Be sure to check that there are no
obstacles inside the blue outline.
If there are any obstacles inside the
blue outline, do not use the parallel
parking assist.
When positioning the blue outline
over the parking space, be sure to
position it so that the extended blue
line may not cross the tyre of the
vehicle parked in front of the empty
space.
If the extended line of the blue outline
is crossing the parked vehicle, your
vehicle may be too close. Check that
there is a gap of approximately 1 m (3
ft.) between your vehicle and the
parked vehicle.

If the Lexus parking assist-sensor
detects an object while you attempt to
park in a parking space on the left, the
black and yellow vertical pole could be
obscured by the Lexus parking assist-
sensor display. In this event, turn the
Lexus parking assist-sensor switch off
(For details, refer to “Owner’s Man-
ual”.), and operate the vehicle while
checking the safety of the surrounding
area direct visually and with mirror.
After the operation, turn the switch on.
The steering wheel has been turned too
far, and the system cannot function.
Return the steering wheel to its original
position.
If the message is displayed before the
outline is positioned over the desired
parking space, it is likely that the vehi-
cle is too far away from the shoulder.
Check that there is a gap of approxi-
mately 1 m (3 ft.) between your vehicle
and the parked vehicle.
