Ice, snow, dirt, etc., may have adhered to
●
the sensor. If this occurs, remove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return
the system to normal.
Also, a warning message may be dis-
played at low temperatures due to ice
forming on the sensor, and the sensor
may not detect obstacles. Once the ice
melts, the system will return to normal.
● If this message is shown even after
removing dirt from the sensor, or shown
when the sensor was not dirty to begin
with, have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer.
