●Using the vehicle width lines
The relative distance of obstacles from the vehicle width lines can be con-
firmed.
• Approach the shoulder, but do not allow the vehicle width line to overlap the curb or other obstacles.
• After confirming the di stance to the shoulder, maneuvering the vehicle
so that the vehicle width line and the curb or other obstacle are parallel
allows the vehicle to be parked evenly.
WARNING
■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.

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 slippery 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 other than those specified are equipped
When the tires are replaced, the position indicated by the guide lines displayed on the
screen may differ.

■Differences between the panoramic view display and actual three-dimen-
sional objects
Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects higher than
the surface of the road (such as a vehicle bumper) are nearby.
●Panoramic view display
In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images under the
assumption that the vehicle is on a fl at road surface. Therefore, the position
of three-dimensional objects higher th an the road surface (such as a vehi-
cle bumper) cannot be determined. Even if it seems that a collision will not
occur according to the screen, there may not actually be any extra space
between the vehicle and an obstacle higher than the road surface, resulting
in a collision. In these cases, confir m the safety of your surroundings
directly.
WARNING
■Intuitive parking assist pop-up display
When the intuitive parking assist pop-up disp lay is red, park the vehicle and make sure
to confirm the safety of your surroundings.
Failure to do so may lead to an unexpected accident.

■Using under vehicle terrain view
●The images displayed were previously taken approximately 10 ft. (3 m) behind the cur-
rent vehicle position.
Therefore, actual conditions may differ from those shown on the screen in the following
situations.
• An obstacle has appeared after the image was taken
• Loose material like sand or snow has crumbled or shifted
• An obstacle has moved
• There is a puddle, tract of mud, etc., within the display range
• The vehicle slips
●In the following situations, actual tire posi tions and vehicle position may differ from
those indicated by the tire position indicator lines and vehicle position indicator lines.
• Tires have been replaced
• Optional equipment has been installed
WARNING
■Guide lines
The displayed guide lines are composed with the image that was previously taken and
may differ from the actual state.
Always drive the vehicle while confirming your surroundings.

WARNING
■Handling the radar sensor
One Blind Spot Monitor sensor is installed in
side the left and right side of the vehicle
rear bumper respectively. Observe the follow ing to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
function correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the surrounding areas
on the rear bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear
bumper is dirty or covered with snow, the
Blind Spot Monitor may not operate and a
warning message ( P. 372) will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off the dirt or
snow and drive the vehicle with the operation
conditions of the BSM function ( P. 377)
satisfied for approximately 10 minutes. If the
warning message does not disappear, have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

DrivingThe BSM function uses radar sensors to detect 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.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not attach stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on the rear bumper.
●Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the rear bumper.
●Do not paint the rear bumper any colo r other than an official Lexus color.

The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
The range of each detection area is:
Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3 .5 m) from either side of the vehicle
*
*
: The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from the side of the vehicle
cannot be detected.
Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) to 197 ft. (60 m) from the rear bumper
*
*
: The greater the difference in speed betwee n your vehicle and the detected vehicle is,
the farther away the vehicle will be detect ed, causing the outside rear view mirror
indicator to illuminate or flash.

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.
