Sensor detection information ●
Certain vehicle conditions and the su rrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A 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 s in the vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low ered suspension, etc.) is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of their
shapes, signs and other objects may be judg ed by a sensor to be closer than they
are. ●
The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
•Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projec ting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle

Displayed area
■
Driving precautions The area detected by the camera is limited.
Object which are close to either corner of
the bumper or under the bumper cannot
be seen on the screen.
The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to vehicle orientation or road
conditions.
The camera uses a special lens.
The distance of the image that appears on
the screen differs from the actual distance.
Corners of bumper
When the grade behind the vehicle slopes
up sharply, objects appear to be farther
away than they actually are.

2602-4. Using other driving systems
When the grade behind the vehicle slopes
down sharply, objects appear to be closer
than they actually are.
The distance that appears on the screen
between three-dimensional objects (such
as vehicles) and flat surfaces (such as the
road) and the actual distance differ as fol-
lows.
In reality, C = A < B (C and A are equally far
away; B is farther than C and A). However,
on the screen, the situation appears to be A
< B < C.
On the screen, it appears that a truck is
parking about 1.5 ft (0.5 m) away. How-
ever, in reality if you back up to point A, you
will hit the track.
