Rear view monitor display (Vehicles with rear
view monitor system)
G31066
On vehicles equipped with rear view monitor system, a
warning appears on the right top of the rear view monitor
in the following conditions.
When the selector lever is put in “R” and the rear view
monitor is turned on.
When the intuitive parking assist main switch is turned on
and any sensor detects an obstacle.
Although “Display Off” is selected in the intuitive parking assist
setting screen, the warning appears on the right top of the rear
view monitor.
Dual sensors
G31067

1
About 50 cm (1.5 ft.) to about 100 cm (3.0 ft.)
2
About 37.5 cm (1.1 ft.) to about 50 cm (1.5 ft.)
3
About 25 cm (0.8 ft.) to about 37.5 cm (1.1 ft.)
4
Less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.)
When the intuitive parking assist determines that the
collision will be unavoidable:
The indicator will flash yellow depending on the distance to the
obstacle. When the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.), the yellow indicator
will turn red.
When the intuitive parking assist determines that the
collision will be avoided by changing the steering:
The indicator will flash yellow depending on the distance to the
vehicle. The steering guide symbol and arrow do not appear.

STARTING AND DRIVING
383 When the intuitive parking assist determines that the
collision will be avoided with the present steering angle:
The indicator will come on in green.
However, if the sensors detect and determine an obstacle at
an angle to the front of the vehicle, the indicator will not come
on.
Beeps (except for avoidable collisions at the present
steering angle):
As distance to the obstacle gets closer, the interval of the
intermittent sound gets shorter, and then finally to a continuous
sound when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.).
CAUTION
When an obstacle is detected within about 25 cm (0.8
ft.) from the vehicle, the dual sensors will change the
determination to an unavoidable collision.
With long obstacles such as walls, the decision of the
sensor may change as the obstacle gets closer; from
certain avoidance to avoidance if steering is
changed; from certain avoidance to unavoidable
collision; and there are also times when the decision
will be changed from avoidance if steering is
changed, to certain collision.
When you move your vehicle, be sure to confirm a safe
distance around your vehicle with your eyes and drive
slowly, or an accident or injury may result.

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by
displaying an image of the rear of the vehicle while
backing up. The displayed image on the screen is a
horizontally reversed mirror image of the inside rear view
mirror.
To display the rear view image on the screen, place the
selector lever in the “R” position when the engine switch
is selected in “IG−ON” mode.
If you move the selector lever out of the “R” position, the screen
returns to the previous screen. Operating another function of
the navigation system will display another screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device
intended to assist back up. When backing up, be sure to check
behind and all around the vehicle visually.
Vehicles with intuitive parking assist—
When the intuitive parking assist is turned on and an obstacle
is detected in front or rear of your vehicle, a warning appears
on the right top of the rear view monitor. For details, see
“Intuitive parking assist” on page 365.

CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view monitor system
entirely when backing up. Always make sure your
intended path is clear.
Use caution just as you would when backing up any
vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at the screen. The
image on the screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances between objects and
flat surfaces will differ from actual distances. If you
back up while looking only at the screen, you may hit
a vehicle, a person or an object. When backing up, be
sure to check behind and all around the vehicle
visually and with mirrors before proceeding.
Do not use the system when the trunk is not
completely closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and
mounting angle of the camera may change. Be sure
to have the camera’s position and mounting angle
checked at your Lexus dealer.
If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot
water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit
a clear image. If water droplets, snow, or mud adhere
to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth.
If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
Use your own eyes to assure rearward clearance, as
the displayed image may become faint or darker, and
moving images will be distorted or not entirely visible
when outside temperature is cold. When backing up,
be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle
visually and with mirror before proceeding.
