■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is dis-
played on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow 
or ice. In such cases,  if it is removed from 
the sensor, the system should return to nor-
mal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low 
temperatures, a malfunction display may 
appear or an obstacle may not be detected. 
If the sensor thaws out, the system should 
return to normal.
■If “Parking Assist Malfunction” or “Park-
ing Assist Malfunction Visit Your 
Dealer” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
There is a malfunction and the device may 
not be working properly.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus 
dealer.
■Sensor detectio n information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited 
to the areas around the vehicle’s front and 
rear bumpers.
●Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the 
ability of the sensor to correctly detect 
obstacles. Particular instances where this 
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor.  (Wiping the sensors will resolve this 
problem.)
• 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.
• 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 sensor in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray  or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender  pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong 
impact.
• 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 obstacles draw too  close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low-
ered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are  wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are 
instances in which, be cause of their shape, 
signs and other objects may be judged by 
the sensor to be closer than they are.
●The shape of the obstacle may prevent 
the sensor from detecting it. Pay particu-
lar attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that 
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro- jecting outwards in the direction of your 
vehicle
●The following situations may occur 
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle  and other factors, the detection distance 
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they 
are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between  obstacle detection and display. Even at 
slow speeds, there is  a possibility that the 
obstacle will come within the sensor’s 
detection areas befo re the display is 
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or object s lower than the sen-
sor may not be detected when 
approached, even if they have been 
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to
