Default Where is the Pre-collision button? (update: found)

I just picked up my U.S. GX 460 premium with the wide-view pre-collision and driver attention monitor and I cannot find the button for the pre-collision.

Where is the Pre-collision button? (update: found)-pcs.jpg

The manual shows it in a position that looks like it is under the steering wheel. Does anyone know where this switch is? This might be one of those Canadian options that we do not get. If so why offer it on the car. Can someone help me with this? If you can could some one post a picture also?

Can you post a pic of your steering wheel?

Do you have a lane departure alert (LDA) button next to the vehicle distance button?

When you open the driver's door, before getting in, look on the panel below the steering column that contains the knee air bags.

I check again on the lower console at the knee airbag and ther is no button. I looked on the steering wheel and all around the column and there is no switch. Can someone tell me if they have ordered the same package also and have the switch.

The button you found is to turn off. You will have it if it is not turn off. You do not need to press any button.

Default I finally found the Pre-collision button

After running my hand under the dashboard again I found a button. The Pre-collision button is under the dash in front of the brake pedal. Anyone can miss it because you actually have to lie on the mat and look up under the dash to see the small button. I did notice that the PCS light was illuminated in the console after I pushed the button. The manual has a very poor representation of where the button is located at. The first picture is the manual's picture. The second picture shows me pointing toward the area under the dashboard in front of the brake pedal. And the next picture is the PCS button. I think that Lexus should have put the button in a more conspicous location.

If anyone else had ordered the PCS options please can you let me know if it had worked for you while driving.?

Glad you found it!

Looks like they really don't want you to push that button by mistake.

Can you post your specs and a pic on the roll call thread?

You're one of the few who have the PCS, and I have not seen the Claret Mica with Sepia.
