NOTICE
Camera sensor (P. 338)
Observe the following to ensure that the LKA system functions correctly.
Keep the windshield clean at all times.
Performance could be affected if the windshield is dirty, or if raindrops,
condensation or ice are adhering to the windshield.
When adjusting the rear view mirror, make sure that it does not block the
camera lens.
Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
Do not install an antenna in front of the camera lens.
If the windshield is fogged up, use the windshield defogger to remove fog
from the windshield.
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on
the images.
Do not place anything on the dashboard.
The camera sensor may recognize the image reflected on the windshield
as lane markers by mistake.
Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
When cleaning the inside of the windshield, be careful not to get any glass
cleaner etc. on the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
For lens repair, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
Do not change the installation position or direction of the camera sensor
or remove it. The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
Do not subject the camera sensor to strong impact or force, and do not dis-
assemble the camera sensor.
Do not attach a sticker or other items to
the windshield near the camera sensor.
Do not install or place anything near the
camera.

In this event, the steering wheel may move from its straight forward position,
but it will return when the system restarts.
The steering wheel is operated for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is stopped or is moving very slowly.
When force is continuously applied for a long time with the steering wheel
turned as far as it will go.
The center position of the steering wheel may change when VGRS is dis-
abled. However, the position will return to normal after VGRS is reacti-
vated.
When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
The steering wheel may move from its straight forward position, but this will
be corrected automatically when driving.
Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC and
VGRS systems
A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the hybrid system is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
EPS, VGRS and DRS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Even after the TRC/VSC systems have been turned off, turning the hybrid
system off and then on again will automatically reactivate the TRC/VSC sys-
tems.
