When using the Lexus parking assist monitor system
The parking assist monitor system is a supp lemental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. When backing up, be sure to check visually behind and all
around the vehicle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries. ●
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 vehicles, obstacles, people or mount the shoulder,
depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, then disable the assist system by
touch
on the screen to cancel the system.●
The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic con-
ditions, road surface conditions, vehicle co ndition, etc. when parking. It is neces-
sary to be fully aware of this before using the parking assist system. ●
When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it. ●
Do not use the Lexus parking assist monitor system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes. ●
In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to
see the image on the screen. Be sure to check direct visually and with the mirrors
all around the vehicle before proceeding.

If the tire sizes are changed, the positi on of the guide lines displayed on the

The camera uses a special lens. The di stances between obje cts and pedestrians
that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (  P. 2 9 0 )■
When using the perpendicular parking assist screen
Estimated course line display mode: If the steering wheel is straight and the vehicle
width extension guide lines and the estimated course lines are not in alignment,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. ■
When using the parallel parking assist screen ●
Do not use the system if the display is incorrect due to an uneven (curvy/hilly)
road or a non-straight road. ●
Make sure to operate the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped. ●
Be sure to check that there are no obstacles inside the blue outline.
If there are any obstacles inside the blue outline, do not use the parallel parking
assist. ●
When positioning the blue outline over the parking space, be sure to position it so
that the extended blue line may not cross the tire of the vehicle parked in front of
the empty space. ●
If the extended line of the blue outline may be crossing the parked vehicle, your
vehicle is too close. Check that there is a gap of approximately 3 ft. (1 m) between
your vehicle and the parked vehicle.
