: If equipped

The Advanced Park is a system which 
assists in a safe and smooth parking or 
exiting from a parking space by dis-
playing the blind spots around the vehi-
cle and the target parking spot through 
a bird’s eye view, delivering operation 
guidance through displays and buzzer 
operation, and shifting the shift posi-
tion, operating the steering wheel, 
accelerator pedal, and brake pedal.
Additionally, the panoramic view moni-
tor

*

 can display the area in front, 

behind, and from above the vehicle, 
helping confirm the condition of the 
area around the vehicle.
The turn signal lights will blink automat-
ically when the parking assistance 
starts until the vehicle reaches the tar-
get parking spot, to notify people 
around the vehicle that parking is being 
performed.

Depending on the condition of the road 
surface or the vehicle, the distance 
between the vehicle and a parking space, 
etc., it may not be possible to assist in park-
ing in the target space.

WARNING

As with a normal vehicle, take care to 

observe your surroundings while the 

vehicle is moving.

Always pay attention to the vehicle’s 

surroundings while the system is oper-

ating and depress the brake pedal as 

necessary to slow or stop the vehicle.

When parking, make sure that the 

vehicle can be parked in the target 

parking space before beginning oper-

ation.

Depending on the condition of the 

road surface or the vehicle, the dis-

tance between the vehicle and a park-

ing space, etc., it may not be possible 

to detect a parking space or the sys-

tem may not be able to provide assis-

tance to the point the vehicle is fully 

parked.

This system will guide the vehicle to 

appropriate positions for changing the 

direction of travel, however, if you feel 

that the vehicle is approaching too 

close to an adjacent parked vehicle at 

any time, depress the brake pedal and 

shift the shift position. However, if this 

is performed, the number of times the 

vehicle changes direction may 

increase, and the vehicle may be 

parked at an angle.

As following objects may not be 

detected, make sure to check the 

safety of the area around your vehicle 

and depress the brake pedal to stop 

the vehicle if it may collide with an 

object.

• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

• Cotton, snow and other materials that 

absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects

• Low objects (curb stones, parking 

blocks, etc.)

• Tall objects with upper sections pro-

jecting outwards in the direction of 

your vehicle

Even if there is an object in the target 

parking space, it may not be detected 

and assistance may be performed.

While the system is operating, if it is 

likely that your vehicle will collide with 

a nearby vehicle, parking block, object, 

or person, depress the brake pedal to 

stop the vehicle and press the 

Advanced Park main switch to disable 

the system.

Never use only the center display to 

view the area behind the vehicle. The 

image displayed may differ than the 

actual situation. Using only the screen 

when backing up may lead to an acci-

dent, such as a collision with another 

vehicle. When backing up, make sure 

to look directly or use the mirrors to 

check the safety of the area around 

your vehicle, especially behind the 

vehicle.

When the ambient temperature is 

extremely low, the screen may appear 

dark or the displayed image may 

become unclear. Also, as moving 

objects may appear distorted or may 

not be able to be seen on the screen, 

make sure to directly check the safety 

of the area around your vehicle.

In the following situations, while the 

vehicle is stopped and held by 

Advanced Park, it may be canceled 

and the vehicle may start moving. 

Immediately depress the brake pedal. 

Failure to do so may lead to an acci-

dent.

• When the driver’s door is opened

• When operations instructed by the 

system are not performed within a cer-

tain amount of time

• When the brake pedal is depressed 

and the vehicle is stopped for a certain 

amount of time

6-3.Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision

When the vehicle is subjected to a 
severe frontal or side impact or roll-
over, the pretensioners retract the seat 
belts of the front seats and rear outer 
seats to securely restrain the occu-
pants.
The pretensioners will not operate in 
minor frontal or side impacts, or rear 
impacts.

Replacing the belt after the preten-

sioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-

sions, the pretensioner will activate for the 

first collision, but will not activate for the 

second or subsequent collisions.

PCS-linked control

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-

mines that the possibility of a collision with a 

vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners 

will be prepared to operate.

WARNING

Seat belt pretensioners

Observe the following precautions to 

reduce the risk of injury in the event of 

sudden braking or an accident. Failure to 

do so may result in death or serious 

injury.

Do not place anything, such as a cush-

ion, on the front passenger’s seat. 

Doing so will disperse the passenger’s 

weight, which prevents the sensor 

from detecting the passenger’s weight 

properly. As a result, the seat belt pre-

tensioner for the front passenger’s seat 

may not operate in the event of a colli-

sion.

If a pretensioner has operated, the 

SRS warning light will illuminate. 

In this situation, the seat belt cannot be 

used and must be replaced by your 

Lexus dealer.

SRS airbags

The SRS airbags deploy when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of 
severe impact that may cause significant injury to the occupants. The airbags 
work together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious 
injury.

Your vehicle is equipped with 
ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on US motor vehicle safety stan-
dards (FMVSS208). The airbag sen-
sor assembly (ECU) controls airbag 
deployment based on information 
obtained from the sensors, etc., shown 
in the system components diagram 
above. This information includes crash 
severity and occupant information. As 
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction 
in the inflators quickly fills the airbags 

with non-toxic gas to help restrain the 
motion of the occupants.

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may 

be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the 

extremely high speed of deployment 

(inflation) by hot gases.

A loud noise and white powder will be 

emitted.

Parts of the airbag module (steering 

wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as 

well as the parts around the airbags may 

be hot for several minutes. The airbag

the response center, notifying them of the 

vehicle’s location (without needing to 

push the “SOS” button) and an agent will 

attempt to speak with the occupants to 

ascertain the level of emergency and 

assistance required. If the occupants are
