■Using the vehicle width line & course line
●Vehicle width line
Use the vehicle width line to
check the vehicle’s distance from
objects such as curbstones etc.
As shown in the illustration, be
sure that the vehicle width line
does not overlap the object. If you
also move the vehicle so that the
vehicle width line and the object
are parallel, you can park parallel
to the object

●Minimum projected turning circle & projected course line
Use the minimum projected turn-
ing circle & projected course line
(when displayed) to check the
vehicle’s path with relation to
obstacles. If the minimum pro-
jected turning circle line (blue) is
over the obstacle as shown in the
illustration, or the obstacle falls
within the minimum projected
turning circle, if you turn with the
minimum possible turning circle,
the vehicle may collide with the
object. When the projected
course line (yellow) is displayed,
be sure to operate the steering
wheel so that the obstacle stays
outside the projected course line
until the vehicle has passed the
object.

CAUTION
■When using the wide view front & side monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●When attempting to use the side camera while the door mirror is folded in, the base
of the door mirror is displayed on the screen and the area in front of the vehicle can-
not be observed. The image displayed on the screen differs depending on the posi-
tion of the door mirror.
●The field of view of the camera is limited. Do not rely solely upon the wide view front &
side monitor.
As with unequipped vehicles, drive carefully while directly confirming the safety of
your surroundings.
●Always check visually to confirm your intended path is clear.
●The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the sc reen will differ from the actual distances.
●When the monitor is in front view enlarged display mode, even if obstacles in the
image from the side monitor have disappeared, do not turn the steering wheel any
further until the vehicle has passed the obstacle. By turning the steering wheel further,
the vehicle may make a tight turn, causing the vehicle to make contact with the obsta-
cle.
●Do not drive the vehicle while only lookin g at the monitor screen under any circum-
stances.
Driving while only viewing the monitor screen may cause a collision or lead to an
accident, as the image displayed on the monitor screen may differ from actual condi-
tions. Make sure to visually check the surrounding areas with and without the mirror
while driving.
●Do not use the wide view front & side monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow.
• When the front passenger’s door is not closed completely
•When using tire chains
• On roads that is not flat, such as 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 dire ct visually all around the vehicle before
proceeding.
●If the tires are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may be
incorrect. When changing the tires, consult your Lexus dealer.
●Depending on the circumstances of the ve hicle (number of passengers, amount of
luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change. Be
sure to check visually behind and all around the vehicle before proceeding.
●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.
