■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the Crawl Control system
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is started or just
after the vehicle begins to move. This soun d does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in Crawl Control system.
●Either of the following conditions may occu r when the Crawl Control system is operat-
ing. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.

extend the vehicle’s performance limitations . Always thoroughly check the road condi-
tions, and drive safely.
■These conditions may cause the system not to operate properly
When driving on the following surfaces, the sy stem may not be able to maintain a fixed
low speed, which may re sult in an accident:
●Extremely steep inclines.
●Extremely uneven surfaces.
●Snow-covered roads, or other slippery surfaces.
NOTICE

Operate the Multi-terrain Select mode
selector switch during Multi-terrain
Select control to select a mode.
Once the mode is confirmed, the mode
name will be displayed and the control
will switch.
■Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the Multi-terrain Select indicator will go off, and Multi-terrain
Select will be canceled automatically.
●When the four-wheel drive control switch is in H4.
●When Active TRAC and VSC are off.
■When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amou nt of tire slippage, followed by LOOSE
ROCK, MOGUL, ROCK & DIRT 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.
■When the vehicle is stuck
Switching the transfer and differential
For the operation of the following func tions, refer to the following pages.
●Four-wheel drive system (P. 310)
●Center differential lock ( P. 311)

The brake system may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, the TRAC OFF indica-
tor will flash, and Multi-terrain Select will be temporarily inoperable. In this event, stop
the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake system to cool down suffi-
ciently. (There is no problem wi th continuing normal driving.)
After a short time, the TRAC OFF indicator will go off, and you will be able to use Multi-
terrain Select.

■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 corners of the panoramic view. However, this is
not a malfunction, as these are the regions 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 installation 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 appear 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 processes 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. 302)
●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 appear 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.

NOTICE
■How to use the camera
●The Multi-terrain Monitor system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has been hit,
the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may ca use incorrect operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity of water
and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera lens may cause
the camera lens to be scratched and unable to transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to
the camera. If this happens, wi pe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehi- cle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
• 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.
• When the camera is used under fluorescen t lights, sodium light or mercury light
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
• The camera can be damaged by flying rocks and other debris.
●Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If this
happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

The BSM function uses radar sensors to de
tect the following vehicles traveling in
adjacent lanes and advises th e driver of the presence of such vehicles via the
indicators on the outside rear view mirrors.
Vehicles that are traveling in areas th at are not visible using the outside rear
view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that are not visible
using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
WARNING
■Handling the radar sensor
●Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper to a strong
impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off po sition, the system may malfunction and vehi-
cles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations , have your vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is scratched or dented, or part of it has become disconnected.
