WARNING
To ensure the system can operate
properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
Do not damage the sensors, and
always keep them clean.
Do not attach a sticker or install an
electronic component, such as a back-
lit license plate (especially fluorescent
type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-
less antenna near a radar sensor.
Do not subject the surrounding area of
the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-
jected to an impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the
front or rear bumper needs to be
removed/installed or replaced, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
Do not modify, disassemble or paint
the sensors.
Do not attach a license plate cover.
Keep your tires properly inflated.
When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
Failing to observe the warnings above.
A non-genuine Lexus suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
The system can be operated when
The engine switch is ON.
Intuitive parking assist function is on.
The vehicle speed is less than about 6
mph (10 km/h).
A shift position other than P is selected.
If "Parking Assist Unavailable Sensor
Blocked" is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
A sensor may be covered with water drops,
ice, snow, dirt, etc.
Remove the water drops, ice, snow, dirt,
etc., from the sensor to return the system to
normal.
If a sensor is dirty, the position of the dirty
sensor will be shown on the display.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low
temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed even if the
sensor is clean, there may be a sensor mal-
function. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
Sensor detection information
The sensor's detection areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle' front and
rear bumpers.
The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Detection may be impossible if static
objects draw too close to the sensor.
