observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations under any
circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen damage or injuries in
all cases. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
This system has been designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of collisions.
However, the system operates differently depending on the situation (P. 297,
298). As a result, the same level of performance may not be expected in all cases.

■
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effectively.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
Keep the sensor and grille cover clean at all times.
●
Clean the sensor and grille cover 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 become inaccurate or
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 cover or surrounding area.
●
Do not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.
●
If the radar sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.
