If you back up too quickly, you
may lose synchronization with the
parallel parking assist.
Leaving the vehicle stopped, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
Be sure to turn the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped.
When the screen changes, keep the steering wheel in its current position
and back up.
When backing up, be careful not to hit any obstacles with the left front corner of
your vehicle. Back the vehicle up slowly.
When the vehicle is parallel with the road or the shoulder, straighten the
steering wheel.
Check your surroundings visually and with the mirrors, then back up using
the distance guide lines as a reference, and stop.
When the vehicle is approximately in th e desired parking location, the parallel
parking assist is complete.
●Parallel parking assist mode information
• There is a possibility that parallel parking guidance may not be given
when backing up at a very slow speed.
• If the back door is opened during parallel parking guidance, the parallel parking assist will be interrupted and canceled. Stop the vehicle, shift the
shift lever out of the R position, and restart the operation from the step
.

●Canceling parallel parking assist
Select .
●Vehicles with intuitive parking assist
If intuitive parking assist detects an object while you attempt to park in a
parking space on the right, the blac
k and yellow vertical pole could be
obscured by intuitive parking assist display. In this event, turn intuitive park-
ing assist switch off ( →P. 245), and operate the vehicle while checking the
safety of the surrounding area direct visually and with mirror. After the
operation, turn the switch on.
●If the message “Steering wheel turned too far, please return.” is displayed
The steering wheel has been turned too far, and the system cannot func-
tion. Return the steering wheel to its original position.
If the message is displayed before the outline is positioned over the desired
parking space, it is likely that the vehicle is too far away from the shoulder.
Check that there is a gap of approximately 3 ft. (1 m) between your vehicle
and the parked vehicle.

■Area displayed on screen
The parking assist monitor displays
an image of the view from the
bumper of the rear area of the vehi-
cle.
The image on the rear view monitor
system screen can be adjusted, refer
to the “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S
MANUAL” or “NAVIGATION
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
• The area displayed on the screenmay vary according to vehicle orien-
tation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the
bumper cannot be seen on the
screen.
• The camera uses a special lens. The
distance of the image that appears
on the screen differs from the actual
distance.
• Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed on the mon- itor.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a backlit license plate, it may interfere with the dis-
play.

■Lexus parking assist monitor camera
The camera for the parking assist
monitor is located above the license
plate.
●Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud etc.) is adhering
to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a
large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet
cloth.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not actually be
parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when they appear to
be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width 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, there is a margin of error between the guide lines on
the screen and the actual 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 dis-
tance/course on the road.
●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be further from the
vehicle 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.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The estimated course lines target a flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It
is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional objects (such as
vehicles) using the estimated course
lines and distance guide lines. When
approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the
flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.
●Estimated course lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown in the illustra-
tion, the truck appears to be out-
side of the estimated course lines
and the vehicle does not look as if
it will hits the truck. However, the
rear body of the truck may actu-
ally cross over the estimated
course lines. In reality if you back
up as guided by the estimated
course lines, the vehicle may hit
the truck.
