Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
Page 234 of 476

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The power switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 6
mph (10 km/h).
●The shift lever is in a position other than P.
■Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the
multi-information display. ( P.231)
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean
Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on
the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low
temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detectio n areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle’s front and
rear bumpers.
WARNING
●The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
●The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
●The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole or wireless antenna.
●The front or rear bu mper or a sensor
receives a strong impact.
●A non-genuine Lexus suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
●Towing eyelet is installed.
●A backlit license plate is installed.
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer.
●The intuitive parking assist operation
display flashes or shows continuously,
and a beep sounds when no objects
are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides
with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
●If the bumper or grille collides with
something.
●If the display flashes or is displayed
continuously and a buzzer does not
sound, except when the mute function
has been turned on.
●If a display error oc curs, first check the
sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is
no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■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.
●When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
