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.)

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.

When parking, be sure to check that
the parking space will accommodate
your vehicle before maneuvering into

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

If the Lexus parking assist-sensor
detects an object while you attempt to
park in a parking space on the left, the
black and yellow vertical pole could be
obscured by the Lexus parking assist
display. In this event, turn the Lexus
parking assist-sensor off (P.311), and
operate the vehicle while checking the
safety of the surrounding area both
directly and using the mirrors. After the
operation, turn the switch on.
The steering wheel has been turned too
far, and the system cannot function.
Return the steering wheel to its original
position.
If the message is displayed before the
outline is positioned over the desired

cle is too far away from the shoulder.
Check that there is a gap of approxi-
mately 3 ft. (1 m) between your vehicle
and the parked vehicle.
