Lexus Park Assist System
UNL401
" Sensors
The Lexus park assist system will help
you to park easily by detecting any ob-
stacle around your vehicle with ultrason-
ic sensors and informing you of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to
the obstacle with the indicators on the
display and with beeping sounds.*
This system will operate at a vehicle speed
of less than about 10 km/h (6 mph) with the
selector lever in a position other than "P".
NOTE: *The display of the Lexus park as-
sist system screen can be activated or de-
activated. The volume of the beeps can
be changed. See page 106 for details.

You can use this system in either of the
following ways.
D Push the main switch of the Lexus park
assist system with the ignition on. A beep
sounds for one second. After the system
self–check is performed, the Lexus park
assist system screen appears for 2 sec-
onds.
D Push the main switch of the Lexus park
assist system and turn the ignition on.
The Lexus park assist system screen ap-
pears for 2 seconds and a system self–
check is performed. At this time, a beep
does not sound.
Up to 4 indicator bars are shown on the front
and rear sides of the vehicle mark and up to
3 indicator arcs are shown on each corner of
the vehicle mark. The number of indicators
shows the approximate range up to the ob-
stacle. The indicator marks disappear one–
by–one as your vehicle comes closer to the
obstacle. Also, as you get closer to the ob-
stacle, the beeping interval becomes short-
er.
To turn off the system, push the main switch
again.
NOTICE
D If an accident should occur, the
sensors will be affected, resulting in
a system failure.
D If the indicators remain on the
display but you do not hear a
beeping sound, the system may be
malfunctioning. Contact your Lexus
dealer.
