CAUTION
■When using the perpendicular parking assist screen
Estimated course line display mode: If the steering wheel is straight and the vehicle
width guide lines and the estimated course lines are not in alignment, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■When using the parallel parking assist screen
●Do not use the system if the display is incorrect due to an uneven (curvy/hilly) road or
a non-straight road.
●Make sure to operate the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped.
●Be sure to check that there are no obstacles inside the blue outline.
If there are any obstacles inside the blue ou tline, do not use the parallel parking assist.
●When positioning the blue outline over the parking space, be sure to position it so
that the extended blue line may not cross the tire of the vehicle parked in front of the
empty space.
●If the extended line of the blue outline may be
crossing the parked vehicle, your vehicle is
too close. Check that there is a gap of
approximately 3 ft. (1 m) between your vehi-
cle and the parked vehicle.

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 distances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the sc reen 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 lookin g at the monitor screen under any circum-
stances.
Driving while only viewing the monitor screen may cause a collision or lead to an
accident, as the image displayed on the monitor screen may differ from actual condi-
tions. Make sure to visually check the surrounding areas with and without the mirror
while driving.
●Do not use the wide view front & side monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow.
• When the front passenger’s door is not closed completely
•When using tire chains
• On roads that is not flat, such as 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 all around the vehicle before
proceeding.
●If the tires are changed, the position of the 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.

■When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed by LOOSE
ROCK, MOGUL and ROCK mode.
Drivability can be improved by selecting a mo
de which provides a smaller amount of tire
slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is large, or conversely
selecting a mode which provides a larger amou nt of tire slippage than the current mode
when the amount of tire slippage is small.
■When the vehicle is stuck
Switching the transfer and differential
