LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the ve hicle 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 spac e may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide fo r flat road surfaces. In
any of the following situations, th ere is a margin of error between the
guide lines on the screen and the ac tual distance /course on the road.
● When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehicle
than the actual distance. Because
of this, objects will appear to be
farther away than they actually are.
In the same way, there will be a
margin of error between the
guidelines and the actual distance/
course on the road.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION ●
If the tire sizes are changed, the positi on of the guide lines displayed on the
screen may change. ●
The camera uses a special lens. The di stances between obje cts and pedestrians
that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual dis-
tances. (  P. 2 9 0 )■
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 parallel 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 vehicle and the parked vehicle.

Weight of the load ●
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 dete-
rioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.■
Roof luggage carrier precautions
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.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage 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 exceed the vehicle overall length or width.
(  P. 8 8 0 )●
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage car-
rier. ●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle
gravity 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 ro ads, or at high speed s, stop the vehicle
now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place. ●
Do not exceed 154 lb. (70 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
