●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular atten-
tion 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 projecting outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
●The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection distance may shorten, or detect ion may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obst acle detection and display. Even at slow
speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sensor’s detection
areas before the display is shown and the buzzer sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to th e volume of audio system or air flow noise
of the air conditioning system.

CAUTION
■When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely and possibly
cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor
at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving forward or
reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the vehi-
cle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a sensor mal-
function etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
●A buzzer does not sound when you turn the intuitive parking assist on.
●The intuitive parking assist operation display flashes, and a buzzer sounds when no
obstacles are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides with so mething, or is subjected to strong impact.
●If the bumper collides with something.
●If the display shows continuously without a beep.
●If a display error occurs, first check the sensor.
If the error occurs even if there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is likely that the
sensor is malfunctioning.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in th e sensor malfunctioning.

Rear view monitor system
The rear view image is displayed when
the shift position is in R and the engine
switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The rear view monitor system will be
deactivated when the shift lever is in any
position other than R.
When the shift lever is shifted to the R
position and any mode button (such as
“SETUP”) is pressed, the rear view mon-
itor system is cancele
d, and the screen is
switched to the mode of the button that
was pressed.
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying guide lines and
an image of the view behind the vehi cle while backing up, for example while
parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples, and may dif-
fer from the image that is actually displayed on the screen.

■Screen description
The rear view monitor system screen will be displayed if the shift lever is
shifted to R while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicle width extension guide line
The line indicates a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up.
The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
These lines indicate the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line (red)
The line shows distance behind the vehicle, a point approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) from
the edge of the bumper.
Distance guide line (blue)
The line shows distance behind the vehicle,
a point approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from the
edge of the bumper.
Intuitive parking assist display (if equipped)
If an obstacle is detected wh ile the intuitive parking assist is on, a display is shown at
the top right corner of the screen.

■Area displayed on screen
The rear view monitor system dis-
plays an image of the view from the
bumper of the rear area of the vehi-
cle.
The image on the rear view monitor
system screen can be adjusted, refer
to the “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S
MANUAL” or “NAVIGATION
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
• The area displayed on the screenmay vary according to vehicle orien-
tation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be displayed.
• The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears
on the screen differs from the actual
distance.
• Items which are located higher than
the camera may not be displayed on
the monitor.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
backlit license plate, it may interfere
with the display.

■Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view moni-
tor system is located above the
license plate.
●Using the camera
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water
droplets, snow or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a
soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and
rinse.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width extension guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width extension guide lines and the left and
right dividing lines of the parking sp
ace may not be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of
the following situations, there is a margin of error between the fixation guide
lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.

●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehicle
than the actual distance. Because
of this, objects will appear to be
farther away than they actually
are. In the same way, there will be
a margin of error between the
guide lines and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be closer than they
actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error
between the guide lines and the
actual distance/course on the
road.

●When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle sags
due to the number of passengers
or the distribution of the load,
there is a margin of error between
the fixation guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance/
course on the road.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed
according to flat surfaced objects (such
as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using the di stance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends ou tward (such as the flatbed of a truck),
be careful of the following.
●Vehicle width extension guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown in the illustra-
tion, the truck appears to be out-
side of the vehicle width
extension guide lines and the
vehicle does not look as if it hits
the truck. However, the rear body
of the truck may actually cross
over the vehicle width extension
guide lines. In reality if you back
up as guided by the vehicle width
extension guide lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck.
