Default How do I know if I have PCS or adaptive cruise control???

So I just bought a GS430 last week and it has those sensors on the front/rear bumpers of the car... Does that mean I have PCS and adaptive cruise control??? Or is there some other way for me to determine if I have it??? With adaptive cruise control, when my car gets closer to the car in front of me, the car should slow down by itself right? how close do i have to get to the other car before it starts working??? Do these features have to be turned on somehow or are they on by default???

You would have a button on the steering wheel with a car and some lines and it would be on the right side. Also the Lexus emblem would be filled and covered like the hybrid emblem. I attached a pic hope it helps sorry for the kindergarden writing!

Sounds to me like you have Park Assist, not PCS.

I have the PCS on my GS430 and a very easy way to see if any GS has the PCS is take a look at the grill emblem. If it has a plastic cover over the emblem the car has PCS if the emblem is exposed then NO PCS...
