Blind Spot Monitor

The blind spot monitor is a system
that uses rear side radar sensors
installed on the inner side of the
rear bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in confirm-
ing safety when changing lanes.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe

driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

●

The blind spot monitor is a supplemen-

tary function which alerts the driver

that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the

outside rear view mirrors or is

approaching rapidly from behind into a

blind spot. Do not overly rely on the

blind spot monitor. As the function

cannot judge if it is safe to change

lanes, over reliance could lead to an

accident resulting in death or serious

injury. As the system may not function

correctly under certain conditions, the

driver’s own visual confirmation of

safety is necessary.

WARNING

■

To ensure the system can operate

properly

Blind spot monitor sensors are installed

behind the left and right sides of the rear

bumper respectively. Observe the fol-

lowing to ensure the blind spot monitor

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe

driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

●

The safe exit assist is a supplementary

system that, when the vehicle is

stopped, informs occupants of the

existence of approaching vehicles and

bicycles. As this system alone cannot

be used to judge safety, over-reliance

on this system may lead to an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

There is a limit to the degree of recogni-

tion accuracy and control performance

that this system can provide, do not

overly rely on this system. The driver is

always responsible for paying attention

to the vehicle’ surroundings and driving

safely.

■

To ensure the system can operate

properly

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may result in the vehicle

being unable to be driven safely and pos-

sibly cause an accident.

●

Do not damage the sensors, and

always keep them clean.

●

Do not attach a sticker or install an

electronic component, such as a back-

lit license plate (especially fluorescent

type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-

less antenna near a radar sensor.

●

Do not subject the surrounding area of

the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-

jected to an impact, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the

front or rear bumper needs to be

removed/installed or replaced, con-

tact your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not modify, disassemble or paint

the sensors.

●

Do not attach a license plate cover.

●

Keep your tires properly inflated.

■

When to disable the function

In the following situations, disable the

function as it may operate even though

there is no possibility of a collision.

●

Failing to observe the warnings above.

If “Parking Assist Unavailable Sensor

Blocked” is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation display

A sensor may be covered with water drops,

ice, snow, dirt, etc.

Remove the water drops, ice, snow, dirt,

etc., from the sensor to return the system to

normal.
If a sensor is dirty, the position of the dirty

sensor will be shown on the display.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low

temperatures, a warning message may be

displayed or the sensor may not be able to

detect an object. Once the ice melts, the

system will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed even if the

sensor is clean, there may be a sensor mal-

function. Have the vehicle inspected by

your Lexus dealer.

■

Sensor detection information

●

The sensor’s detection areas are limited

to the areas around the vehicle’ front and

rear bumpers.

●

The following situations may occur

during use.

• Depending on the shape of the object

and other factors, the detection distance

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

• Detection may be impossible if static

objects draw too close to the sensor.

• There will be a short delay between static

object detection and display (warning

buzzer sounds). Even at low speeds,

there is a possibility that the object will

come within 1.0 ft. (30 cm) before the

display is shown and the warning buzzer

sounds.

• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due

to the volume of the audio system or air

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

• It may be difficult to hear the sound of this

system due to the buzzers of other sys-

tems.

■

Objects which the system may not be

properly detected

The shape of the object may prevent the

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular

attention to the following objects:

●

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

●

Cotton, snow and other materials that

absorb sound waves

●

Sharply-angled objects

●

Low objects

●

Tall objects with upper sections project-

ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-

cle

People may not be detected if they are

wearing certain types of clothing.

Calculated vehicle route

When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can detect objects.
While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can no longer be detected by the
side sensors or side cameras, the location of the object relative to the vehicle is
estimated. If the object is determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the
object warning function will operate.

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras

The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not
detected.

Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.

Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side sensors or
side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer sounds.

■

Object warning function operating con-

ditions

The object warning function is operational

when the intuitive parking assist OFF indi-

cator is not illuminated or flashing and any

of the following conditions is met:

●

The Advanced Park is operating.

●

The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft. (7 m)

after the EV system is started.

●

The R shift position is selected.

●

After the shift position has been changed

from R to D, the vehicle has moved 23.0

ft. (7 m) or less.

●

center display is displayed.

●

The front or rear sensor detects a station-

ary object.

■

Detection of objects along the sides of

switch is changed to ON, even if an

object is along the side of the vehicle, it

may not be detected until the vehicle has

been driven a small amount and the side

sensors or side cameras completely scan

the areas along the sides of the vehicle.

●

If a vehicle, person, animal, etc. is

detected by a side sensor or side camera,

but then leaves the detection area of the

side sensor or side camera, the system

will assume the object has not moved.

The PKSB (Parking Support Brake)
system consists of the following
functions that operate when driving
at a low speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the system
determines that a collision with a
detected object or pedestrian is
high, a warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive action. If
the system determines that the pos-
sibility of a collision with a detected
object or pedestrian is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

Do not overly rely on the system, as

doing so may lead to an accident. Always

drive while checking the safety of the sur-

roundings of the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle and road con-

ditions, weather, etc., the system may not

operate.

The detection capabilities of sensors,

radars and camera are limited. Always

drive while checking the safety of the sur-

roundings of the vehicle.

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe

driving. Always drive carefully, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

The PKSB (Parking Support Brake)

system is designed to provide support

to lessen the severity of collisions.

However, it may not operate in some

situations.

●

The PKSB (Parking Support Brake)

system is not designed to stop the

vehicle completely. Additionally, even

if the system has stopped the vehicle, it

is necessary to depress the brake

pedal immediately as brake control will

be canceled after approximately 2

seconds.

●

It is extremely dangerous to check the

system operations by intentionally

driving the vehicle into the direction of

a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.

■

When to disable the PKSB (Parking

Support Brake) system

In the following situations, disable the

PKSB (Parking Support Brake) as the

Precautions for the suspension

Do not modify the suspension of the

vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehicle is

changed, the sensors may not be able to

detect detectable objects and the system

may not operate correctly, possibly lead-

ing to an accident.

If the PKSB (Parking Support Brake)
determines that a collision with a
detected object or pedestrian is possi-
ble, the EV system output will be
restricted to restrain any increase in
the vehicle speed. (EV system output
restriction control: See figure 2.) Addi-
tionally, if the accelerator pedal contin-
ues to be depressed, the brakes will be
applied automatically to reduce the
vehicle speed. (Brake control: See fig-
ure 3.)

If the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) has

operated

If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of

the PKSB (Parking Support Brake), the

PKSB (Parking Support Brake) will be dis-

abled and the driving assist infomation indi-

cator will illuminate. If the PKSB (Parking

Support Brake) operates unnecessarily,

brake control can be canceled by depress-

ing the brake pedal or waiting for approxi-

mately 2 seconds for it to automatically be

canceled. Then, the vehicle can be oper-

ated by depressing the accelerator pedal.

■

Re-enabling the PKSB (Parking Support

Brake) system

To re-enable the PKSB (Parking Support

Brake) when it has been disabled due to

operation of the PKSB (Parking Support

Brake), either enable the system again

(



P.366), or turn the power switch off and

then back to ON.
Additionally, if any of the following condi-

tions are met, the system will be re-enabled

automatically and the driving assist infoma-

tion indicator will turn off:

●

The P shift position is selected

●

The object is no longer detected in the

traveling direction of the vehicle

●

The traveling direction of the vehicle

changes

If the sensors detect a static object,
such as a wall, in the travelling direction
of the vehicle and the system deter-
mines that a collision may occur due to
the vehicle suddenly moving forward
due to an accidental accelerator pedal

operation, the vehicle moving the unin-
tended direction due to the wrong shift
position, or while parking or traveling
at low speeds, the system will operate
to lessen the impact with the detected
static object and reduce the resulting
damage.

The system operates in the following
situations when a static object is
detected in the traveling direction of
the vehicle.



When the vehicle is traveling at a
low speed and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late



When the accelerator pedal is

incorrect shift position being
selected

The system will operate in the following
situations when a stationary object is
detected in the surrounding area.
