■Differences between the panoramic view screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines, the combined panoramic view image, guide lines,
etc., indicate estimated distances on a flat road surface. In the following situa-
tions, actual distances and vehicle course will differ from the guide lines on the
screen.
●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. Therefore, obstacles on an upward slope appear further
away than they actually are. In the same way, the actual course of the vehi-
cle will differ from the course indicated by the guide lines.

●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines are displayed further away than the actual dis-
tance. Therefore, obstacles on a down
ward slope appear closer than the
actually are. In the same way, the actua l course of the vehicle will differ from
the course indicated by the guide lines.
●When the vehicle is tilted
When the vehicle is tilted due to the number of passengers or weight of the
load, actual distances and vehicle course will differ.

■Differences between the panoramic view display and actual three-dimen-
sional objects
Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects higher than
the surface of the road (such as a vehicle bumper) are nearby.
●Panoramic view display
In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images under the
assumption that the vehicle is on a fl at road surface. Therefore, the position
of three-dimensional objects higher th an the road surface (such as a vehi-
cle bumper) cannot be determined. Even if it seems that a collision will not
occur according to the screen, there may not actually be any extra space
between the vehicle and an obstacle higher than the road surface, resulting
in a collision. In these cases, confir m the safety of your surroundings
directly.
WARNING
■Intuitive parking assist pop-up display
When the intuitive parking assist pop-up disp lay is red, park the vehicle and make sure
to confirm the safety of your surroundings.
Failure to do so may lead to an unexpected accident.

●Projected course lines
Projected course lines are displayed un
der the assumption that the vehicle
is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the position of three-dimensional
objects higher than the road surface (such as a vehicle bumper) cannot be
determined. Even if it seems that an obstacle is outside of the projected
course lines and a collision will no t occur according to the screen, an
obstacle may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in a collision.
Projected course lines Three-dimensional objects in high positions (such as walls with protrusions
or the loading areas of trucks) may not be displayed on the screen. Con-
firm the safety of your surroundings directly.

■Differences between the rear view or wide rear view and actual roads
The guide lines on the screen are intended for flat surfaces (such as the road).
Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects with protru-
sions (obstacles such as the cargo bed of a truck) are nearby.
●Projected course lines
Guide lines are displayed in reference to a level road surface and cannot
be used to determine the location of three-dimensional objects. Confirm
the safety of your surroundings directly . Even if it seems that the cargo bed
of a truck is outside the projected co urse lines and a collision will not occur
according to the screen, it may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in
a collision.

■Differences between the panoramic view,
rear view and wide rear view and
actual roads
●Distance guide lines
Guide lines are displayed in referenc e to the road surface and cannot be
used to determine the distance of three-dimensional objects from the vehi-
cle. Confirm the safety of your surr oundings directly. On the screen, it
appears that a truck is parking at po int according to the distance guide
lines. However, in reality if you back up to point , you will hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that is closest and is farthest away. How-
ever, in reality, the distance to and is same, and is farther than
and .
●Under vehicle terrain view
The tire position indicator lines and ve hicle position indicator lines may dif-
fer from actual vehicle positions depending on the number of passengers,
weight of the load, road grade, road surface conditions, brightness of the
surrounding environment, etc. Always drive the vehicle while directly con-
firming the safety of your surroundings.

■Using under vehicle terrain view
●The images displayed were previously taken approximately 10 ft. (3 m) behind the cur-
rent vehicle position.
Therefore, actual conditions may differ from those shown on the screen in the following
situations.
• An obstacle has appeared after the image was taken
• Loose material like sand or snow has crumbled or shifted
• An obstacle has moved
• There is a puddle, tract of mud, etc., within the display range
• The vehicle slips
●In the following situations, actual tire posi tions and vehicle position may differ from
those indicated by the tire position indicator lines and vehicle position indicator lines.
• Tires have been replaced
• Optional equipment has been installed
WARNING
■Guide lines
The displayed guide lines are composed with the image that was previously taken and
may differ from the actual state.
Always drive the vehicle while confirming your surroundings.

load on the vehicle, tire pressure is low
due to a tire puncture, etc.)
• The vehicle is used on an inclineIf this happens due to these causes, it
does not indicate a malfunction.

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.
