As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use Pre-Collision System (3) with Pedestrian Detection (6) instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the system may not operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as when driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, fog, snow, sandstorm, etc.) or while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a preceding vehicle/pedestrian may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating properly.

VEHICLE DETECTION

Pre-Collision System (3) with Pedestrian Detection (6) uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grille-mounted millimeter-wave radar to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle.

•When the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with that vehicle is high, it prompts the
driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audible and visual alert.

•These alerts operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 7 to 110 MPH for potential collisions with a vehicle.

•If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking force using Brake Assist(10). This system may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

•If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with another vehicle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the impact and – in certain cases – avoid the collision.

•Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection may operate automated braking for potential collisions with a vehicle when vehicle speeds
are between approximately 7 to 110 MPH11.

•May reduce vehicle speed by up to 25 MPH for potential collisions with a vehicle (11).

PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

In certain conditions, Pre-Collision System (3) with Pedestrian Detection (6) may also help to detect a preceding pedestrian.

•The in-vehicle camera of Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection may detect a potential pedestrian based on size, profile and motion of the detected pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size and angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from operating. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.

•Under certain conditions, if Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a pedestrian is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audible and visual alert, followed by Brake Assist (10).

•These alerts operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 7 to 50 MPH.

•If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the risk of collision with a pedestrian is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the impact and – in certain cases – avoid the collision.

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection may operate automated braking for potential collisions with a pedestrian when vehicle
speeds are between approximately 7 to 50 MPH (12).

•Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection may reduce vehicle speed by up to 19 MPH for potential collisions with a pedestrian (12).

If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brake function, the operation of the pre-collision brake hold will be canceled (brake will be released) after the vehicle has been stopped for approximately two seconds, to allow the vehicle to move if necessary. The driver of the vehicle must then determine whether brake or gas pedal application, or neither, is appropriate for the conditions. Pre-Collision System (3) with Pedestrian Detection (6) automatic system cancellation may occur if there is a failure with Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, at which time the warning light turns ON or flashes and a warning message is displayed. The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-collision braking function from operating. In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.

The following setting(s) can be adjusted (varies by vehicle). Adjustments affect both vehicle and pedestrian detection together; they cannot be adjusted independently:
• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection alert timing (alert timing only; brake operation remains the same): Far – Mid (default) – Near.
• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: turn function ON or OFF. If Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection is turned off by the driver, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection will default back to ON with the Mid alert timing each time the ignition (IGN) is cycled.

Refer to a Lexus Owner’s Manual for additional information on Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection operation, setting adjustments, limitations and precautions.
