AUDIO
248Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.

A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality
and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is
recommended.)
Use high− quality cassettes:
 Low −quality cassette tapes can cause many problems,
including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto− reversing. They can also get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.
 Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or
if its label is peeling off.
 Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening
to it, especially if it is hot outside.
 Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.
 Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than
100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these
cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the
cassette player. Caring for your CD player and CDs

Your CD player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CDs
only.
 Extremely high temperature can keep your CD player from
working. On hot days, use air conditioning to cool the
vehicle interior before you listen to a CD.
 Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your CD player
skip.
 If moisture gets into your CD player, you may not hear any
sound even though your CD player appears to be working.
Remove the CD from the player and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD players use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside
the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly.

STARTING AND DRIVING
274In the following conditions, the image may not be clear or the
view of the road ahead may not be shown at all.

Driving on hills with many up and down slopes
 Driving on road with curves
 In severe weather conditions such as rain, fog or snow
 Strong near −infrared light emission, such as the light
coming from a vehicle running in the opposite lane, enters
the near− infrared camera (night view camera).
 An object or clothing of a pedestrian is made of a certain kind
of material (ex. leather).
 The windshield or the lens of the near −infrared floodlight
(night view projector) is dirty. (Always keep the windshield
and the lens clean.)
 Double vision of image reduces clarity in some situation.
 The top of the windshield fogs up.
If the top of the windshield fogs up, the glass in front of the lens
of the camera will also fog up, resulting in deterioration of the
system performance. Defog the windshield by pushing the
windshield air flow button on the air conditioning.
If you notice the inner lens of the near −infrared camera (night
view camera) is dirty, have it inspected at your Lexus dealer.
You cannot use this system to read a road sign or signboard.
If the outside temperature is low, the display may darken or it
may take time to display the image with the system on. The near
−infrared floodlight (night view projector) is installed
on the bumper. If the bumper is deformed in a collision, etc.,
the performance of the system will be affected. Have it
repaired or replaced at Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
The nearinfrared floodlight (night view projector)
irradiates strong energy not visible to the eyes. Do not
stare at the floodlight at close range for a long time.
Your eyes could be seriously injured.
NOTICE
 Do not put anything in front of the headup display
(night view display) shutter. It may hinder the
opening or closing of the shutter, resulting in a
malfunction of the system.
 Do not let drinks spill on the headup display. This
may cause a malfunction of the system.
 If an object gets caught in the shutter and it does not
close securely, it may cause a malfunction of the
system. Open the shutter with your hand and remove
the object. The shutter will function properly after
you turn the ignition off and then on.
