■Conditions which may affect the Multi-terrain Monitor system
●If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror 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 constr uction, do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.

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 mo ving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.
●Situations unsuitable for Multi-terrain Monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains
●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.
