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.

■
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.
