■Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operationa l at the following speeds:
●Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 50 mph
[30 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (Fordetecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has
not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collis ion warning function will be operational)
■Pedestrian detection function
■Cancelation of the pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-co llision braking function is operating, it will
be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
The pre-collision system detects pedestrians
based on the size, prof
ile, and motion of a
detected object. However, a pedestrian may not
be detected depending on the surrounding
brightness and the motion, posture, and angle of
the detected object, preventing the system from
operating properly. ( P. 289)

■If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the vehicle stra ight ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed
of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■If “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the mu lti-information display and the ICS OFF indi-
cator is flashing
●A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from
the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal.
●If this message continues to be displayed even after cleaning the sensor, or is displayed
even though the sensor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●Initialization may not have been performed after a battery terminal was disconnected
and reconnected. Init ialize the system. (P. 347)
■If “ICS Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is di splayed on the multi-information display and
the ICS OFF indicator is flashing
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
