not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low-
ered suspension, etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are
instances in which, because of their shape,
signs and other objects may be judged by a
sensor to be closer than they are.
● The shape of the obstacle may prevent a
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
The following situations may occur
●
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they
are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the
obstacle will come within the sensor's
detection areas before the display is
shown and the buzzer sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sen-
sor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to
the volume of audio system or air flow
noise of the air conditioning system.

Some functions can be customized.
