4-5. Using the driving support systems
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.
