Rear view monitor system (if equipped)
■Displayed area
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of
the view behind the vehicle while reversing. 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.
Rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in “R”.
If you move the lever out of “R”,
the screen returns to the previ-
ous one.
The area covered by the camera is limited.
Objects which are close to either corner of
the bumper or under the bumper cannot be
seen on the screen.
The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to vehicle orientation or road con-
ditions.

●Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.
●Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-
tances.

change. Contact your Lexus dealer.
●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.

ated forward and an image con-
verted from its irradiated light is
shown on the head-up display.
The image is shown ranging
from the tip of the low beam to
the high beam.

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 run-
ning in the opposite lane, enters the near-infrared camera.
●An object or clothing of a pedestrian is made of a certain kind of material (ex.

CAUTION
■While driving
●This system should be used as a supplemental aid to help you see objects. Never
depend on this system only. Be sure to view objects with your own eyes.
●This system is designed to help you see objects better when driving in a flat area
with few curves in darkness. Use of this function in an area with many curves or
slopes or in a well-lit area could cause an accident.
■Conditions which may affect the Lexus night view system
●If the front bumper is deformed in a collision, etc., the performance of the near-
infrared floodlight will be affected. Have it repaired or replaced by your Lexus
dealer.
●If you notice the inner lens of the near-infrared camera is dirty, have it inspected
by your Lexus dealer.
●If the top of the windshield fogs up, the lens of the near-infrared camera will also
fog up, resulting in deterioration of the system performance. Defog the wind-
shield by pushing the windshield air flow button on the air conditioning.
●If the outside temperature is low, the head-up display may darken or it may take
time to display the image with the system on.
●The automatic light control sensor may not function properly if an object is placed
on the sensor, or anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
■To a v o i d i n j u r y
The near-infrared floodlight irradiates stro ng energy nut visible to the eyes. Do not
stare at the floodlight at close range for a long time.
