vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the cam- era or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
• When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium light or mercury light etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
●Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
