CAUTION
■Conditions which may affect the Multi-terrain Monitor system
●If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has been hit,
the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
●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 happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
●The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.
●Situations unsuitable for Multi-terrain Monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
•When using tire chains
●When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera
or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
