Using the vehicle width lines
The relative distance of obstacles from the vehicle width lines can be con-
firmed.
Example 1: When there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle
Operate the steering wheel so that the vehicle width line and
the obstacle do not overlap.
Example 2: When parking on the shoulder
Approach the shoulder, but do not allow the vehicle width
line to overlap the curb or other obstacles.
After confirming the distance to the shoulder of the road,
maneuvering the vehicle so that the vehicle width line and
the curb or other obstacle are parallel allows the vehicle to
be parked evenly.

NOTICE ■
How to use the camera ●
The Multi-terrain Monitor system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has been hit,
the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may ca use incorrect operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity of water
and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera lens may cause
the camera lens to be scratched and unable to transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to
the camera. If this happens, wi pe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehi-
cle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or
camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
• When the camera is used under fluorescen t lights, sodium light or mercury light
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
• The camera can be damaged by flying rocks and other debris. ●
Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If this
happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Likely cause Solution

Driving assist systems ◆ Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slippery road su rface, or in off-road conditions (such as
rough roads, sand and mud)
◆ Brake assist Generates an increase d level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed
when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery
road surfaces
◆ Active TRAC (Traction Control) Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning when starting
the vehicle or accelerating on slippe ry roads, or in off-road conditions
◆ Hill-start assist control Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on an incline or
slippery slope
◆ AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension system) By independently controlling the damping force of the shock absorbers for each of
the 4 wheels according to th e road and driving conditions, this system helps riding
comfort with superior steering stabilit y, and helps good vehicle posture. When
SPORT S+ mode is selected by the drivin g mode select switch, the damping force is
suitable for sporty driving. ( → P. 284)
◆ VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) Helps to adjust the wheel turning angle in accordance with the vehicle speed and
steering wheel movement.
◆ Trailer Sway Control Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake pressure for indi-
vidual wheels and reducing engine to rque when trailer sway is detected.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if VSC turned off
or experiences a malfunction.To help enhance driving safety and perf ormance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to variou s driving situations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heav-
ily when operating the vehicle.
