LEXUS PARKING ASSIST
MONITOR
The parking assist monitor assists the
driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while back-
ing up, for example while parking.
The parking assist monitor assists
with the following 2 backing-up op-
erations:
(1) Perpendicular parking (parking in
a garage, etc.)
(2) Parallel parking (parking at the
side of the road, etc.)
INFORMATION
The screen illustrations used in this
text are intended as examples, and
may differ from the image that is
actually displayed on the screen.
*: If equipped
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
The parking assist monitor is a sup-
plemental device intended to assist
the driver when backing up. When
backing up, be sure to visually check
all around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before pro-
ceeding. If you do not, you may hit
another vehicle, and could possibly
cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following pre-
cautions when using the parking as-
sist monitor.
CAUTION
Never depend on the parking assist
monitor 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.
If you seem likely to hit nearby vehi-
cles, obstacles, people or mount the
shoulder, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle, then disable the
assist system by selecting on
the screen to cancel the system.

CAUTION
The instructions given are only guide-
lines. When and how much to turn the
steering wheel will vary according to
traffic conditions, road surface condi-
tions, vehicle condition, etc. when
parking. It is necessary to be fully
aware of this before using the parking
assist system.
When parking, be sure to check that
the parking space will accommodate
your vehicle before maneuvering into
it.
Do not use the parking assist monitor
in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in
snow
• When using tyre chains
• When the trunk is not closed com-
pletely
• 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 visually check
all around the vehicle both directly
and using the mirrors before proceed-
ing.
If the tyre sizes are changed, the posi-
tion of the guide lines displayed on
the screen may change.
The camera uses a special lens. The
distances between objects and pedes-
trians that appear in the image dis-
played on the screen will differ from
the actual distances. (P.305)
