The Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) 

LSS Background

Lexus and parent company Toyota originally launched LSS+ on the 2016 Lexus RX redesign, and the company claims that the technology improves safety in three key areas: avoiding frontal Carshes, maintaining lane position, and reducing the risk of accidents at night. In other words, it was designed to assist drivers stay in charge and prevent collisions under normal conditions.

Over the years that followed, the premium manufacturer made this suite of ADAS standard on additional products across its model range, and LSS+ evolved into more advanced iterations with more capabilities. The LSS+ 3.0 update is the latest iteration of the technology, which follows on from previous iterations including 2.0 and 2.5.

LSS History

The ADAS of earlier versions of LSS+ need to be described before the newest version can be grasped. Every step paves the path towards LSS+ 3.0. Broadly speaking, LSS+ consists of four different systems:

• Forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection
• Lane-departure warning
• Automatic high-beam headlights
• Adaptive cruise control

LSS+ 2.0 and 2.5 add two primary ADAS to the base LSS+ system:

• Traffic-sign recognition
• Lane-centering assistance

Specific features at each level, as outlined in previous J.D. Power coverage, are as follows:

LSS+

• Adaptive cruise control (works at speeds over 25 mph)
• Forward-collision warning
• Pedestrian detection
• Automatic emergency braking
• Lane-departure warning
• Lane-keeping assistance
• Automatic high-beam headlights

LSS+ 2.0

• Upgraded radar and camera units
• All-speed adaptive cruise control (including stop-and-go capability)
• Cyclist detection during daytime
• Pedestrian detection during daytime and in low-light conditions
• Preceding vehicle detection during daytime and in low-light conditions
• Lane-centering assistance (gives LSS+ 2.0 Level 2 hands-on driving-assist technology)
• Traffic-sign recognition (reads road signs and displays the data for the driver)

LSS+ 2.5

• Improved adaptive cruise control (more quickly overtakes slower vehicles when the driver changes lanes to go around them, the process now beginning when the driver signals the lane change)
• Improved lane and road edge recognition capability
• Intersection turn assistance (identifies when it is unsafe to make a left turn across traffic or when pedestrians are in a crosswalk and can warn the driver or brake the vehicle to prevent a collision)
• Automatic emergency steering (when the driver makes a sudden steering change, such as to avoid an object or correct a potential lane departure, this evasive steering-assistance technology helps to keep the vehicle under control)

What Is Included In LSS 3.0

The LSS+ 3.0 system improves upon the previous version, LSS+ 2.5, in a number of ways. Upon the release of the revamped 2022 Lexus NX crossover SUV came the 3.0 iteration. Below are some of the system’s finest features:

• Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist—This system will help you avoid collisions in your lane of traffic by assisting with braking and steering as you make evasive maneuvers
• Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection Braking—If you turn left in front of approaching traffic, this system will warn you and automatically apply the brakes
• Right & Left Turn Oncoming Pedestrian Detection & Braking—If you turn left or right in front of a pedestrian or cyclist, this system will warn you and automatically apply the brakes
• Oncoming Vehicle Detection—This feature augments the existing pre-collision system, warning you and automatically applying the brakes when a possible frontal collision is detected
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management—Although adaptive cruise control is not new, this feature’s ability to maintain constant speed in corners is a new addition to this feature

Lexus Models That Include The LSS 3.0

LSS+ 3.0 is available on the 2022 Lexus NX, NX Hybrid, NX Hybrid+, and the planned 2023 Lexus RX. It’s possible that LSS+ will become available for further 2022 Lexus cars, but for now, here’s a rundown of what’s on offer.

• LSS+: GX, LC, LC Hybrid, LC Convertible, RC, RC F
• LSS+ 2.0: LS, RX, RX Hybrid
• LSS+ 2.5: ES, ES Hybrid, IS, LS Hybrid, LX, UX Hybrid
