indiasfinest Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 i believe its the GS and IS (im not sure but i know for a fact lexus has it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 i believe its the GS and IS (im not sure but i know for a fact lexus has it) ← Some Lexus' (i know the LS has it) when it senses an object x feet in front of it while the car is going very fast, it figures that if you don't add your brakes quickly, you're SOL, so it applies the brakes for you.

91L3xus Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Probably came out with the addition of the parking aids, just a less sensitive sensor used while the car is moving, and instead of turning on a warning buzzer, it applies the brakes? Would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The LS430 has the option for the PCS, or pre-collision system. Its availiable also on the new GS430. Came out in late late 2004. It doesn't apply the brakes though. What it does do is sense when a nearby object is closing at a high rate of speed from the front it tightens up the seatbelts to prepare for the crash and meters airbag deployment rates, readies full braking power, etc. VERY few LS430s have it, and I can tell you whether an LS430 does by looking at a picture of the front. The brake force distribution feature that came out in 2000 that all modern Lexus' have applies full braking power when the system senses an emergency application of the brakes.

SW03ES Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The round things are the parking assist, on the front and back. The PCS sensor is behind the Lexus symbol on the grille, with the radar cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
