If you back up too quickly, you
may lose synchronization with the
parallel parking assist.
Leaving the vehicle stopped, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
Be sure to turn the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped.
When the screen changes, keep the steering wheel in its current position
and back up.
When backing up, be careful not to hit any obstacles with the left front corner of
your vehicle. Back the vehicle up slowly.
When the vehicle is parallel with the road or the shoulder, straighten the
steering wheel.
Check your surroundings visually and with the mirrors, then back up using
the distance guide lines as a reference, and stop.
When the vehicle is approximately in th e desired parking location, the parallel
parking assist is complete.
●Parallel parking assist mode information
• There is a possibility that parallel parking guidance may not be given
when backing up at a very slow speed.
• If the back door is opened during parallel parking guidance, the parallel parking assist will be interrupted and canceled. Stop the vehicle, shift the
shift lever out of the R position, and restart the operation from the step

●Canceling parallel parking assist
Select .
●Vehicles with intuitive parking assist
If intuitive parking assist detects an object while you attempt to park in a
parking space on the right, the blac
k and yellow vertical pole could be
obscured by intuitive parking assist display. In this event, turn intuitive park-
ing assist switch off ( →P. 235), and operate the vehicle while checking the
safety of the surrounding area direct visually and with mirror. After the
operation, turn the switch on.
●If the message “Steering wheel turned too far, please return.” is displayed
The steering wheel has been turned too far, and the system cannot func-
tion. Return the steering wheel to its original position.
If the message is displayed before the outline is positioned over the desired
parking space, it is likely that the vehicle is too far away from the shoulder.
Check that there is a gap of approximately 3 ft. (1 m) between your vehicle
and the parked vehicle.

■Lexus parking assist monitor camera
The camera for the parking assist
monitor 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 space 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 guide lines on
the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
