Lexus parking assist monitor
The parking assist monitor assists with
the following 2 backing-up operations:
• Perpendicular parking (parking in a garage, etc.)
• Parallel parking (parking at the side of the road, etc.)
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples, and may differ from
the image that is actually displayed on the screen.
The rear view image is displayed when
the shift position is in R and the engine
switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The parking assist monitor system will
be deactivated when the shift lever is in
any position other than R.
When the shift lever is shifted to the R
position and any mode button (such as
“SETUP”) is pressed, the parking assist
monitor is canceled, and the screen is
switched to the mode of the button that
was pressed.
: If equipped
The parking assist monitor assists the driv er by displaying an image of the view
behind the vehicle while backing up, for example while parking.
