my '14 250 F Sport did not have the radar pre-collision avoidance and radar cruise, but my '16 IS350 F Sport does have it. It has freaked out twice now while going around a curve with no obstruction in front of me. It did not apply brakes, but did sound the alarm and show me a flashing dash light. Is this normal? I think it may have picked up a guardrail on the left in one case and a median in the other. I was rounding a bend in both scenarios and was nowhere near in danger of hitting the left medians. I was wondering if it might be a battery issue because I get a long tone on occasion as well, which means 'key FOB detected in car,' when in fact the key FOB is in my pocket and out of the car. Maybe the two things are unrelated.

It could be that your system needs recalibration by a Lexus mechanic/tech. That or maybe change the sensitivity like Jay89 said. I have mine to minimum sensitivity because I like to get close to people (; lol

Do you drive with your headlights on a lot even during the day?

Is there an aftermarket cover or something I can replace the OEM drive mode **** with? The previous owner used it a lot and mine look like garbage.
Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace at the dealership if there's no cover?

as far as I know, bulbs are not covered under warranty as they are considered wear items. No bulbs are generally. Not even LEDs I dont think.

Wonder why toyota would make you put it in neutral or have that feature? will have to try that out too. you'd think they would make it more intuitive by having you long-press the start button maybe. you'd think having it in neutral with the engine off would be a bit dangerous. set your parking brake if you try this!
