When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) 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 possi-
bly 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 for-
ward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides
of the vehicle) 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
malfunction etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer. ●
A beep does not sound when you turn the main switch on. ●
The intuitive parking assist operation disp lay flashes, and a beep sounds when no
obstacles are detected. ●
If the area around a sensor collides wi th something, 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 the sensor malfunctioning.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Things you should know
■ If you notice any symptoms
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause
and the solution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer. Symptom Likely cause Solution
The image is difficult to
see • The vehicle is in a dark
area
•The temperature
around the lens is either
high or low
• The outside tempera-
ture is low
• There are water drop-
lets on the camera
• It is raining or humid
• Foreign matter (mud
etc.) is adhering to the
camera
• There are scratches on
the camera
• Sunlight or headlights
are shining directly into
the camera
• The vehicle is under flu-
orescent lights, sodium
lights, mercury lights
etc. If this happens due to
these causes, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
Back up while visually
checking the vehicle’s
surroundings. (Use the
monitor again once con-
ditions have been
improved.)

Wash with a mild soap if
the dirt is stubborn.
A vertical white streak is
on the screen When a bright spot (such
as sunlight reflecting off
the body of another vehi-

camera, a vertical streak
may be left above and
below the bright spot
(smear effect). If this happens due to
these causes, it does not
indicate a malfunction.

visually and using mirror s, and back up using the distance guide lines
etc. as a reference. ( in “Parking operation”)
When the vehicle is approximately in the desired parking location, par-

■ Parking operation
The following example describes the procedure for pulling into a park-
ing space on the right. Fo r pulling into a parking space on the left, sub-
stitute left for right and vice versa in all steps.
Stop the vehicle in the positi on as described below, and
straighten the steering wheel.
Roughly half a vehicle’s length
Desired parking space
Approx. 3 ft. (1 m)
Parked vehicle
Yo u r v e h i c l e A position in which you are parallel
with the road (or the side of the
road), and in which there is approx-
imately 3 ft. (1 m) of space between
your vehicle and the parked vehi-
cle
A position in which you are half a
vehicle’s length ahead of the
parked vehicle
Shift the shift lever to the “R” position.
Make sure the monitor displays the part behind the rear tires of
the parked vehicle, and select . If the area is not displayed, move the vehicle to forward. STEP 9

wheel in its current position
Curved blue line
Curved blue line meets the cor-
ner here If you back up too quickly, you may
lose synchronization with the par-
allel 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 hi t any obstacles with the right 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 the desired parking location, the
parallel parking assist is complete.STEP 8

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ When approaching three-dimensional objects
The estimated course lines target a fl at surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course lines and dis-
tance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that
extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the fol-
lowing.
● Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown in the illustration,
the truck appears to be outside of
the estimated course 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 estimated course lines. In real-
ity if you back up as guided by the
estimated course lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck. Estimated course lines

Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
On the screen, it appears that a
truck is parking at point B. How-
ever, in reality if you back up to
point A, you will hit the truck. On
the screen, it appears that A is
closest and C is furthest away.
However, in reality, the distance to
A and C is the same, and B is far-
ther than A and C.

■
When using the wide view front & side monitor
Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the steering
wheel further in the direction the vehicle is turning until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If the steering wh eel is turned to full lock, the vehicle will
turn in the smallest possible turning circle, and may collide with the obstacle. The screen’s guide lines are designed for level
surfaces (road surface etc.) or flat walls etc.
When driving near the obstacle, the obstacle
may be displayed as outside the projected
course line, and it may seem that there is no
danger of a collision, however any sections
protruding from the wall may project over the
course line and the vehicle may actually col-
lide with the obstacle.
In cases such as this were the projected
course line passes clos e to obstacles, always
visually check the surroundings for safety.
