●When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle sags
due to the number of passengers
or the distribution of the load,
there is a margin of error between
the fixation guide lines on the
screen and the actual distance/
course on the road.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced objects (such
as the road). It is not possible to de
termine the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using the distance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck),
be careful of the following.
●Vehicle width extension guide lines
Visually check the surroundings
and the area behind the vehicle.
In the case shown in the illustra-
tion, the truck appears to be out-
side of the vehicle width
extension guide lines and the
vehicle does not look as if it hits
the truck. However, the rear body
of the truck may actually cross
over the vehicle width extension
guide lines. In reality if you back
up as guided by the vehicle width
extension guide lines, the vehicle
may hit the truck.

CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver
when backing up. When backing up, be sure to check visually behind and all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. The image
and the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may differ from the actual
state.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●The instructions given are only guide lines.
When and how much to turn the steering wh eel will vary according to traffic condi-
tions, road surface conditions, vehicle condit ion, etc. when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before using the rear view monitor system.
●When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your vehi-
cle before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view monitor system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
•When using tire chains
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
●In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to see the
image on the screen. Be sure to check direct visually and with the mirrors all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the fixed guide lines displayed on the
screen may change.
●The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the scre en will differ from the actual distances.

Lexus parking assist monitor∗
The parking assist monitor assists with
the following 2 backing-up operations:
• Perpendicular parking (parking in a garage, etc.)
• Parallel parking (parking at the side of the road, etc.)
The screen illustrations used in this text ar e intended as examples, and may differ from
the image that is actually displayed on the screen.
The rear view image is displayed when
the shift position is in R and the engine
switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The parking assist monitor system will
be deactivated when the shift lever is in
any position other than R.
When the shift lever is shifted to the R
position and any mode button (such as
“SETUP”) is pressed, the parking assist
monitor is canceled, and the screen is
switched to the mode of the button that
was pressed.
∗: If equipped
The parking assist monitor assists the driver by displaying an image of the view
behind the vehicle while backing up, for example while parking.
