■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the engine switch or unlocking the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will re-enable
the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor dete ction considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject to repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage • When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open. In this case, the sensor may detect the follow-ing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such as leaves and insects inside the vehicle• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices
such as the intrusion sensors of other vehi- cles• The movement of people outside the vehi-
cle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accessories
or clothes hanging on the coat hooks, are in the vehicle.

■Tilt sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
●Any of the tires loses air pressure.
●The vehicle is jacked up.
●An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
NOTICE
■To ensure the intrusion sensor function correctly
●Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects between the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detection performance.
●To ensure that the sensors operate properly,do not touch or cover them.
●Do not spray air freshe ners or other products directly into the sensor holes.

: If equipped
Vehicles with a Lexus Display Audio system:
The distance from your vehicle to ne arby obstacles when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage is measured by the sensors and communicated via
the multi-information display, Lexus Display Audio screen and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding ar ea when using this system.
Vehicles with a navigation or multimedia system:
Refer to the “NAVIGATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S
MANUAL”.

WARNING
■When using the Lexus parking assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in the vehicle be ing unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the vehi-
cle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
■Limitations of the sensors
●RC200t: The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas around the vehi- cle’s front and rear bumpers.
●RC F: The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
front corners and the rear bumpers.
●Certain vehicle conditions and surrounding environments, such as the following, may affect the ability of the sensors to correctly detect objects. Pay particular attention in
the following situations. Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being driven unsafely, possibly leading to an accident.
• When there is dirt, snow or ice on a sens or (Cleaning the sensor will resolve this
problem.) • When 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 objects may not be detected • When a sensor is covered in any way• When the vehicle is leaning considerably to one side
• When driving on an extremely bumpy road, incline, gravel, or grass • When 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
• When there is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensor in the vicinity • When the sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain• When the vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna
• When a towing eyelet is installed • When a bumper or sensor receives a strong impact• When the vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb
• When driving in harsh sunlight or intense cold weather

WARNING
• When an object is directly under a bumper • When objects become too close to the sensors• When a non-genuine Lexus suspension (l owered suspension, etc.) is installed
In addition to the situations above, there are instances in which, because of their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by th e sensor to be closer than they are.
●The shape of an object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay particular atten-
tion to the following:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc. • Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects •Low objects• Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle • People, animals and other moving objects• People wearing certain types of clothing
●The following situations may occur when using the Lexus parking assist-sensor.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection distance
may be shortened, or detection may not be possible. • Objects may not be detected if they are too close to a sensor.• There will be a short delay between the de tection of an object and display of the
detection. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within a sensor’s detection area before the display is shown and a warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than a sensor 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 the audio system or air flow
noise of the air conditioning system.
