■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
■When the mirrors are fogged up
Turn on the mirror heaters to defog the mirrors. (P. 404)
■Linked mirror function when reversing
The outside rear view mirrors will automa tically angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However, this function will
not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral position (between “L” and
“R”).
■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. ( P. 7 9 )
■Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirr or is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view mir-
ror to reduce reflected light.

CAUTION
■When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
●Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
●Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
■When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your hand
caught by the moving mirror.
■When the mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces , as they can become very hot and burn
you.
NOTICE
■If ice should jam the mirror
Do not operate the control or scrape the mi rror face. Use a spray de-icer to free the
mirror.

GX460_U.S.A. (OM60E69U)
CAUTION
■When driving the vehicle
●If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and check
that the back door is closed.
Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsiness and an acci-
dent, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus deal er immediately.
●Do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to D while the vehicle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the engine
from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is selected.
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off while
driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to
these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way: P. 6 8 6
●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a
steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effec-
tiveness. ( P. 1 8 7 )
●Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside
rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents, resulting
in death or serious injury.

2-3. Operating the lights and windshield wipers
GX460_U.S.A. (OM60E69U)
●In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the sur-
rounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestrians to the
high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high beam on or off
manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The inside rear view mirror or camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or
fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are chang-
ing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repe atedly driving ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel tracks etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mir- ror.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The Automatic High Beam indicator is flashing.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched between in an abnormal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or distress to
other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

■If the Automatic High Beam indicator flashes...
It may indicate a malfunction in th e system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Temporary lowering sensor sensitivity
The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporarily lowered.
To lower the sensitivity, push and hold the “AUTO” button on the inside rear view
mirror for 15 to 20 seconds, and release. The indicator light on the inside rear view
mirror will flash to indicate that the sensitivity has been lowered.
When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off, the sensitivity will be
returned to its normal level.
■Customization that can be conf igured at your Lexus dealer
The Automatic High Beam can be turned off.

NOTICE
■Camera sensor
●Do not touch the camera sensor.
●Do not subject the inside rear view mirror or the camera sensor to a strong
impact.
●Do not disassemble the camera sensor.
●Do not spill liquid onto the inside rear view mirror or the camera sensor.
●Do not apply window tinting or stickers to the camera sensor or the area of wind-
shield near the camera sensor.
●Do not place items on the dashboard. There is a possibility that the camera sensor
will mistake items reflected in the windshield for streetlights, the headlights of
other vehicles, etc.
●Do not install a parking tag or any other accessories near or around the inside
rear view mirror and the camera sensor.
●Do not overload the vehicle.
●Do not modify the vehicle.
●Do not replace windshield wi th a non-genuine windshield.

NOTICE
■Camera sensor
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
LDA performance may deteriorate due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to stro ng impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.
●Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor or remove it. The
direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may cause the upper
part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on the images. In
such a case, use the windshield defogger to provide warm, dry air to the wind-
shield.
●Do not place anything on the dashboard.
The camera sensor may recognize the image reflected on the windshield as lane
markings by mistake.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
●Do not attach stickers or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
●Adjust the inside rear view mirror correctly so that it does not interfere with the
camera sensor.
Observe the following to ensure that the
LDA system functions correctly.

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 simila r image to the one on the inside rear
view mirror.
The rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in the R
position.
If the shift lever is shifted out of
R, the screen returns to the pre-
vious one.
