REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by
displaying an image of the view behind the vehicle while
backing up. The image is displayed in reverse on the
screen. This allows the image to appear in the same
manner as that of the 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 372.
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.

Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s
surroundings, as the displayed image may become
faint or dark, and moving ima ges will be distorted or
not entirely visible when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to check behind and
all around the vehicle visually and with mirror before
proceeding.AREA DISPLAYED ON SCREEN
