The rear view monitor system
is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver
when backing up. When backin g up, be sure to check visually behind and all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. The image

Use caution, just as you woul d when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.

When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic condi-

• When using tire chains
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or stra ight, such as curves or slopes.
●In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
image could distort when the vehicle is movi ng, or you may become unable to see the
image on the screen. Be sure to check dire ct visually and with the mirrors all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the fixed guide lines displayed on the

Lexus parking assist monitor∗
The parking assist monitor assists with
the following 2 backing-up operations:
• Perpendicular parking (parking in a garage, etc.)
• Parallel parking (parking at the side of the road, etc.)
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples, and may differ from
the image that is actually displayed on the screen.
The rear view image is displayed when
the shift lever is in R and the engine
switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The parking assist monitor system will
be deactivated when the shift lever is in
any position other than R.
When the shift lever is shifted to R and
any mode button (such as “SETUP”) is
pressed, the parking assist monitor is
canceled, and the screen is switched to
the mode of the button that was pressed.
∗: If equipped
The parking assist monitor assists the driv er by displaying an image of the view
