zThe bumper or sensor receives a strong
impact.
z The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved
curb.
z In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
z The area directly under the bumpers is not
detected.
z If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
z A non-genuine Lexus suspension (lowered
suspension etc.) is installed.
People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
z The shape of the obstacle may prevent a
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
•Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections project- ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle z
The following situations may occur during
use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the
obstacle will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sen- sor may not be detected for collision
when approached, even if they have been
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow
noise of air conditioning system.

2. SOME BASICS
The hands-free system enables calls to
be made and received without having to
take your hands off the steering wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth
®.
Bluetooth® is a wireless data system
that enables cellular phones to be used
without being connected by a cable or
placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the phone is
explained here.
WA R N I N G
● While driving, do not use a cellular phone
or connect the Bluetooth® phone.
● Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth
®
antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroniza-
tion therapy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should main-
tain a reasonable distance between
themselves and the Bluetooth
® antennas.
The radio waves may affect the operation
of such devices.
● Before using Bluetooth
® devices, users
of any electrical medical device other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult the manufac-
turer of the device for information about
its operation under the influence of radio
waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
NOTICE
● Do not leave your cellular phone in the
vehicle. The temperature inside may rise
to a level that could damage the phone.
INFORMATION
●If your cellular phone does not support
Bluetooth®, this system cannot function.
● In the following conditions, the system
may not function:
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the com-
munication area.
• The cellular phone is not connected.
• The cellular phone has a low battery.
● When using Bluetooth
® audio and
hands-free system at the same time, the
following problems may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may be cut.
• Noise may be heard on the Bluetooth
®
audio playback.
