STARTING AND DRIVING Pre−collision sensor The millimeter wave radar sensor detects vehicles or objects near or on the road your vehicle is traveling and determines the possibility of a collision based on the object position, vehicle speeds and the course you are traveling. The pre−collision sensor will operate when the vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or over. CAUTION To ensure that pre−collision system will function properly while driving, observe the following. Failure to follow these instructions could reduce the effectiveness of the pre−collision system in case of vehicle accident: D Always keep the millimeter wave radar sensor and grille cover clean. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and be careful not to damage the sensor and grille cover. D Avoid strong impacts around the millimeter wave radar sensor. An incorrect millimeter wave radar sensor alignment will result in system malfunction. A special device is required to adjust the millimeter wave radar sensor alignment. Be sure to have the sensor adjusted by your Lexus dealer. D Do not disassemble the millimeter wave radar sensor.
