■Before using the LDA
Do not over rely on the LDA. The LDA does not drive the vehicle automatically, nor
does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the driver must always
assume full responsibility for understandin g his/her surroundings, for operating the
steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving safely. Also, take occasional
rests from fatigue due to driving over long periods of time, etc.
Inappropriate or negligent driving co uld lead to an unexpected accident.
■Do not drive without holding the steering wheel
While the steering control function is operating, when the system judges that the vehi-
cle is being driven without holding the steering wheel, a warning message is displayed.
( P. 2 6 2 )
Inappropriate steering wheel operations an d/or negligent driving could lead to an
unexpected accident. When driving, firmly ho ld the steering wheel and keep safe driv-
ing in mind.
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA off using the LDA switch when not in use. ( P. 2 6 3 )
■Situations unsuitable for LDA
Do not use the LDA in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
●When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
●When a tire with a different structure, maker, brand, or tread pattern is used.
●When remain tread of the tire or the air pressure is insufficient
●When restructuring the suspension
●When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinterpreted
as lane markers (such as guardrails, a curb, reflector posts, etc.)
●When driving on snowy roads
●When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, sand, dust,
etc.
●When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the remains of
old lane markers are still visible on the road
●When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving in a
temporary lane
●When driving on road surfaces that are slippery from rain, snow, etc.
●When driving in traffic lanes other than highways and freeway

■When using the Lexus parking assist monitor system
The parking assist monitor is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver when
backing up. When backing up, be sure to chec k visually behind and all around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●Never depend on the parking assist monitor entirely when backing up. The image
and the position of the guide lines displaye d on the screen may differ from the actual
state.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles, people or mount the shoulder,
depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
●The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic condi-
tions, road surface conditions, vehicle condit ion, etc. when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before using the parking assist system.
●When parking, be sure to check that the par king space will accommodate your vehi-
cle before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the parking assist monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes.
●In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to see the
image on the screen. Be sure to check dire ct visually and with the mirrors all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen
may change.
●The camera uses a special lens. The dist ances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distances.
(  P. 2 8 6 )
●Estimated course line display mode: If the st eering wheel is straight and the vehicle
width guide lines and the estimated course li nes are not in alignment, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
