When driving
■ When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries:
● Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
● Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.
● Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-
tances.
■ Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
● If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle
may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
● Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
● If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
● The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.
■ Camera precautions
● As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or
modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
● Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to
the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
● If a power washer is used for washing the vehicle, do not point it at or near the
camera as doing so may damage the camera.
● Do not use too much force when cleaning the camera lens.
