When using the rear view monitor system, observe the following precautions to
avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries: ●
Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.●
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.●
Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed image
may become faint or dark, and moving imag es will be distorted, or not entirely
visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up, be sure to check
behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the mirrors before proceeding.●
Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are ancillary
lines.●
The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if the steering wheel is
turned.●

tances.●

Rear view monitor system (vehicles with the Lexus Display Audio system) 
 : If equippedThe rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of
the view behind the vehicle while re versing. The image is displayed in
reverse on the screen. This allows the image to appear in the same manner
as that of the rear view mirror.
The rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in the R
position. If the shift lever is shifted out of
R, the screen returns to the pre-
vious one.

In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, even
when the system is functioning correctly: ●
The vehicle is in a dark area, such as at
night. ●
The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low. ●
Water droplets are on the camera lens
or humidity is high, such as when it
rains. ●

directly into the camera lens. ●
A bright object such as a white wall is
reflected in the mirror surface over the

off the vehicle body, is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect* characteristic to
the camera may occur.

occurs when a bright light is picked up by
the camera; when transmitted by the
