LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■ 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

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) 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 co llide 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.

Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-
tances. ●
Do not use the system if the hood or th e front passenger’s door is not completely
closed. If a bright light (for example, sunlight
reflected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
the camera, a smear effect

camera may occur.
* : Smear effect – A phenomenon that occurs
when a bright light (for example, sunlight
reflected off the vehicle body) is picked up
by the camera; when transmitted by the

Conditions which may affect the wide view front & side monitor system ●
If the front of the vehicle or the passenger side outside rear view mirror is hit, the
camera’s position and mounting angle may change. Contact 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 tr ansmit 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. ●
Situations unsuitable for wide view front & side monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow.
• When using tire chains or emergency tires.
• On roads that are not flat or stra ight, such as curves or slopes.●
If the tires are changed, th e position of the guide li nes displayed on the screen
may be incorrect. When changing the tires, consult your Lexus dealer. ●
Depending on the circumstances of the vehicle (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 pro-

■
When using the wide view front & side monitor
Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the steering
wheel further in the direction the vehicle is turning until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If the steering wh eel is turned to full lock, the vehicle will
turn in the smallest possi ble turning circle, and may collide with the obstacle. The screen’s guide lines are designed for
level surfaces (road surface etc.) or flat walls
etc. When driving ne ar the obstacle, the
obstacle may be displayed as outside the
projected course line, and it may seem that
there is no danger of a collision, however any
sections protruding from the wall may project
over the course line and the vehicle may
actually collide with the obstacle.
In cases such as this were the projected
course line passes close to obstacles, always
visually check the su rroundings for safety.
