Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
●
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may
change. Contact your Lexus dealer.

Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
●
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.
●
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.

reflected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
