STARTING AND DRIVING CAUTION D Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up. Always make sure your intended path is clear. Use caution just as you would when backing up any vehicle. D Never back up while looking only at the screen. The image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces will differ from actual distances. If you back up while looking only at the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a person or an object. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirrors before proceeding. D Do not use the system when the trunk is not completely closed. D If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera may change. Be sure to have the camera's position and mounting angle checked at your Lexus dealer. D If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. D If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water droplets, snow, or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and rinse. D Use your own eyes to assure rearward clearance, as the displayed image may become faint or darker, and moving images will be distorted or not entirely visible when outside temperature is cold. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirror before proceeding. 389
