WARNING
■ Precautions for the driver monitor
camera (if equipped)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may lead to malfunction
of the driver monitor camera and the sys-
tems not operating properly, possibly
leading to an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
● Do not subject the driver monitor
camera or its surrounding area to
strong impact.
If subjected to a strong impact, the driver
monitor camera may move out of align-
ment and the driver may no longer be
detected correctly.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
● Do not disassemble or modify the
driver monitor camera.
● Do not attach accessories, stickers
(including transparent stickers), etc. to
the driver monitor camera or its sur-
rounding area.
● Do not allow the driver monitor cam-
era or its surrounding area to get wet.
● Do not cover the driver monitor cam-
era or place anything in front of it.
● Keep the lens of the driver monitor
camera free from damage.
● Do not touch the lens of the driver
monitor camera or allow it to become
dirty.
When there is dirt or fingerprints on the
camera lens, clean it with a dry, soft cloth
so as to not mark or damage it.
● When cleaning the lens, do not use
detergents or organic solvents that
may damage plastic.
