"Sensors The Lexus park assist system will help you to easily park by detecting any obstacle around your vehicle with ultrasonic sensors and informing you of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the obstacle with the indicators on the display and with beeping sounds.* This system will operate at a vehicle speed of less than about 10 km/h (6 mph) with the selector lever in a position other than "P". NOTE: * The volume of the beeps can be changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. LEXUS PARK ASSIST SYSTEM 31L354b 317
