LDA (Lane Departure Alert)∗
∗: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markings, this
system recognizes the lanes using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver
when the vehicle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts
the driver using rapid beeping and indications on the multi-information
display.
■Turning the LDA system on
The system will be activated depending on the recognizability of
lane markings and on the vehicle speed.
Press the “LDA” switch to acti-
vate the system.
The “LDA” indicator will come
on.
Press the switch again to turn
the LDA system off.

■When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available for a while after driving has started. In such
cases, turn the LDA system off and turn it on again after normal temperature
returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and the temperature around
the camera sensor becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to
operate.
■Warning lights and messages for LDA
Warning lights and messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. (→P. 6 9 8 )
CAUTION
■Before using the LDA system
This system provides information to the dr iver in accordance with the road geome-
try and the driving conditions. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, correct
the driving path while driving appropriately and be responsible for your own safety.
This system operates by using the camera to identify lane markers when the LDA
switch is on and the vehicle is being driven at the system operating speed.
Operation may be temporarily suspended if the camera cannot recognize the lane
markers or if the system cannot operate due to the road environment or driving
conditions. Also, since an alarm may sound unnecessarily if the lane markers cannot
be correctly identified, make sure to drive responsibly even while the system is
operating.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the driver will be alerted by a buzzer and a dis-
play, and LDA operation will be temporarily suspended. However, this does not
present a problem to normal driving.
If the alert is displayed even after restarting the engine, have your vehicle inspected
by your Lexus dealer.

Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor assists the driver by displaying an image of the area
behind the vehicle while reversing. The image is displayed in reverse on the
screen. This reversed image is a similar image to the one on the inside rear
view mirror.
The rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in the R

R, the screen returns to the pre-
vious one.

see images on the screen even when the sys-
tem is functioning correctly:
●The vehicle is in a dark area, such as at
night.

CAUTION
■Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle
may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
●Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it cannot
transmit a clear image.
●Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to
the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
●The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.
●Situations unsuitable for rear view monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow.
• When using tire chains or emergency tires.
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
●When traveling on a sloping road, the area displayed on the screen may change.
●If the tires are changed, the area displayed on the screen may change.
●When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera
or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
