CAUTION
■Before using the Lexus night view
Never depend on this system only.
Lexus night view is intended as a supplemental aid to help you see pedestrians and
road conditions ahead of the vehicle. As there are limits to the system, do not rely
solely on the system while in use, and drive safely while observing the following
precautions.
■When using the Lexus night view
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Never drive while looking at the Lexus night view screen only.
●Do not look continuously at the Lexus night view screen while driving. Pedestri-
ans, objects etc. ahead of the vehicle may be overlooked by the system. The sys-
tem should always be used as a supplemental aid only.
●Lexus night view is designed to help you see objects better when driving in dark-
ness on a road with few curves. Do not use the Lexus night view in well-lit areas or
on roads with many curves or slopes. There may be areas that cannot be dis-
played by the system due to the road conditions (curve size, gradient, etc.)
●Lexus night view may be unable to project some features at an appropriate level
of brightness. Some or all parts of certain features may be dark or difficult to see.
Do not rely solely on the Lexus night view, and drive carefully while checking the
surroundings for safety, as you would with a normal vehicle. Also, the following
features and conditions may not be displayed clearly.
Features that are difficult to display:
• Clothing of a pedestrian made of a certain kind of material (ex. leather jackets)
• The characters on signs and billboards
• The information on road signs
Conditions in which display is difficult:
• Unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, fog, snowfall, snow storms etc.
• There are large puddles of water on the road surface following rainfall
• The area of the front windshield in front of the camera is fogged up, dirty or icy
• The areas around the headlights are covered with ice, snow, mud etc.
• The battery voltage is remarkably low
• There are bright lights ahead of the vehicle
