Driving Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in an unexpected
accident. Also, when driving, make sure to directly confirm the safety of your sur-
roundings and the area to the rear of the vehicle.
When using the Multi-terrain Monitor WARNING ■
Conditions under which the Multi-te rrain Monitor should not be used
Do not use the Multi-terrain Monitor in the following situations. The system may not
operate properly, resulting in an unexpected accident.●
When driving on an icy, snow-covered or otherwise slip pery road surface●
When using tire chains or a spare tire ●
When either front door or the back door is not completely closed ●
When driving on an uneven road, such as a hill ●
When tires or suspension parts othe r than those specified are equipped
When the tires are replaced, the position indicated by the guide lines displayed on the
screen may differ. ■
Guide lines
The tire position indicator lines and vehicl e position indicator lines may differ from
actual vehicle positions depending on the number of passengers, cargo weight, road
grade, road surface conditions, brightness of the surrounding environment, etc. Always
drive the vehicle while confirming the safety of your surroundings.

Panoramic view ●
In the panoramic view, the system combines images taken from the front, back, left
and right side cameras into a single image. There are limits to the range and content
that can be displayed. Understand the char acteristics of this system before using.●
Image clarity may decline at the four corner s of the panoramic view. However, this is
not a malfunction, as these are the region s along the border of each camera image
where the images are combined. ●
Depending on lighting conditions near each of the cameras, bright and dark patches
may appear on the panoramic view. ●
The panoramic view display does not extend higher than the insta llation position and
image capture range of each camera. ●
There are blind spots around the vehicle and there are regions that are not displayed
in the panoramic view. ●
Three-dimensional objects disp layed in wide front view or rear view may not be dis-
played in the panoramic view. ●
People and other three-dime nsional obstacles may appe ar differently when dis-
played in the panoramic view. (These differences include, among others, cases in
which displayed objects appear to have fa llen over, disappear near image processing
areas, appear from image proc essing areas, or when the actual distance to an object
differs from the displayed position.) ●
The panoramic view will not be properly displayed when either front door or the back
door is open. ●
The vehicle icon displayed in the panoramic view is a computer generated image, and
properties such as the color, shape and size will differ from the actual vehicle. There-
fore, nearby three-dimensional objects may appear to be touching the vehicle, and
actual distances to three-dimensional ob jects may differ from those displayed.

Panoramic view display range ●
In the panoramic view, the system processe s and displays images acquired form the 4
cameras under the assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the
display may appear as follows.
• Three-dimensional objects may appear to have fallen over, and be long and thin or
bigger than they actually are
• Three-dimensional obje cts at a point higher than the surface of the road may appear
further away than they actually are, or may not appear
• Tall objects may appear to emerge from the image processing seams ●
Inconsistencies in th e brightness of images from each camera may occur depending on
lighting conditions. ●
The displayed image may not be aligned when the tilt or height of the vehicle changed
due to the number of passengers, cargo we ight or remaining quantity of gasoline.●
The displayed image may not be aligned when the vehicle is in other than “N” (normal)
height mode. ( P. 301)●
Images and guide lines may not be properly displayed when the doors are not com-
pletely closed. ●
The relative distances between the vehicle ic on and road surface or an obstacle dis-
played in the panoramic view may differ from the actual state. ●
If an illuminated license plate is used, it may appear on the screen.●
The black area around the vehicle icon is an area that is not ap pear in the camera.
Check these areas directly.
■
Wide front view display range ●
Certain areas at the front of the vehicle ha ve a different sense of distance, and are
masked in black so that they do not appear on the screen.●
There are limits to the range displayed on the screen. Objects at either corner of the
bumper or directly below the bumper are not displayed. ●
The perceived distance in images displayed on the screen differs from the actual dis-
tance. ■
Images displayed on the screen
Cameras of the Multi-terrain Monitor system use special lenses. The distance of the
image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance. ●
The circled areas shown in the illustration may
be difficult to see, as these are points where
images are combined.

Multi-terrain Monitor cameras ●
Camera positions
The cameras of the Multi-terrain Moni tor system are installed as follows.
Side camera (left and right
sides)
Front camera
Rear camera
●
Using the cameras
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 with a soft and wet cloth.1

NOTICE ■
How to use the cameras ●
Observe the following precauti ons. Failure to do so may prevent the Multi-terrain
Monitor from operating properly.
• Do not strike the camera area, or allow any objects to bump into it
If the camera or surrounding area has re ceived a strong impact, the camera posi-
tion, installation angle, etc., may deviate. If the camera is accidentally subjected to
an impact, have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
• Do not remove, disassemble or modify the camera or surrounding parts
Doing so may result in the camera malfunct ioning. This also may result in a loss of
waterproof performance.
• If the camera lens is dirty, follow the above procedures to clean it
If the camera lens is damaged it cannot transmit a clear image.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, oil film remover, glass coating, etc. to con-
tact the camera cover
Doing so will negatively affect the camera co ver (resin). If this happens, wipe it off
immediately.
• When the outside temperature is cold, do not cause any sudden changes in tem-
perature, such as by applying hot water ●
When washing the vehicle, do not apply water with a high-pressure washer to the
camera or surrounding area. Doing so ma y cause the camera to receive a strong
impact, and the camera may not operate properly

Differences between the panoramic view screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines, the combined panoramic view image, guide lines,
etc., indicate estimated distances on a flat road surface. In the following situa-
tions, actual distances and vehicle course will differ from the guide lines on the
screen. ●
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. Therefore, obstacles on an upward slope appear further
away than they actually are. In the same way, the actual course of the vehi-
cle will differ from the course indicated by the guide lines.
