REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
272
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, shift the shift lever to “R” (auto-
matic transmission) or reverse (manual
transmission) when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
If you move the shift lever out of the “R”
(automatic transmission) or reverse
(manual transmission), the screen returns
to the previous screen. Operating another
function of the navigation system will dis-
play another screen.
Vehicles with Lexus parking assist−sen-
sor — when the Lexus parking assist −
sensors are turned on and an obstacle is
detected in front of or behind your ve-
hicle, a warning appears on the right top
of the rear view monitor. For details, see
“Lexus parking assist −sensor” on page
278.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
DNever 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.
DNever 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 distance. 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.
DDo not use the system when the
trunk is not completely closed.
DIf 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.
DAs the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
DIf the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
