■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,

• 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.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.
The BSM function is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in
a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is approaching rapidly from behind into
a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the BSM function. As the function cannot judge if it is
safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
