328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following dis-
tance, and operates to maintain a suitab le following distance from the vehicle
ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill sl opes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates
your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies
the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in
the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by
the driver. Approach warning warns you when th e system cannot decelerate sufficiently to
prevent your vehicle from clos ing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehi cle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control). After the vehicle ahead starts of f, pushing the cruise control lever up or
depressing the accelerator peda l (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the
start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your vehicle
stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane while
driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will accelerate to help to overtake a
passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be dete rmined solely based on
the location of the steering wheel in the vehicl e (left side driver position versus right side
driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a re gion where the overtaking lane is on a different
side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the sys-
tem
There is a limit to the degree of recogni-
tion accuracy and control performance
that this system can provide, do not
overly rely on this system. The driver is
always responsible for paying attention
to the vehicle’ surroundings and driving
safely.
■To ensure the system can operate
properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be dr iven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●Do not damage the sensors, and
always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install an
electronic compon ent, such as a
backlit license plate (especially fluo-
rescent type), fog lights, fender pole or
wireless antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding area of
the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-
jected to an impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the
front or rear bumper needs to be
emoved/installed or replaced, contact
your Lexus dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint
the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate cover.
●Keep your tires properly inflated.

2664-5. Using the driving support systems
■Trailer Sway Control (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control trailer sway
by selectively applying brake pressure
for individual wheels and reducing
driving torque when trailer sway is
detected.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and pre-
vent the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerat-
ing on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from drift-
ing to the outer side by performing
inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turning
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward move-
ment of the vehicle when starting on an
uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce
the amount of effort needed to turn the
steering wheel
■Dynamic Torque Control AWD
system (AWD models)
Automatically switches from
front-wheel drive to all-wheel drive
(AWD) according to the driving condi-
tions, helping to ensure reliable han-
dling and stability. Examples of
conditions where the system will switch
to AWD are when cornering, going
uphill, starting off or accelerating, and
when the road surface is slippery due
to snow, rain, etc.
■Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (if equipped)
Controls the damping force of the
shock absorber of each wheel accord-
ing to the road and driving conditions,
helping achieve a comfortable ride,
excellent driveability and a high level of
stability.
If Sport S+ mode is selected using the
driving mode select switch, the damp-
ing force will become more suitable for
sporty driving. ( P.262)
■VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Inte-
grated Management) (if equipped)
Provides integrated control of the
ABS, brake assist, TRAC, VSC,
hill-start assist control and EPS systems
Helps to maintain vehicle stability when
swerving on slippery road surfaces by
controlling the brakes, engine output
and steering assist.
■The Secondary Collision Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor detects a
collision and the system operates, the
brakes and brake lights are automati-
cally controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the possibility
of further damage due to a secondary
collision.
■When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems
are operating.

2724-6. Driving tips
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of the
climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on
the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
 Check for and remove any excess
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s
roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from the
bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.
 Park the vehicle and move the shift
lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may
freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels. Fail-
ure to do so may be dangerous
because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly lead-
ing to an accident.
When the parking brake is in automatic
mode, release the parking brake after shift-
ing the shift lever to P. ( P.180)
If the vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out
of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position with out depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, ther e may be a problem
with the shift lock sy stem. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire
size.
Side chain (0.12 in. [3 mm] in diam-
eter)
Side chain (0.43 in. [10.8 mm] in
width)
Side chain (0.98 in. [25 mm] in
length)
Cross chain (0.15 in. [3.9 mm] in
diameter)

width)
