■Differences between the panoramic vi
ew display and actual three-dimen-
sional objects
Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects higher than
the surface of the road (such as a vehicle bumper) are nearby.
●Panoramic view display
In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images under the
assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the position
of three-dimensional objects higher than the road surface (such as a vehi-
cle bumper) cannot be determined. Even if it seems that a collision will not
occur according to the screen, there may not actually be any extra space
between the vehicle and an obstacle higher than the road surface, resulting
in a collision. In these cases, conf irm the safety of your surroundings
directly.

■Intuitive parking assist pop-up display
When the intuitive parking assist pop-up disp lay is red, park the vehicle and make sure
to confirm the safety of your surroundings.
Failure to do so may lead to an unexpected accident.

●Projected course lines
Projected course lines are displayed under the assumption that the vehicle
is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the position of three-dimensional
objects higher than the road surface (such as a vehicle bumper) cannot be
determined. Even if it seems that an obstacle is outside of the projected
course lines and a collision will not occur according to the screen, an
obstacle may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in a collision.
Projected course lines Three-dimensional objects in high positions (such as walls with protrusions
or the loading areas of trucks) may not be displayed on the screen. Con-
firm the safety of your surroundings directly.

■Differences between the rear view or wide rear view and actual roads
The guide lines on the screen are intended for flat surfaces (such as the road).
Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects with protru-
sions (obstacles such as the cargo bed of a truck) are nearby.
●Projected course lines
Guide lines are displayed in reference to a level road surface and cannot
be used to determine the location of
three-dimensional objects. Confirm
the safety of your surroundings directly. Even if it seems that the cargo bed
of a truck is outside the projected co urse lines and a collision will not occur
according to the screen, it may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in
a collision.

■Differences between the panoramic view, rear view and wide rear view and
actual roads
●Distance guide lines
Guide lines are displayed in referenc e to the road surface and cannot be
used to determine the distance of three-dimensional objects from the vehi-
cle. Confirm the safety of your surr oundings directly. On the screen, it
appears that a truck is parking at po int according to the distance guide
lines. However, in reality if you back up to point , you will hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that is closest and is farthest away. How-
ever, in reality, the distance to and is same, and is farther than
and .
●Under vehicle terrain view
The tire position indicator lines and vehicle position indicator lines may dif-
fer from actual vehicle positions depe nding on the number of passengers,
weight of the load, road grade, road surface conditions, brightness of the
surrounding environment, etc. Always drive the vehicle while directly con-
firming the safety of your surroundings.

■Using under vehicle terrain view
●The images displayed were previously taken
approximately 10 ft. (3 m) behind the cur-
rent vehicle position.
Therefore, actual conditions may differ from those shown on the screen in the following
situations.
• An obstacle has appeared after the image was taken
• Loose material like sand or snow has crumbled or shifted
• An obstacle has moved
• There is a puddle, tract of mud, etc., within the display range
• The vehicle slips
●In the following situations, actual tire po sitions and vehicle position may differ from
those indicated by the tire position indicator lines and vehicle position indicator lines.
• Tires have been replaced
• Optional equipment has been installed

■Guide lines
The displayed guide lines are composed with the image that was previously taken and
may differ from the actual state.
Always drive the vehicle while confirming your surroundings.

■If you notice any symptoms
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the
solution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
Likely causeSolution
The image is difficult to see
• The vehicle is in a dark area
• The temperature around the lens is
either high or low
• The outside temperature is low
• There are water droplets on the cam- era
• It is raining or humid
• Foreign matter (mud etc.) is adhering to the camera
• Sunlight or headlights are shining directly into the camera
• The vehicle is under fluorescent lights,
sodium lights, mercury lights, etc.
Drive while visually checking the vehicle’s
surroundings. (Use the Multi-terrain
Monitor again once conditions have been
improved.)
The procedure for adjusting the picture
quality of the Multi-terrain Monitor is
same as the procedure for adjusting the
navigation screen. Refer to the
“NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S
MANUAL”.
The image is blurry
Dirt or foreign matter (such as water
droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering to
the cameraFlush the camera with a large quantity of
water and wipe the camera lens with a
soft and wet cloth.
The image is out of alignment
The camera or surrounding area has
received a strong impactHave the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
The guide lines are very far out of alignment
The camera position is out of alignmentHave the vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer.
• The vehicle is tilted (there is a heavy
load on the vehicle, tire pressure is low
due to a tire puncture, etc.)
• The vehicle is used on an inclineIf this happens due to these causes, it
does not indicate a malfunction.
Drive while visually checking the vehicle’s
surroundings.

■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplementary fu nction which alerts the driver that a vehi-
cle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. As the RCTA function
may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirma-
tion of safety is necessary. Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident
resulting death or serious injury.
