2-4. Using other driving systems CAUTION n When using the wide view front & side monitor system, observe these precau- tions to avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries. l Never depend solely on the monitor system. l Always check visually to confirm your intended path is clear. l Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis- tances. l Do not use the system if the hood or the front passenger's door is not completely 2 closed. When driving n Conditions which may affect the wide view front & side monitor system l If the front of the vehicle or the passenger side outside rear view mirror is hit, the camera's position and mounting angle may change. Contact your Lexus dealer. l Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally. l If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild cleanser and rinse. l The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted when the system is cold. l Situations unsuitable for wide view front & side monitor • On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow. • When using tire chains or emergency tires. • On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes. NOTICE n When using the wide view front & side monitor Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the steering wheel further in the direction the vehicle is turning until the vehicle has moved completely past the obstacle. If the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the vehicle will turn in the smallest possible turning circle, and may collide with the obstacle. 241
