■
Limitations of the pre-collision system
Do not rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.
■
When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary in any of the following situations:
●
When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the function-
ing of the sensor
●
When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment etc.)
●
Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●
Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
●
Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
■
Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effectively:
●
Keep the sensor and front grille clean at all times.
Clean the sensor and front grille with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage
them.
●
Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may malfunction. If the
sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area
inspected and adjusted by your Lexus dealer.
●
Do not disassemble the sensor.
●
Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille or surrounding area.
●
Do not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.
