Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual: System Description

• There is an obstacle on the shoulder of the road (when the vehicle is driven in a narrow tunnel, on a narrow bridge or on a narrow road).
• The vehicle is being driven on grass or a gravel road.
• The vehicle is driven toward a banner or flag, a low-hanging branch or a boom barrier (such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parking lots).

  HINT:

  Even if the intelligent clearance sonar system operates while on a railroad crossing, brake control will be automatically be canceled after approximately 2 seconds. Brake control can also be canceled by depressing the brake pedal. After brake control is canceled, depress the accelerator pedal to drive out of the railroad crossing.

• The vehicle is close to other vehicles while being parallel parked.
• The vehicle is being driven on a steep slope.
• There are objects located lower than the ultrasonic sensors.
• The vehicle is being driven on a narrow road.
• There is a rut or hole in the surface of the road.
• When the vehicle is driven on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for drainage ditches.

• In severe weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
• Foreign matter such as snow, ice or mud is attached to an ultrasonic sensor. (The system returns to normal when the foreign matter is removed.)
• When there is a downpour, or water is splashing on the vehicle.
• Water is covering an ultrasonic sensor due to a flooded road.

• When ultrasonic waves are received from the horn or parking sonar system of another vehicle, a motorcycle engine, or the air brakes of a large vehicle.
• Electronic components such as a backlit license plate (especially fluorescent types), fog lights, a fender pole or a wireless antenna are installed near an ultrasonic sensor.

• The height of the vehicle has drastically changed due to loading (the nose tilts up or down).
• The vehicle is significantly tilted.
• An ultrasonic sensor is misaligned due to a collision, etc.

• The vehicle is being loaded onto a ship, truck or other transport vessel.
• The vehicle is being operated on a drum tester such as a speedometer tester, brake/speedometer combination tester or chassis dynamometer.
• When the vehicle is being towed.

• When a vehicle is travelling along a road that is located extremely close to a parking space.
• When a vehicle is entering an adjacent parking space.
• When an object is passing extremely close to the vehicle.
• When there is a metal object behind the vehicle such as a guard rail, wall, traffic sign or parked vehicle that easily reflects radio waves.

• The intelligent clearance sonar system uses the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, the meter mirror sub-assembly and ICS OFF indicator light to indicate the operation status of the system.

• When the operation conditions are met, the clearance warning ECU assembly sends display or illumination request signals to the combination meter assembly, meter mirror sub-assembly and ICS OFF indicator light. The clearance warning ECU assembly also sends buzzer sound request signals to the combination meter assembly.

• When operation of the intelligent clearance sonar system is temporarily suspended due to a malfunction or dirty ultrasonic sensor, a message is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, the ICS OFF indicator light blinks and the buzzer sounds.

• When the intelligent clearance sonar system is off, the ICS OFF indicator light illuminates.
