You must apply the brakes manually to avoid accidents. • The vehicle ahead has higher ground clearance, meaning the reflectors are in a higher position. • The rear section of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirty. • Surrounding vehicles are flinging up water or snow. • Your front view is obscured by excessive exhaust smoke. • Protective film is attached to the reflectors of the vehicle ahead, or they are damaged. • Reflectors are not installed on the vehicle ahead. • Heavy luggage in your trunk or on your rear seats causes the nose of your vehicle to rise. • A vehicle cuts in at short range. • A motorcycle is traveling along the side of the same lane n To ensure the radar/laser cruise control system functions correctly l Keep the radar sensor and grille cover/laser sensor glass clean. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and be careful not to damage the sensor or grille cover. l Avoid strong impacts around the sensor, as incorrect sensor alignment will result in system malfunction. A special device is required to adjust the sensor alignment. See your Lexus dealer for adjustment. l Do not disassemble the sensor. l Do not affix stickers (including transparent stickers), or attach accessories around the sensor or grille cover/sensor glass. l Do not modify or paint the grille cover. When replacing the cover, be sure to use a genuine Lexus cover. * * Vehicles equipped with the radar cruise control only. 136
