●The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
●The vehicle speed is less than approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
■Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the system is canceled automatically.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 7 mph (12 km/h).
●When the shift lever is in P or R.
■When the outside rear view mirrors have been folded
The side monitor screen can be displayed even if the outside rear view mirrors have
been folded. In this case, there will be a slight difference between the image dis-
played when the outside rear view mirrors are extended and when the outside rear
view mirrors have been folded.
If the side monitor is displayed while the outside rear view mirrors are folded, you
cannot check the area near the front edge of the vehicle as the base of the outside
rear view mirrors will be in the way.

CAUTION
■Conditions which may affect the wide view front & side monitor system
●If the front of the vehicle or the passenger side outside rear view mirror has been
hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed. Have the vehi-
cle 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 wide view front & side 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 washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera
or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
