Be sure to check that there are no
obstacles inside the blue outline.
If there are any obstacles inside the
blue outline, do not use the parallel

over the parking space, be sure to
position it so that the extended blue
line may not cross the tyre of the
vehicle parked in front of the empty
space.

may be crossing the parked vehicle,
your vehicle is too close. Check that
there is a gap of approximately 1 m (3
ft.) between your vehicle and the
parked vehicle.

If the Lexus parking assist-sensor
detects an object while you attempt to
park in a parking space on the left, the
black and yellow vertical pole could be
obscured by the Lexus parking assist-
sensor display. In this event, turn the
Lexus parking assist-sensor switch off
(For details, refer to “Owner’s Man-
ual”.), and operate the vehicle while
checking the safety of the surrounding
area direct visually and with mirror.
After the operation, turn the switch on.
The steering wheel has been turned too
far, and the system cannot function.
Return the steering wheel to its original
position.
If the message is displayed before the
outline is positioned over the desired
parking space, it is likely that the vehi-
cle is too far away from the shoulder.
Check that there is a gap of approxi-
mately 1 m (3 ft.) between your vehicle
and the parked vehicle.

THE CAMERA
The camera for the parking assist
monitor is located as shown in the il-
lustration.
USING THE CAMERA
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If wa-
ter droplets, snow or mud adhere to
the lens, rinse with water and wipe
with a soft cloth. If the lens is ex-
tremely dirty, wash it with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
NOTICE
The parking assist monitor may not
operate properly in the following
cases, or if the precautions described
below are not followed.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may cause
incorrect operation.
• Do not strongly rub the camera lens.
If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured on
the vehicle in cold weather, the sys-
tem 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 malfunc-
tioning.
Do not expose the camera to strong
impact as this could cause a malfunc-
tion. If this happens, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional
as soon as possible.

The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width extension guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing
lines of the parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure to check
visually.
The distances between the vehicle
width extension guide lines and the left
and right dividing lines of the parking
space may not be equal, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure to check
visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance
guide for flat road surfaces. In any of
the following situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide lines on
the screen and the actual distance /
course on the road.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE SCREEN AND THE
ACTUAL ROADWHEN THE GROUND
BEHIND THE VEHICLE
SLOPES UP SHARPLY
The distance guide lines will appear
to be closer to the vehicle than the ac-
tual distance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error be-
tween the guidelines and the actual
distance/course on the road.
