WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS warning lights not come on
when you start the hybrid system, this
could mean that these systems are not
available to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.

and trailer.)
●After the trailer swaying has stopped:
• Stop in a safe place. Get all occupants out of the vehicle.
• Check the tires of the vehicle and the
trailer.
• Check the load in the trailer. Make sure the load has not shifted.
Make sure the tongue weight is appropri-
ate, if possible.
• Check the load in the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle is not overloaded
after occupants get in.
If you cannot find any problems, the speed
at which trailer swaying occurred is beyond
the limit of your particular vehicle-trailer
combination. Drive at a lower speed to pre-
vent instability. Remember that swaying of
the towing vehicle-trailer increases as
speed increases.
WARNING
■Trailer towing precautions
To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care
and drive the vehicle in accordance with
the trailer’s characteristics and operating
conditions. Failure to do so could cause
an accident resulting in death or serious
injury. Vehicle stability and braking per-
formance are affected by trailer stability,
brake setting and performance, and the
hitch. Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Do not exceed the TWR, unbraked
TWR, GCWR, GVWR or GAWR.
●If the gross trailer weight is over 2000
lb. (907 kg), a sway control device with
sufficient capacity is required.
●Adjust the tongue weight within the
appropriate range. Place heavier loads
as close to the trailer axle as possible.
●Do not exceed 65 mph (104 km/h),
the posted towing speed limit or the
speed limit for your trailer as set forth
in your trailer owner’s manual, which-
ever is lowest. Slow down sufficiently
before making a turn, in cross winds,
on wet or slippery surface, etc. to help
avoid an accident. If you experience a
vehicle-trailer inst ability from reduc-
ing a certain speed, slow down and
make sure you keep your vehicle
speed under the speed of which you
experience the instability.
●Do not make jerky, abrupt or sharp
turns.
●Do not apply the brakes suddenly as
you may skid, resulting in jackknifing
and loss of vehicle control. This is
especially true on wet or slippery sur-
faces.
●Do not exceed the trailer hitch assem-
bly weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and tra iler tongue weight
capacities.
●Do not use the following systems when
trailer towing.
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)
●Slow down and downshift before
descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden down-
shifts while descending steep or long
downhill grades.

*1: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, shift the shift lever to D for normal
driving.
*2: By selecting shift ranges using S mode, you can control accelerating force and
engine braking force.
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range activated
Even when performing the following
actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not occur
because dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range will not be canceled.
●While driving in D or S mode,
downshifting to 5 or 4. ( P.236)
●When switching the driving mode to
sport mode while driving in the D position
(P.276)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start
Control)

mode, move the shift lever with the
brake pedal depressed.

WARNING
■When driving on slippery road sur-

vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (t raction battery)

If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) will not be charged
even when the engine is running. There-
fore, if the vehicle is left with the shift
lever in N for a long period of time, the
hybrid battery (traction battery) will dis-
charge, and this may re sult in the vehicle
not being able to start.

WARNING
■Lexus Safety System + 2.0
The Lexus Safety System + 2.0 is
designed to operate under the assump-
tion that the driver wi ll drive safely, and is
designed to help reduce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case
of a collision or assist the driver in normal
driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recog-
nition 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’s surro undings and driving
safely.

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow) lane
lines, this function alerts the driver
when the vehicle might depart from
its lane or course
* and provides
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course
*. Furthermore, the
system provides steering assistance
when dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range is operating
to keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles
using the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or
a curb
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce
the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle.
The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the
steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, the driver must take
adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of
time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driving
operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, use
the LTA switch to turn the system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA
switch to turn the system off. Failure to do
so may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface
which is slippery due to rainy weather,
fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered
road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see
due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or
restricted lane due to construction
work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are
equipped.
●When the tires have been excessively
worn, or when the tire inflation pres-
sure is low.

■Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying within a
lane, the warning buzzer will sound and
a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to alert the
driver.
■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required assis-
tance by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the lane
centering function does not operate.
In situations where the white (yellow) lane
lines are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, this function
will operate to help follow a preceding
vehicle by monitoring the position of the
preceding vehicle.
If the system detect s that the steering
wheel has not been operated for a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel is not
being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed
on the multi-informat
ion display and the
function is temporarily canceled.
Press the LTA switch to turn the LTA
system on.
The LTA indicator illuminates and a mes-
sage is displayed on the multi-information
display.
Press the LTA switch ag ain to turn the LTA
system off.
When the LTA system is turned on or off,
operation of the LTA system continues in
the same condition the next time the hybrid
system is started.
