■The Lexus parking assist-sensor can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. • The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph). (At any speed when the shift lever is in R)
●Front center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. • The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
●Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. • The shift lever is in R.
■Lexus parking assist-sensor display
●Vehicles with a Lexus Display Audio system : When an obstacle is detected while the Lexus parking assist monitor is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the upperpart of the screen even if the display setting has been set to off.
●Vehicles with a navigation system: If the Lexu s parking assist-sensor display is set to on, detected objects will also be displayed on the panoramic view monitor. For details, refer to “NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s bumper.
●Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the ability of a
sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor . (Wiping the sensors will resolve this prob-
lem.) • The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen may show an abnormal
display, or obstacles may not be detected. • The sensor is covered in any way.• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass. • The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, airbrakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity. • The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain. • The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed. • The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb. • In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor. • A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low ered suspension etc.) is installed. • People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer than they are.

●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular atten- tion 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 projecting outwards in the direction of your vehi- cle
●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 impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor. • There will be a short delay between obst acle detection and display. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacl e will come within the sensor’s detection
areas before the display is shown and the buzzer sounds. • Thin posts or objects lower than the sens or may not be detected 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 the air conditioning system.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is di splayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such cases, if it is removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal. Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a malfunction display may
appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out, the system should return to normal.
■If “Parking Assist Malfun ction” is displayed on the multi-information display
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor , the device may not be working normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 376,740)
WARNING
■When using the Lexus parking assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle be ing unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the vehi-cle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.

NOTICE
■When using Lexus parking assist-sensor
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a sensor mal- function, etc. Have the vehicle checked by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●The Lexus parking assist-sensor operation display flashes, and a buzzer sounds when no obstacles are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to strong impact.
●If the bumper collides with something.
●If the display shows continuously without beeping, except when the buzzer mute
switch has been turned on.
●If a display error occurs, first check the sensor. If the error occurs even if there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is likely that the
sensor is malfunctioning.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.

The system will operate in situations such as the following if an object is detected
in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
◆When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not depressed, or is
depressed late
: If equipped
Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) 
If a collision with an object may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving for-
ward due to an accidental accelerato r pedal operation, the vehicle moving
the unintended direction due to the wrong shift position being selected, or
while parking or traveling at low speeds, the sensors detect objects, such a
wall, in the traveling direction of the ve hicle, and the system operates to lessen
an impact with an object and reduce the resulting damage.

If a radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle and a collision may occur, this function will perform brake control to
reduce the likelihood of an impact with the approaching vehicle.
■Examples of system operation
The system will operate in situations such as the following if an object is
detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
◆When reversing, a vehicle is approaching and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late

If the engine output restriction control or brake control operates, a buzzer will
sound and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display to alert
the driver.
Depending on the situation, engine output restriction control will operate to either limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible.
