●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. 239), 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.

●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
guidelines 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 guidelines 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 guide lines on the screen and
the actual distance/course on the
road.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The estimated course lines target a flat 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 distance guide lines. When
approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the
flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.
●Estimated course 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 estimated course lines
and the vehicle does not look as if
it will hits the truck. However, the
rear body of the truck may actu-
ally cross over the estimated
course lines. In reality if you back
up as guided by the estimated
course lines, the vehicle may hit
the truck.
