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.

Conditions which may affect the wide view front & side monitor system ●
If the front of the vehicle or the passenger side outside rear view mirror is hit, the
camera’s position and mounting angle ma y change. Contact your Lexus dealer.●
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally. ●
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild cleanser and rinse. ●
The displayed image may be darker and mo ving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold. ●
Situations unsuitable for wide view front & side monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow.
• When using tire chains or emergency tires.
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes. ●
If the tires are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen
may be incorrect. When changing the tires, consult your Lexus dealer. ●
Depending on the circumstances of the vehicle (number of passengers, amount
of luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may
change. Be sure to check visually behind and all around the vehicle before pro-
ceeding. ●
When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera
or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.

Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious
injury. ●
Use tires of the size specified for your vehicle. ●
Maintain the recommended level of tire inflation pressure. ●
Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of snow tires
being used. ●
Snow tires should be installed on all wheels.■
Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury. ●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used or
30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower. ●
Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes. ●

tire is low. If a tire goes flat, even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire,
the tire pressure warning light does not turn off. Replace the spare tire with the
repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning
light will turn off after a few minutes. ■

If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are used.●
If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning computer. ●
If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm 2
or bar) or higher.
The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following conditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●
If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies are nearby. ●
If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle. ●
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed. ●
If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the wheels or
wheel housings. ●
If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used. (Even if you use Lexus wheels, the tire
