lar attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
CAUTION
Caution when using the Lexus park-
ing assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the

safely and possibly cause an accident.
• Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Do not attach any accessories within
the sensor range.
Even though sensors which are func-
tioning properly continue to detect
obstacles, never use the Lexus park-
ing assist if one more sensor(s) may
be malfunctioning.
NOTICE
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water
or steam to the sensor area.

malfunctioning in the following
cases, have it checked by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional.

cle.
• If your vehicle has been involved in
