Approach Warning - Lexus GX 460 User Manual

Example of constant speed cruising
1
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.
Example of deceleration cruising
2
When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system
applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate suf-
ficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of follow-up cruising
3
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the speed of
the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
4
When there are no longer any vehicles ahead driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con-
stant speed cruising.

Approach warning

When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure
an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
