CAUTION
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight ra
ting or the total vehicle weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load
capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration
of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.
■Roof luggage carrier precautions (if equipped)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails with two or more
genuine Lexus cross rails or their equivalent.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and pr ecautions when installing the cross rails or
their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof lu ggage carrier, observe the following:
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear
axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never exce ed the vehicle overall length or width.
(  P. 5 5 4 )
●Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of the vehi-
cle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure
to operate this vehicle correctly and result in death or serious injury.
●If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now
and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 176 lb. (80 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
NOTICE

■Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view moni-
tor system is located above the
license plate.
●Using the camera
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water
droplets, snow or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a
soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and
rinse.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width extension guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width extension guide lines and the left and
right dividing lines of the parking sp
ace may not be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of
the following situations, there is a margin of error between the fixation guide
lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.

●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 determine the position of three-dimensional
objects (such as vehicles) using the di stance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends ou tward (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 perpendicular parking assist screen
Estimated course line display mode: If the steering wheel is straight and the vehicle
width extension guide lines and the estimated course lines are not in alignment, have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■When using the parallel parking assist screen
●Do not use the system if the display is incorrect due to an uneven (curvy/hilly) road or
a non-straight road.
●Make sure to operate the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped.
●Be sure to check that there are no obstacles inside the blue outline.
If there are any obstacles inside the blue outline, do not use the pa rallel parking assist.
●When positioning the blue outline over the parking space, be sure to position it so
that the extended blue line may not cross the tire of the vehicle parked in front of the
empty space.
●If the extended line of the blue outline may be
crossing the parked vehicle, your vehicle is
too close. Check that there is a gap of
approximately 3 ft. (1 m) between your vehi-
cle and the parked vehicle.
