■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).(At any speed when the shift lever is in R)
●Front center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R.
■Intuitive parking assist display
●Vehicles with a Lexus Display Audio system/navigation system (8-inch display): When
an object is detected while the Lexus parking assist monito r or panoramic view monitor
is in use, the warning indicator will appear in the upper part of the screen even if the dis-
play setting has been set to off.
●Vehicles with a navigation system (12.3-inch display): If the intuitive parking assist dis-
play is set to on, detected objects will also be displayed on the panoramic view monitor.
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 the 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.

■Situations in which the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may operate even if there
is no possibility of a collision
In some situations such as the following, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may
operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●Vehicle surroundings
• When driving toward a banner, flag, low- hanging branch or boom barrier (such as
those used at railroad crossing s, toll gates and parking lots).
• When driving on a narrow path surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
an iron bridge
• When parallel parking
• When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road
• When driving on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for drainage ditches
• When driving on a steep slope
• If a sensor is hit by a large amount of wa ter, such as when driving on a flooded road
●Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the system will return to
normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclemen t weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehi-
cles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic component, su ch as a backlit license plate (especially flu-
orescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wireless antenna is installed near a sensor
●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sens or has been changed due to a collision or other impact
• When driving on a narrow road
• When driving on a gravel
road or in an area
with tall grass

■If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates unnecessarily such as at a railroad
crossing
Even in the event that the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function operates unnecessarily,
such as at a railroad crossing, brake cont rol will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds, allowing you to proceed forward and leave the area, Brake control can also be
canceled by depressing the brake pedal. Depressing the accelerator pedal again will
allow you to proceed forward and leave the area.
■Situations in which the Intelligent Cleara nce Sonar Brake function may not operate
properly
In some situations such as the following , this function may not operate properly.
●Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the system will return to
normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a sensor
• When driving in inclemen t weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●Vehicle surroundings
• When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a detected object
• If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the
vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.
●Other ultrasonic waves sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehi-
cles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic component, su ch as a backlit license plate (especially flu-
orescent type), fog lights, a fender pole or wireless antenna is installed near a sensor
●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sens or has been changed due to a collision or other impact
• When a sensor or the area around a sensor
is extremely hot or cold
• When strong winds are blowing
