when the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.
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 12−volt
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
DIf the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Lexus dealer.
DAs the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
DIf the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
DDo not strongly rub the camera
lens. If the camera lens is
scratched, it can not transmit a
clear image.
DDo 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.
DIf the tire size is changed, the area
displayed on the screen may
change.
DWhen 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.
INFORMATION
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If wa-
ter droplets, snow, or mud adhere to
the lens, rinse with water and wipe
with a soft cloth. If the lens is ex-
tremely dirty, wash it with a mild
cleanser and rinse.

roughly or clean it with a hard
brush or abrasive cleaner. Doing
so may damage the lens and ad-
versely affect the image.

not allow organic solvent, car wax,
window cleaner or glass coating
agent to adhere to it. If this hap-
pens, wipe clean as soon as pos-
sible.
DDo not expose the front camera to
sudden temperature changes
such as by pouring hot water on
the vehicle in cold weather.
DIf the front camera is hit, its posi-
tion and mounting angle may
change. Be sure to have the front
camera checked by your Lexus
dealer.
DBe careful when driving on rough
roads as the surface of the camera
may be damaged by flying stones
or other debris.
INFORMATION
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If wa-

APPENDIX
392
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more satellites, and in some case 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy. While the navigation sys-
tem will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors of up to
300 feet (100 m) can and should be expec-
ted. Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.
U11003LC
When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
