NOTICE
■When a solid object is close by
■When using the wide view front & side monitor
Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the steering
wheel further in the direction the vehicle
is turning until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If th e steering wheel is turned to full lock, the vehicle will turn
in the smallest possible turning circle, and may collide with the obstacle.
The screen’s guide lines are designed for level
surfaces (road surface etc.) or flat walls etc.
When driving near the obstacle, the obstacle
may be displayed as outside the projected
course line, and it may seem that there is no
danger of a collision, however any sections pro-
truding from the wall may project over the
course line and the vehicle may actually collide
with the obstacle.
In cases such as this were the projected course
line passes close to obst acles, always visually
check the surroundings for safety.

■When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amou
nt 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.

CAUTION
■Conditions which may affect the Multi-terrain Monitor system
●If the tires are changed, the position of th
e 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.
●Depending on the overall length of the vehicle (if a frontal protection system is
installed or the bumper has been replaced, etc.), the position of the distance guide-
lines displayed on the front monitor may chan ge. 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.
NOTICE
■When using the Multi-terrain Monitor
●Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the steering
wheel further in the direction the vehicle is turning until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If th e steering wheel is turned to full lock, the vehicle will turn
in the smallest possible turning circle, and may collide with the obstacle.
●It may be difficult to judge distance with the image from the front camera due to the
characteristics of the lens. Drive carefully while checking the actual distance to the
obstacles displayed on the screen. Also, give your full attention to sudden bumps in
the road.
