IS350/250_Navi_U (L/O 0508) 252 LEXUS PARKING ASSIST −SENSOR Lexus parking assist−sensor - The Lexus parking assist−sensor is a warning system used when parking the vehicle at low speed (e.g. into a garage). It uses an ultrasonic sensor, which checks the approximate distance to an obstacle. It will inform you of the approximate distance to an obstacle by displaying information on the multi−information display and the screen, and with beeping sounds. 1 Front corner sensors There is one of these installed on each corner of the front bumper, they inspect obstacles and will sound a warning depending on the distance to the obstacle. (See " - Front corner sensors" on page 254.) 2 Rear corner sensors There is one of these installed on each corner of the rear bumper, they inspect obstacles and will sound a warning depending on the distance to the obstacle. (See " - Rear corner sensors" on page 255.) 3 Back sensors There are two of these installed near the center of the rear bumper, they inspect obstacles and will sound a warning depending on the distance to the obstacle. (See " - Back sensors" on page 256.) To use the parking assist−sensor, with the engine switch in "IG−ON" mode, push " " or " " of the satellite switch to select the parking assist−sensor and then push the ON/OFF button. Selecting the parking assist−sensor and pushing the ON/OFF button of the satellite switch again will turn the parking assist−sensor off. When you turn on the parking assist−sensor, the indicator light in the instrument cluster comes on and a beep sounds for one second, indicating that the parking assist−sensor is turned on. The parking assist−sensor will remain on even after turning the engine switch to "OFF" and then to "IG−ON" mode with the main switch on. However, a beep does not sound at this time. If an error is detected in the Lexus parking assist−sensor while self−checking, beeps sound and a warning appears in the multi− information display and on the screen.
