CAUTION
When using the rear view monitor system, observe these precautions to avoid an

Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
■
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the camera' s position and mounting angle may
●
change. Contact your Lexus dealer.
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
●
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
●
wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild cleanser and rinse.
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted
●
when the system is cold.
