CAUTION

■

When using the rear view monitor system, observe the following precautions to

avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries:

●

Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.

●

Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.

●

Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-

tances.

■

Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system

●

If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle

may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by 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.
