LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■ 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 th e dividing lines of the parking space,
even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle wi dth 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, th ere is a margin of error between the
guide lines on the screen and the ac tual 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 distance/
course on the road.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the vehi-
cle 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.A margin of error

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■ When approaching three-dimensional objects
The estimated course lines target a flat surfaced objects (such as the
road). It is not possible to determ ine the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using th e estimated course lines and dis-
tance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that
extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be ca reful of the fol-
lowing.
● Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle. In
the case shown in the illustration,
the truck appears to be outside of
the estimated course lines and the
vehicle does not look as if it hits the
truck. However, the rear body of
the truck may actu ally cross over
the estimated course lines. In real-
ity if you back up as guided by the
estimated course lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck. Estimated course lines

Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
On the screen, it appears that a
truck is parking at point B. How-
ever, in reality if you back up to
point A, you will hit the truck. On
the screen, it appears that A is
closest and C is furthest away.
However, in reality, the distance to
A and C is the same, and B is far-
ther than A and C.
