If the front of the vehicle or the passenger side outside rear view mirror is hit, the
camera’s position and mounting angle may 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 tr ansmit 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 stra ight, such as curves or slopes.●
If the tires are changed, th e position of the guide li nes displayed on the screen
may be incorrect. When changing the tires, consult your Lexus dealer. ●

■
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 possi ble 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 ne ar 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 collide with the obstacle.
In cases such as this were the projected
course line passes close to obstacles, always
visually check the su rroundings for safety.
