Aerodynamics
While aerodynamic styling gives the IS F a signature look, more importantly, it results in a balanced reduction of lift to help produce increased control at high speeds.

Smart Access
By recognizing the unique secure code transmitted from your key fob, the SmartAccess [1] [2] system allows you to unlock and open your vehicle's door and trunk without having to remove your key from your pocket or handbag. The system also activates an entry lighting feature that helps to illuminate your path of entry.  Puddle lamps, door handle, cabin interior and push button start/stop all illuminate sequentially for ease of entry.

[1] The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system.
[2] The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system.  When you insert your key into the ignition switch or bring a SmartAccess fob into the vehicle, the key transmits and electronic code to the vehicle.  The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key or SmartAccess fob matches the code in the vehicle's immobilizer.  Because the transponder chip is embedded in the key or SmartAccess fob, it can be costly to replace.  If you lose a key or SmartAccess fob, your Lexus dealer can help.  Alternatively, you can find a qualified independent locksmith to perform high-secruity key services by consulting your local Yellow Pages or by contacting www.aloa.org. 

Intuitive Parking Assist
The available Intuitive Parking Assist can help the driver navigate the vehicle into tight parking spaces. Ultrasonic sensors located on the front and rear bumpers are designed to detect objects nearby. Audible and visual cues help the driver know when the vehicle is getting closer to the object, including many that may not otherwise be seen.

Exterior Lighting
Bi-Xenon™ High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps are brighter than conventional halogen headlamps, use less energy and last significantly longer.  In addition, an auto-leveling feature helps to ensure that the headlamps remain pointed at the proper angle.  These headlamps also include LED daytime running lights, which use less energy while adding a dramatic air.  For additional safety, the IS F comes with LED brake lights.  Since they illuminate faster than standard bulbs, they can help give the driver behind you more time to respond in emergency situations.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
A millimeter-wave radar sensor allows the available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control [1] to maintain your selected speed. This system also enables you to follow the vehicle in front of you at the same pre-set speed. A car icon on the information display shows the selected following distance.

[1] Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner's Manual for important cautions and instructions.

Sculpted Fenders
Wide front fenders and 19-inch forged alloy wheels [1] lend an aggressive DTM-style racing look to the IS F.

[1] 19-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be sustantially less than 15,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions.

Wheels
These BBS® 19-inch forged aluminum wheels [1] are both stronger and lighter than equivalent cast wheels and help to improve handling and acceleration via reduced unsprung weight and rotational inertia. BBS forged wheels are found on top-level racing cars around the world, including Formula One®.

[1] 19-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires.  Tire life may be substantially less than 15,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions.  

Exhaust
Stainless-steel exhaust manifolds with integrated catalysts help improve durability and minimize the exhaust system's weight.
