CAUTION
■When using the Lexus parking assist monitor system
The parking assist monitor is a supplemental
device intended to assist the driver when
backing up. When backing up, be sure to chec k visually behind and all around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●Never depend on the parking assist monitor entirely when backing up. The image
and the position of the guide lines displaye d on the screen may differ from the actual
state.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles, people or mount the shoulder,
depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, then disable the assist system by select on the screen to cancel the system.
●The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic condi-
tions, road surface conditions, vehicle condit ion, etc. when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before using the parking assist system.
●When parking, be sure to check that the par king space will accommodate your vehi-
cle before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the parking assist monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
●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 dire ct visually and with the mirrors all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen
may change.
●The camera uses a special lens. The dist ances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distances.

CAUTION
■When using the wide view front & side monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●When attempting to use the side camera while the door mirror is folded in, the base
of the door mirror is displayed on the screen and the area in front of the vehicle can-
not be observed. The image displayed on the screen differs depending on the posi-
tion of the door mirror.
●The field of view of the camera is limited. Do not rely solely upon the wide view front &
side monitor.
As with unequipped vehicles, drive carefully while directly confirming the safety of
your surroundings.
●Always check visually to confirm your intended path is clear.
●The camera uses a special lens. The dist ances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the scre en will differ from the actual distances.
●When the monitor is in front view enlarged display mode, even if obstacles in the
image from the side monitor have disappeared, do not turn the steering wheel any
further until the vehicle has passed the obstacle. By turning the steering wheel further,
the vehicle may make a tight turn, causing the vehicle to make contact with the obsta-
cle.
●Do not drive the vehicle while only looking at the monitor screen under any circum-
stances.
Driving while only viewing the monitor sc reen may cause a collision or lead to an
accident, as the image displayed on the mo nitor screen may differ from actual condi-
tions. Make sure to visually check the surrounding areas with and without the mirror
while driving.

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 all around the vehicle before
proceeding.
●If the tires are changed, the position of th e guide lines displayed on the screen may be
incorrect. When changing the tires, consult your Lexus dealer.
●Depending on the circumstances of the ve hicle (number of passengers, amount of
luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change. Be
sure to check visually behind and all around the vehicle before proceeding.
●When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or
camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.

timing and amount the steering wheel should be turned differs depending on the road
condition and road surface. Use the Multi-terrain Monitor with full understanding of
the above conditions.
Always confirm that there is appropriate sp ace before attempting to park the vehicle.

CAUTION
■The rear height control air suspension must be turned off
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Otherwise, the automatic leveling func-
tion may cause vehicle height to change, an
d you may catch part of your body in the
vehicle, resulting in an accident:
●When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying the vehicle with chains/
wires for transportation via flatbed truck, tu rn off the rear height control air suspen-
sion and stop the engine.
●When the vehicle must be towed or disconnecting a trailer, put the vehicle height in N
mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension.
●When the vehicle is stuck, turn off the rear height control air suspension.
■Selecting the correct height mode
●HI mode should only be used when drivin g on rough roads, for example when driving
off-road.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turn ing abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Do not select HI mode when loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turn ing abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Before lowering vehicle height, check that there is no one under the vehicle.
NOTICE
■Be careful in any place where overhead space is limited
The vehicle height will rise when a higher mode is selected or cargo is unloaded. This
may cause damage to the vehicle.
■Do not select LO mode when driving on bumpy roads
If the underbody of the vehicle touches a rugged road surface, the vehicle may be
damaged.
■Changing vehicle height
Do not change vehicle height frequently.
The compressor may overheat and stop operation.
■When on the extremely uneven roads with rocks
Sometimes the vehicle height is not adjusted because it is judged as uneven road driv-
ing.

CAUTION
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the same size, brand, tread pattern and total load capac-
ity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation
pressure level.
The ABS/Multi Terrain ABS, TRAC/Active
TRAC and VSC/Trailer Sway Control will
not function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modi fying the suspension will affect the driving
assist systems, and may caus e the system to malfunction.
■Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situations.
Depending on many factors such as the condit ions of the vehicle, trailer, road surface,
and driving environment, the Trailer Sway Co ntrol system may not be effective. Refer to
your trailer owner’s manual for information on how to tow your trailer properly.
■If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may caus e death or serious injury.
●Firmly grip the steering wh eel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel.
●Begin releasing the accelerator pedal i mmediately but very gradually to reduce
speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer
should stabilize. ( P. 1 8 0 )
