(c) Rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogging
To turn the electric rear window and
outside rear view mirror defogger on,
push the button above.
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch must
be in IGNITION ON mode.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window and the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the surface.
Keep your hands off the mirror faces when
the system is on.
The indicator light is on when the defogger
is operating.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot,
do not touch them when the system
is on.
The system will automatically shut off
when the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.
If further defrosting or defogging is de-
sired, simply actuate the switch again.
When the surface has cleared, push the
button once again to turn the defogger off.
Continuous use may cause the battery to
discharge, especially during stop−and− go
driving. The defogger is not designed to
dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily
coated with ice, use a spray de −icer before
operating the system.
NOTICE
DWhen cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater wires
or connectors.
DTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
when the engine is not running.

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
272
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The image is displayed in reverse
on the screen. This allows the image to
appear in the same manner as that of
the rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, shift the shift lever to “R” (auto-
matic transmission) or reverse (manual
transmission) when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
If you move the shift lever out of the “R”
(automatic transmission) or reverse
(manual transmission), the screen returns
to the previous screen. Operating another
function of the navigation system will dis-
play another screen.
Vehicles with Lexus parking assist−sen-
sor — when the Lexus parking assist −
sensors are turned on and an obstacle is
detected in front of or behind your ve-
hicle, a warning appears on the right top
of the rear view monitor. For details, see
“Lexus parking assist −sensor” on page
278.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
DNever depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
DNever back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
DDo not use the system when the
trunk is not completely closed.
DIf the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Lexus dealer.
DAs the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
DIf the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.

LEXUS PARKING ASSIST−SENSOR
278
The Lexus parking assist−sensor is a
warning system used when parking the
vehicle at low speed (e.g. into a garage).
It uses an ultrasonic sensor, which
checks the approximate distance to an
obstacle. It will inform you of the
approximate distance to an obstacle by
displaying information on the multi −in-
formation display and the screen, and
with beeping sounds.
1Front corner sensors
There is one of these installed on each cor-
ner of the front bumper, they inspect ob-
stacles and will sound a warning depend-
ing on the distance to the obstacle. (See
“ — Front corner sensors” on page 280.)
2Rear corner sensors
There is one of these installed on each cor-
ner of the rear bumper, they inspect ob-
stacles and will sound a warning depend-
ing on the distance to the obstacle. (See
“ — Rear corner sensors” on page 281.)
3Back sensors
There are two of these installed near the
center of the rear bumper, they inspect ob-
stacles and will sound a warning depend-
ing on the distance to the obstacle. (See
“ — Back sensors” on page 282.)
To use the parking assist −sensor, with
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in
IGNITION ON mode, push “
”or“”
of the satellite switch to select the park-
ing assist− sensor and then push the
ON/OFF button. Selecting the parking
assist− sensor and pushing the ON/OFF
button of the satellite switch again will
turn the parking assist −sensor off.
When you turn on the parking assist −sen-
sor, the indicator light in the instrument
cluster comes on and a beep sounds for
one second, indicating that the parking as-
sist− sensor is turned on.
The parking assist −sensor will remain on
even after turning the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to OFF and then to IGNI-
TION ON mode with the main switch on.
However, a beep does not sound at this
time.
If an error is detected in the Lexus parking
assist− sensor while self −checking, beeps
sound and a warning appears in the multi −
information display and on the screen. For
details, see “ — Lexus parking assist −sen-
sor failure warning” on page 285.
