NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:
DBe careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
DDo not put anything other than an
appropriate discs into the CD
changer or DVD changer.
DThe use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio/video system which you are lis-
tening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
DRadio reception
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio — it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio: FM
Fading and drifting stations — Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 25 miles
(40 km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi−
path — FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping — If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.

(h) Rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogging
To turn the electric rear window and
outside rear view mirror defogger on,
push the button above.
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch must
be in IGNITION ON mode.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window and the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the surface.
Keep your hands off the mirror faces when
the system is on.
The indicator light is on when the defogger
is operating.
CAUTION
When the outside rear view mirror de-
foggers are on, do not touch the out-
side surface of the rear view mirror as
it can become very hot and burn you.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after 15 to 270 minutes. The operation
time changes according to the ambient
temperature and vehicle speed.
If further defrosting or defogging is de-
sired, simply actuate the switch again.
When the surface has cleared, push the
button once again to turn the defogger off.
Continuous use may cause the battery to
discharge, especially during stop−and− go
driving. The defogger is not designed to
dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily
coated with ice, use a spray de −icer before
operating the system.
NOTICE
DWhen cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater wires
or connectors.
DTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
when the engine is not running.

WIDE VIEW FRONT & SIDE MONITOR
314
This system can display the wide view
front monitor and the side monitor sepa-
rately or at the same time.
The wide view front monitor uses a super−
wide angle lens to display on screen the
areas to the left and right of the vehicle and
the blind spots to the front of the vehicle.
This system helps the driver check for ap-
proaching cars, bicycles and pedestrians
when at intersections with poor visibility.
The side monitor uses a camera installed
in the passenger ’s side outside rear view
mirror to display on screen the area to the
front− right of the vehicle, helping the driver
check this area.
CAUTION
DWhen using the wide view front &
side monitor system, observe
these precautions to avoid an acci-
dent that could result in death or
serious injuries.
DNever depend solely on the mon-
itor system.
DAlways check visually to confirm
your intended path is clear.
DDepicted distances between ob-
jects and flat surfaces differ from
actual distances.
DDo not use the system if the hood
or the front passenger ’s door is
not completely closed.
DThe displayed image may be darker
and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
DDo not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
DOn icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
DWhen using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
DOn roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or slo-
pes.
NOTICE
D If the front of the vehicle or the pas-
senger side outside rear view mir-
ror is hit, the camera’s position
and mounting angle may change.
Contact your Lexus dealer.
D As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, dis-
assemble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
D If the temperature changes rapid-
ly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not oper-
ate normally.
D Do not strongly rub the camera
lens. If the camera lens is
scratched, it can not transmit a
clear image.
D Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible.
D When replacing the tires, please
consult your Lexus dealer. If you
replace the tires, the area dis-
played on the screen may change.
D Even if an obstacle is no longer
visible on the side monitor, do not
turn the steering wheel further in
the direction the vehicle is turning
until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If the
steering wheel is turned to full
lock, the vehicle will turn in the
smallest possible turning circle,
and may collide with the obstacle.
D When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
