Vehicle width guide line
These lines indicate a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up. The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
These lines align with the estimated course lines when the steering wheel is straight.
Estimated course lines
These lines show an estimated course when the steering wheel is turned.
Distance guide line
These lines move, together with the estima ted course lines, in sync with the steer- ing wheel and show points approximately 0.5 m (1.5 ft.) (red) and 1 m (3 ft.) (yel-low) from the center of the edge of the bumper.

■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 Lexus parking
assist monitor system screen can be
adjusted. ( P. 358)
• The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orien-
tation conditions. • Objects which are close to eithercorner 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 actualdistance.
• Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed onthe monitor.

■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
guide lines 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 guide lines 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.A margin of error

■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 hit 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.
●Distance guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
On the screen, it appears that a
truck is parked at point . How-
ever, 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.
However, in reality, the distance to
and is the same and is
farther than and .
