Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"when the passenger side radiant heat is on, it makes a toxic smell that smells like plastic or glue melting. it has happened in our rz and also in a loaner rz (vin [xxx] ). lexus has done nothing that we are aware of to ensure that this smell is not affecting passenger side airbags or the integrity of the cars. they’re also hiding in their notes that they have experienced the smell. i took the service manager jon howell on a drive in both cars and he smelled the melting smell and agreed he understood why i was describing it as melted hot glue or plastic. however, those drives are not documented in the service notes. i am concerned this is a flaw in the car for which the impact of safety is unknown. further testing must be done to ensure these cars are safe after the radiant heat is used and the smell has occurred. the smell is constant any and all times the radiant heat is engaged. we have experienced the smell at least ten times in our car. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)"
