Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the
Lexus parking assist monitor is in use, the
warning indicator will appear in the upper
corner of the screen even if the display set-
ting has been set to off.
■
If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is dis-
played on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow
or ice. In such cases, if it is removed from
the sensor, the system should return to nor-
mal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low
temperatures, a malfunction display may
appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out, the system should
return to normal. ■
If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is dis-
played on the multi-information display
Depending on the malf unction of the sen-
sor, the device may not be working nor-
mally. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer. ■
Sensor detection information ●
The sensor’s detectio n areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle’s bumper. ●
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an
obstacle. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor.
(Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area
will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the screen may show an abnormal
display, or obstacles may not be
detected.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one
side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to
vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with
parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong
impact.
• A backlit license plate, license plate
holder, etc., are installed.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low-

230 4-5. Using the driving support systems
LEXUS NX300h Owners Manu-
al_USA_OM78212U ered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are
instances in which, because of their shape,
signs and other objects may be judged by a
sensor to be closer than they are. ●
The shape of the obstacle may prevent a
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
•Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle●
The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they
are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the
obstacle will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the buzzer sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sen-
sor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to
the volume of audio system or air flow
noise of the air co nditioning system.
■
Customization
Some functions can be customized.

Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.

Hybrid system output restraint control
When there is an obstacle, where a potent ial collision may occur, is detected, the
increase of the vehicle speed is restrained due to hybrid system output being con-
trolled. NOTICE■
Preventing sensor malfunctions●
If the area around a sensor is subjected
to an impact, equi pment may not oper-
ate properly due to a sensor malfunc-
tion. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.●
When using a high-pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray water
directly on the sensors. The sensors
may not function properly if subjected
to an impact from strong water pres-
sure.●
