●A sensor may be cove red 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 wi ll return to normal.
●The surrounding area of the sensors on
the bumper may be dirty, or a sensor may
be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. In this
case, remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc. from
the sensor or its surrounding area on the
bumper to return the system to a normal
state. At a low temperature, a warning
message may be displayed or an object
may not be detected due to freezing of
the sensor. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
●If this message continues to be displayed
even after cleaning the sensor, or is dis-
played even though the sensor is clean,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
●Initialization may not have been per-
formed after a battery terminal was dis-
connected and reconnected. Initialize the
system. ( P.235)

The function will operate when the PKSB
OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing
( P.69, 70) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that a stronger-than-normal brake opera-
tion is necessary to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Engine output restriction control is oper-
ating.
• The Parking Support Brake determines that an immediate brake operation is nec-
essary to avoid a collision.
■The Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) will stop operating when
The function will stop operating if any of the
following conditions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.
• The system determines that the collision has become avoidable with normal brake
operation.
• The static object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away from the vehicle or in the
WARNING
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or inclination of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from
detecting objects correctly or cause the
system to not operate or operate unnec-
essarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) operates unnecessar-
ily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad cross-
ing, brake control w ill be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you
to proceed forward and leave the area,
brake control can also be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal. Depressing
the accelerator pedal after brake control
is canceled will allow you to proceed for-
ward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
■When to disable the Parking Support
Brake (static objects)
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake (static objects) as
the system may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a
chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free
roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a boat,
truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size other than specified are
installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow
●When using an automatic car wash

• Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed since the vehicle was stopped by brake
control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by brake control.
• The static object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the vehicle or in the
traveling direction of the vehicle.
■Detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking
assist. ( P.224) Therefore, even if the intui-
tive parking assist de tects an object and
provides a warning, the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not start
operating.

function (static obje cts) may not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect cer-
tain objects, such as the following:
●Pedestrian
●Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials
that are poor reflectors of ultrasonic
waves
●Objects which are not perpendicular to
the ground, are not perpendicular to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, are
uneven or are waving
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes
and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to the
bumper
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (stati c objects) may not
operate

■Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking
assist function is enabled or not ( P.221), if
the Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) is enabled ( P.232), the front or
rear sensors detect an object and engine output restriction control or brake control is
performed, the intuitive parking assist
buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the
approximate distance to the object.
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision
In some situations, such as the following, the
Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) may operate even though there is
no possibility of a collision.
●Vehicle surroundings

●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or low- ered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (stati c objects) may not
operate properly
In some situations, such as the following, this
function may not operate properly.
●Weather
• When a sensor or the area around a sen- sor is extremely hot or cold
• When strong winds are blowing • If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt,
etc. (when cleared, the system will return
to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in incl ement weather such
as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be detected
is between the vehicle and a detected
object
• If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the
vehicle or runs out from the side of the
vehicle
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors,
motorcycle engines, air brakes of large
vehicles, the clearance sonar of other

such as the following if a vehicle is
detected in the traveling direction of
the vehicle.
■When reversing, a vehicle is
approaching and the brake pedal is
not depressed, or is depressed late
P.216
■The Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles) will operate
when
The function will operate when the PKSB
OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing
( P.69, 70) and all of the following condi-
tions are met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• Vehicles which are ap proaching from the
right or left at the rear of the vehicle at a
traveling speed of more than approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h)
• The shift lever is in R.
• The Parking Support Brake determines
that a stronger than normal brake opera-
tion is necessary to avoid a collision with
Parking Support Brake func-
tion (rear-crossing vehicles)*
If a rear radar sensor detects a vehi-
cle approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle and the
system determines that the possi-
bility of a collision is high, this func-
tion will perform brake control to
reduce the likelihood of an impact
with the approaching vehicle.
Examples of function operation
Types of sensors
WARNING
■To ensure the Parking Support Brake
(rear-crossing vehicles) can operate
properly

■Detection area of the Parking Support
Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking Support
Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles) dif-
fers from the detection area of the RCTA
function ( P.228). Therefore, even if the
RCTA function detects a vehicle and pro-
vides an alert, the Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing vehicles) may not
start operating.
■Conditions under which the Parking
Support Brake function (rear-crossing
vehicles) will not detect a vehicle
The Parking Support Brake function (rear-
crossing vehicles) is not designed to detect
the following types of vehicles and/or
objects:
●Vehicles approaching from directly
behind

3Sport mode
Assists acceleration response by con-
trolling the transmission, engine and steer-
ing. Suitable for when precise handling is
desirable, for example when driving on
mountain roads.
When not in Sport mode, if the driving
mode select switch is turned backward, the
“Sport” indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cool-
ing operations and fan speed of the air con-
ditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency.
To improve air condit ioning performance,
perform the following operations:
●Turn off eco air conditioning mode
( P.264)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.262, 265)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of Sport mode
If the engine switch is turned off after driv-
ing in Sport mode, the driving mode will be
changed to Normal mode.
■Driving mode pop-up display (vehicles
with 10.3-inch display model)
When the driving mode is changed, the
selected driving mode will be temporarily
displayed on the side display. ( P.259)
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the
brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a
slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of brak-
ing force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a
panic stop situation.
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving sudden ly or turning on
slippery road surfaces
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehi-
cle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability
when swerving on slippery road sur-
faces by controlling steering perfor-
mance.
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and perfor-
mance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to
various driving situations. Be aware,
however, that these systems are
supplementary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.
