Hands-free parking with Intelligent Parking Assist

Even a simple task like parking is handled with remarkable precision. Lexus is the world’s first luxury vehicle manufacturer to introduce Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA)* to a production vehicle in the Australian market, offering stress-free parking. Simply touch the IPA pre support switch on the steering wheel for standard or parallel parking. Beeps will tell you where to position the car and when to select reverse. Then there’s little for you to do but control the speed of the vehicle by touching the brake pedal.

*Intelligent Parking Assist is designed as a driver assist device only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving and safe parking practices. The driver should watch the area into which the vehicle is to be reversed, react appropriately and ensure compliance with all road rules. Intelligent Parking Assist requires brake control.

Lane change indicator

As you change lanes, the lane change indicator flasher warns other drivers of your move. Simply touch the combination switch on the indicator column in the direction of your lane change and the moment you turn the wheel, the turn signal flashes and then switches off automatically.

Radar technology watches out for your safety

Discreetly integrated within the front grille is an advanced millimetre wave radar sensor. It relays data to the Pre–Collision safety System (PCS)*, which can predict some possible collisions with oncoming obstacles. THE PCS then retracts the slack in the seatbelts, and adjusts the brake controls for maximum braking performance, helping to minimise the impact of a collision.

The reassurance of Pre–Collision safety

For added peace of mind, the Lexus Pre–Collision safety System (PCS)* can help reduce collision injury and damage. A radar sensor in the front grille constantly scans for objects in front of the car. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it retracts the front seatbelts and signals the Brake Assist to increase braking force help reduce collision speed.

Brake Hold keeps you secure

To keep you from moving while stopped on a level road, a brake hold function maintains brake pressure on all four wheels, keeping the car stationary. The brakes are automatically released the moment you touch the accelerator pedal.

Acting ahead for your safety

You're embraced by the reassurance of a comprehensive package of technologies includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC). The braking system combines an Anti–lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake–force Distribution (EBD).

The confidence of Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management

Should you encounter a loss of traction,an advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system offers a greater sense of control. It integrates the braking, throttle and steering controls, for enhanced drivability.

Active headrests

In the event of a rear collision at low speeds, the front surface of the headrest moves forward and upward, a function made possible by a high speed spring device built into the headrest. This helps reduce the sudden backward distortion of the neck and assists in preventing whiplash injury for front seat occupants.

A comprehensive 10 airbag package

In the event of a collision, Lexus LS 460 has a comprehensive package of ten SRS airbags. It has dual–stage SRS airbags for the front driver and passenger, front–seat side airbags, SRS knee airbags help protect the lower limbs of the driver and front seat passenger, SRS rear side airbags help protect the rear outer passengers, and full–length side curtain–shield airbags.

*PCS is a driver assist technology and should not be used in place of safe driving practices. The driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
