The diagram shows the detection range of
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot
detect obstacles that are extremely close
to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change de-
pending on the shape of the object etc.

Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding 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 sen-
sor.

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 ve-
hicles, or other loud noises produc-
ing ultrasonic waves.

There is another vehicle equipped
with parking assist sensors in the vi-
cinity.

A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.

The vehicle is equipped with a fend-
er 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
(lowered 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
judged by a sensor to be closer than they
are.

The shape of the obstacle may prevent
a sensor from detecting it. Pay particu-
lar attention to the following obstacles:

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb radio waves

Sharply−angled objects

Low obstacles

Tall obstacles with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle
CAUTION

Caution when using the intuitive
parking assist−sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.

Do not use the sensor at speeds
in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).

Do not attach any accessories
within the sensor range.
NOTICE
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of wa-
ter or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
System malfunction

An accident will affect the sensors,
resulting in system failure.

If the indicators remain on without
a beeping sound, the system may
be malfunctioning. Contact your
Lexus dealer.
If an error is detected when the intuitive
parking assist−sensor is turned on, the
vehicle symbol comes on or flashes
with beeping sounds.
However, the sensors functioning properly
continue their obstacle detection.
The intuitive parking assist−sensor failure
warning display is not given in either of the
following operations:
