■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D.
●Range 4 or higher of D has been selected by using the paddle shift switch. (vehicles with paddle shift switches)
●Vehicle speed is above approximately 50 km/h (30 mph). However, when a precedingvehicle is detected, the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be seteven if the vehicle speed is at or below approximately 50 km/h (30 mph).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehi-
cle speed may decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the pre- ceding vehicle.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the following situ- ations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximat ely 40 km/h (25 mph) when there are no
vehicles ahead.
●The preceding vehicle leaves the lane when your vehicle is following at a vehicle speed below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). Otherwise, the sensor cannot properly
detect the vehicle.
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF switch.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●Pre-crash braking is activated.

• The driver is not wearing a seat belt. • The driver’s door is opened.• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any other rea- son, there may be a malfunction in the syst em. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qua lified and equipped professional.
