■Temporary cancellation of functions
When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation of the function is auto-
matically restored. ( P. 320)
■Lane departure control function/lane-keeping assist function
Depending on the vehicle speed, lane departure situation, road conditions, etc., the
operation of the functions may not be reco gnized or the functions may not operate.
■Lane departure alert function
The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noise, audio playback, etc.
Also, it may be difficult to feel steering wh eel vibrations due to the road conditions, etc.
■Hands off steering wheel alert
Except for Israel: When the system determines that the driver has removed their hands
from the steering wheel while the lane departure control function or lane-keeping assist function is operating, a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display. If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel, the buzzer sounds, a
warning message is displayed and the function is temporarily canceled. This alert also operates in the same way when the vehicle is driven with the steering wheel lightlygripped. However, depending on the road conditions, etc., the function may not cancel.
For Israel: When the system determines that the driver has removed their hands from the steering wheel while the lane departure contro l function or lane-keeping assist function is operating, a warning message is displaye d on the multi-information display and the
buzzer sounds.
■White (yellow) lines are only on one side of road
The LKA system will not operate for the side on which white (yellow) lines could not be
recognized.

RSA recognizes specific road signs
using the camera sensor and provides
information to the driver via the multi-
information display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed limit, perform-
ing prohibited actions, etc. in relation to the recognized road signs, it alerts the
driver using a warning display and warning buzzer*.
*: This setting needs to be customized.

WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system. RS A is a system which supports the driver by
providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and aware- ness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an unexpected accident.

After the camera sensor recognizes a sign, it is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display when the vehicle passes the sign.
●When the driving assist system infor-
mation is selected, a maximum of 3
signs can be displayed. ( P. 100)
●When other than the driving assist
system information is selected, a
speed limit sign or an all canceled
sign can be displayed. ( P. 100)
A no overtaking sign and a speed limit sign with supplemental mark are
not displayed. However, if signs other than speed limit signs are recog-nized, they are mentioned in a stack
under the current speed limit sign.

*1: If the turn signal indicator is not operated when changing lanes, the mark does not dis-
play.
*2: Vehicles with a navigation system
In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a warning dis-
play.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold applied to the
speed limit of the sign displayed on the multi-information display, the sign
color becomes inverted.
●If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking sign is dis-
played on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
●Vehicles with a navigation system: When the RSA system recognizes a no-
entry sign and detects that the vehicle has entered a no-entry area based on
the map information of the navigation system, the no-entry sign flashes.
Depending on the situation, traffic environment (traffic direction, speed, unit)
may be detected incorrectly and a warning display may not operate properly.
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
●A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not op erate normally and may not recognize signs,
display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the windshield near the camera sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc. enters the camera sensor.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast is poor.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign exists
directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system comp atible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
Warning display

3284-5. Using the driving support systems
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
●Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight of the cam- era sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the camera sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
■When driving vehicle in country with different speed unit
Since RSA recognizes signs based on the set un it of the meter, it is necessary to change
the set unit of the meter. Adjust the set unit of the meter to the speed unit of signs in the current location. ( P. 740)
■Speed limit sign display
If the engine switch was last turned off while a speed limit sign was displayed on the multi- information display, the same sign displays again when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
■When “Check RSA system” is displaye d on the multi-information display
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qua lified and equipped professional immediately.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 110)

In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically acceler-
ates, decelerates and stops to match the speed changes of the preceding vehicle
even if the accelerator pedal is not depr essed. In constant speed control mode,
the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range on freeways and
highways.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
Driving safely is the sole resp onsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your surroundings.
The dynamic radar cruise control with full- speed range provides driving assistance to reduce the driver's burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance provided.
Even when the system is functioning norma lly, the condition of the preceding vehicle as
detected by the system may differ from the condition observed by the driver. There- fore, the driver must always remain alert, as sess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying on this system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can
lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided
by the system. Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-sp eed range is only intended to help the driver in determining the fo llowing distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is no t a mechanism that allows careless or inat-
tentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility condi- tions. It is still necessary for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range determines whether the fol- lowing distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead is within a set range. It is not capable of making any other type of judgement.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of danger in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range has limited capability to pre- vent or avoid a collision with a vehicle trave ling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any danger, the driver must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act
appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all involved.
■To avoid inadvertent dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range activation
Switch the dynamic radar cruise control wi th full-speed range off using the “ON/OFF”
button when not in use.
