In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, even
when the system is functioning correctly:

night.

extremely high or low.
lWater droplets are on the camera lens
or humidity is high, such as when it
rains.

camera, a smear effect* characteristic to
the camera may occur.

occurs when a bright light is picked up by
the camera; when transmitted by the

a vertical streak above and below it.

CAUTION
nLimitations of the pre-collision system
Do not rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
nWhen the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary in any of the following situations.
lWhen water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the function-
ing of the sensor
lWhen your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment etc.)
lVehicles that cut in suddenly
lVehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
lMotorcycles traveling in the same lane
nHandling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effectively:
lKeep the sensor and front grille clean at all times.
Clean the sensor and front grille with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage
them.
lDo not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may malfunction. If the
sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area
inspected and adjusted by your Lexus dealer.
lDo not disassemble the sensor.
lDo not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille or surrounding area.
lDo not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.
