WARNING
●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
• People, animals and other moving objects
• People wearing certain types of clothing
●The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstac le detection and display. Even at slow
speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sensor’s detec-
tion areas before the display is shown and the buzzer sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than th e sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow noise of the air co nditioning system.
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a sensor mal-
function, etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
●The intuitive parking assist operation disp lay flashes, and a buzzer sounds when no

●If the display shows continuously without beeping, except when the buzzer mute
switch has been turned on.
