yes, theres a display one and then under that there should be a voice command and something eles then under that there should be a button that has a car with a radar icon. Sorry, i dont know how to explane it i dont have my car yet. But do you know if you have the dynamic radar cruise control, if so then you should have the PCS

When you turn your cruise on the instrument panel multi-display will say radar ready. The grill will have a real unique "L" on it and there won't be any air flow thru the circle/oval. The Steering wheel will have an additional button towards the 3 o'clock position to allow the radar distance selection (3 variances). During sudden braking the seat belts will cinch up with their individual motors to prepare the vehicle for a crash. They won't release until you either come to a stop or the brake is released for at least 3 seconds. The vehicle will beep at you if you approach slow traffic with your radar cruise engaged, and apply the brakes for you but it won't necessarily stop the vehicle for you. Its not a collision avoidance system. It is a pre-collision system. The small differences could be a big difference in saving the life of a loved one if the vehicle were to be involved in a collision. Statistically and theoretically, the system reduces the vehicle's speed and positions the front passenger and driver in a proper position, by taking away seat belt slack, to reduce the chance of hurting themselves. But it can't factor in how improperly you may be positioned in the vehicle or if you are driving w/o a seat belt.

You could get the PCS w/o navigation. If you did then the buttons will be different. I have only seen 3 ISx50s with PCS (mine included) and all three have had Navigation in them so I can't say for sure what it would look like w/o navigation.

The easiest way is the grill emblem. It'll be filled in with clear plastic.
