
Before using the Lexus night view
Never depend on this system only.
Lexus night view is intended as a supplemental aid to help you see pedestri-
ans and road conditions ahead of the vehicle. As there are limits to the sys-
tem, do not rely solely on the system while in use, and drive safely while
observing the following precautions.

When using the Lexus night view
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Never drive while looking at the Lexus night view screen only.

Do not look continuously at the Lexus night view screen while driving.
Pedestrians, objects etc. ahead of the vehicle may be overlooked by the
system. The system should always be used as a supplemental aid only.

Lexus night view is designed to help you see objects better when driving
in darkness on a road with few curves. Do not use the Lexus night view in
well-lit areas or on roads with many curves or slopes. There may be areas
that cannot be displayed by the system due to the road conditions (curve
size, gradient, etc.)

Lexus night view may be unable to project some features at an appropriate
level of brightness. Some or all parts of certain features may be dark or
difficult to see. Do not rely solely on the Lexus night view, and drive care-
fully while checking the surroundings for safety, as you would with a nor-
mal vehicle. Also, the following features and conditions may not be
displayed clearly.
Features that are difficult to display:
• Clothing of a pedestrian made of a certain kind of material (ex. leather
jackets)
• The characters on signs and billboards
• The information on road signs
Conditions in which display is difficult:
• Unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, fog, snowfall, snow
storms etc.
• There are large puddles of water on the road surface following rainfall
• The area of the windshield in front of the camera is fogged up, dirty or
icy
• The areas around the headlights are covered with ice, snow, mud etc.
• The battery voltage is remarkably low
• There are bright lights ahead of the vehicle
