chain-link fence.
●Sound wave absorbing objects such as cotton or snow.
●Objects with a sharp edge.
●Shorter objects.
●Tall objects with the upper part projected.
■Operating condition
The ignition switch must b
e turned to ON.

Rear view monitor system
■Displayed area
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an image of the
area behind the vehicle. The displayed image is a horizontally reversed mirror
image of the inside rear view mirror.
Rear view image is displayed when
the selector lever is in the “R” posi -
tion.
If you move the lever out of “R”
position, the screen returns to the
previous one.
The area covered by the camera is limited.
Objects which are close to either corner
of the bumper or under the bumper can-
not be seen on the screen.
The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to vehicle orientation or road
conditions.

CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system, observe these precautions to avoid an
accident that could result in death or serious injuries.
●Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.
●Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-
tances.
●Do not use the system if the trunk is open.
■Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●If the back of the vehicle is hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may
change. See your Lexus dealer.
●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild cleanser and rinse.
●The displayed image may be darker and mo ving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.

■Vehicle-to-vehicle distances
Select a vehicle-to-vehicle distance appropriate
to traffic conditions. The approxi-
mate vehicle-to-vehicle distance based on time interval when driving at 55 mph
(88 km/h) is sho

wn below:
If the vehicle speed is slower than 55 mph (88 km/h), the distance will be shorter
than ab
ove.
■Millimeter wave radar lase r sensor/ Laser radar sensor
The radar or laser sensor automatically detects dirt on the sensor or grill cover
(r
adar cruise control), or the sensor glass (laser cruise control). If dirt is detected, a
message is displayed on the multi-informatio n display, and the radar or laser cruise
control function is automatically cancelled.

■Certifications for the millimeter wave radar laser sensor/ laser radar sensor
(U.S.A.)
●Millimeter wave radar sensor
FCC WARNING: 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
com
pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 
FCC RF exposure information: 
This device complies with the FCC RF exposure requirements.
●Laser radar sensor 
This product is a class I laser product complied with 21 C.F.R part 1040.10 and
10
40.11.
■Certifications for the millimeter wave radar laser sensor/ laser radar sensor
(Canada)
Millimeter wave radar sensor 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions;
1. this device may not c
ause interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference r
eceived, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
■If the master warning light comes on and a warning message appears on the
multi-information display
If a system malfunction occurs when the dyn
amic radar/laser cruise control is on or
in the “RADAR READY” mode, the master warning light comes on, the “CRUISE”
indicator light flashes, a warning tone so unds, and “Check Cruise System” is dis-

When driving
■High mode
●This mode is suitable for driving on gravel or bumpy roads.
●“Height Hi” appears on multi-information display when the high mode selected.
●The vehicle adjusts its height between high and normal depending on driving
conditions.
●The damping mode is set slightly firmer in the high mode so you may feel more
road vibration compared to the normal mode. This is not a malfunction.
■Normal mode
●This mode suitable for driving on roads with a normal surface.
●The height remains at normal height at all driving speeds.

CAUTION
■Pre-collision system limitations
●The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and dam-
age in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision avoidance system and is
no
t a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on
many factors, such as speed, dr iver input and road conditions.
●The sensor is able to detect objects in front of the vehicle within 10 degrees on
either side. If the object is out of range, or there is little to no millimeter wave
reflection, the sensor will not detect the object.
●Even if the system is operative in a collisio n, unless the seat belts are worn and the
brake pedal is depressed, the pre-collision seat belts and brake assist system will
operate.
■Failure Warning
If an error is detected, the master warn i
ng light comes on, a warning tone sounds
and the following warning message appears on the multi-information display.
