WIDE VIEW FRONT & SIDE MONITOR
314
This system can display the wide view
front monitor and the side monitor sepa-
rately or at the same time.
The wide view front monitor uses a super−
wide angle lens to display on screen the
areas to the left and right of the vehicle and
the blind spots to the front of the vehicle.
This system helps the driver check for ap-
proaching cars, bicycles and pedestrians
when at intersections with poor visibility.
The side monitor uses a camera installed
in the passenger ’s side outside rear view
mirror to display on screen the area to the
front− right of the vehicle, helping the driver
check this area.
CAUTION
DWhen using the wide view front &
side monitor system, observe
these precautions to avoid an acci-
dent that could result in death or
serious injuries.
DNever depend solely on the mon-
itor system.
DAlways check visually to confirm
your intended path is clear.
DDepicted distances between ob-
jects and flat surfaces differ from
actual distances.
DDo not use the system if the hood
or the front passenger ’s door is
not completely closed.
DThe displayed image may be darker
and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
DDo not use the system in the follow-
ing cases:
DOn icy or slick road surfaces, or
in snow.
DWhen using tire chains or emer-
gency tires.
DOn roads that are not flat or
straight, such as curves or slo-
pes.
NOTICE
D If the front of the vehicle or the pas-
senger side outside rear view mir-
ror is hit, the camera’s position
and mounting angle may change.
Contact your Lexus dealer.
D As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, dis-
assemble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
D If the temperature changes rapid-
ly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not oper-
ate normally.
D Do not strongly rub the camera
lens. If the camera lens is
scratched, it can not transmit a
clear image.
D 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 pos-
sible.
D When replacing the tires, please
consult your Lexus dealer. If you
replace the tires, the area dis-
played on the screen may change.
D Even if an obstacle is no longer
visible on the side monitor, do not
turn the steering wheel further in
the direction the vehicle is turning
until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If the
steering wheel is turned to full
lock, the vehicle will turn in the
smallest possible turning circle,
and may collide with the obstacle.
D When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.

regardless of the screen mode.
" Wide view front monitor
The image from the front camera is dis-
played. Use this monitor to help check the
area in front of the vehicle for safety, for ex-
ample in intersections with poor visibility.
" Side monitor
The image from the side camera is dis-
played. Use this monitor to help check the
area to the passenger ’s side of the vehicle,
for example when taking off and stopping,
when turning right, etc.
INFORMATION
The side monitor screen can be dis-
played even if the outside rear view
mirrors have been folded. In this
case, there will be a slight difference
between the image displayed when
the outside rear view mirrors are ex-
tended and when the outside rear
view mirrors have been folded.
If the side monitor is displayed while
the outside rear view mirrors are
folded, you cannot check the area
near the front edge of the vehicle as
the base of the outside rear view mir-
rors will be in the way.
