LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
When using the rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a suppleme ntal 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 rear view monitor system 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. ●
When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it. ●
Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.●
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 vehicl e before proceeding.●
The camera uses a special lens. The di stances between objects and pedestrians
that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (  P. 292)

How to use the camera ●
The rear view monitor system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera
may change.
• As the camera has a water proof constr uction, do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
• Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it cannot
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the cam-
era or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.●
Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
