When using the Lexus parking assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely and
possibly cause an accident.
Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the
vehicle’s speed.
Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
NOTICE
When using Lexus parking assist-sensor
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The Lexus parking assist-sensor operation display flashes, and a buzzer
sounds when no obstacles are detected.
If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to strong
impact.
If the bumper collides with something.
If the display shows continuously without beeping, except when the buzzer
mute switch has been turned on.
If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even if there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.

Area displayed on screen
The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear area
of the vehicle.
The image on the rear view mon-
itor system screen can be
adjusted.
(P. 368)
• The area displayed on the screen
may vary according to vehicle
orientation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be displayed.
• The camera uses a special lens.
The distance of the image that
appears on the screen differs from
the actual distance.
• Items which are located higher
than the camera may not be dis-
played on the monitor.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
backlit license plate, it may inter-
fere with the display.

When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of
the load, there is a margin of
error between the fixation
guide lines on the screen and
the actual distance/course on
the road.
When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of
three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the distance guide
lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends out-
ward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.
Vehicle width guide lines
Visually check the surround-
ings and the area behind the
vehicle. In the case shown in
the illustration, the truck
appears to be outside of the
vehicle width guide lines and
the vehicle does not look as if
it hits the truck. However, the
rear body of the truck may
actually cross over the vehicle
width guide lines. In reality if
you back up as guided by the
vehicle width guide lines, the
vehicle may hit the truck.

When using the rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. When backing up, be sure to check visually behind
and all around the vehicle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. The
image and the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may differ
from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle
speed.
The instructions given are only guide lines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic
conditions, road surface conditions, vehicle condition, etc. when parking. It is
necessary to be fully aware of this before using the rear view monitor system.
When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it.
Do not use the rear view monitor system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint.
The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become
unable to see the image on the screen. Be sure to check direct visually and
with the mirrors all around the vehicle before proceeding.
If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the fixed guide lines displayed on
the screen may change.
The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians
that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual
distances.
