Buzzer operation and distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating. ●
The buzzer sounds faster as th e vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the object, the
buzzer sounds continuously: Approximately 1.2 ft. (35 cm). ●
When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer system
responds to the nearest object. If on e or both come within the above dis-
tances, the beep will repeat a lo ng tone, followed by fast beeps.(blinking

For details, refer to “NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”. ■
Sensor detectio n 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 object. 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 th e 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.
• When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
• 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, air
brakes 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 bumper or sensor re ceives a strong impact.
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
• 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 objects draw too close to the sensor.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there ar e 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 object may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention
to the following objects:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi als 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 object and other factors, the detection distance may
shorten, or detectio n may be impossible.
• Objects may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short dela y between object detection and display. Even at slow
speeds, there is a possibility that the obje ct 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 th e 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 ic e. 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 object may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out, the system should
return to normal. ■
If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is di splayed on the multi- information display
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working normally.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. ■

WARNING ■
When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle be ing unable to be driv en safely and possibly
cause an accident. ●
Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h). ●
The sensors’ detection areas and reaction ti mes are limited. When moving forward or
reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially th e 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.●
The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna. ●
The front or rear bumper or a se nsor receives a strong impact.●
A non-genuine Lexus suspension (lower ed suspension, etc.) is installed.●
Towing eyelets are installed. ●
A backlit licence plate is installed. ■
When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a sensor mal-
function, etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer. ●
The intuitive parking assist operation disp lay flashes, and a buzzer sounds when no
obstacles are detected. ●
If the area around a sensor co llides with something, or is subjected to strong impact.●
If the bumper collides with something. ●
If the display shows continuously withou t 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, sn ow or mud on the sensor, it is likely that the
sensor is malfunctioning.

If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the vehicle stra ight ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed
of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more. ■
If “ICS Unavailable” is displayed on the mu lti-information display and the ICS OFF indi-
cator is flashing ●
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from
the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal. ●
If this message continues to be displayed even after cleaning the se nsor, or is displayed
even though the sensor is clean, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. ●
Initialization may not have been performed af ter a 12-volt battery terminal was discon-
nected and reconnected. Initialize the system. ( → P. 353)■
If “ICS Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is di splayed on the multi-in formation display and
