NOTICE
■Camera sensor (P. 2 3 4 )
Observe the following to ensure that the LKA system functions correctly.
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
Performance could be affected if the windshield is dirty, or if raindrops, conden-
sation or ice are adhering to the windshield.
●When adjusting the rear view mirror, make sure that it does not block the camera
lens.
●Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
●Do not install an antenna in front of the camera lens.
●If the windshield is fogged up, use the windshield defogger to remove fog from

markers by mistake.

When cleaning the inside of the windshield, be careful not to get any glass
cleaner etc. on the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
For lens repair, contact your Lexus dealer.

remove it. The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to stro ng impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert function. The driver’s own visual confirmation of behind
you and your vehicle is necessary and be sure there are no pedestrians, other vehi-
cles etc. before backing up. Failure to do so could cause death or serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
