When Using The Wide View Front & Side Monitor System - Lexus GX 460 User Manual

CAUTION
When using the wide view front & side monitor system
■
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
When attempting to use the side camera while the door mirror is folded in, the base
●
of the door mirror is displayed on the screen and the area in front of the vehicle can-
not be observed. The image displayed on the screen differs depending on the posi-
tion of the door mirror.
The field of view of the camera is limited. Do not rely solely upon the wide view front &
●
side monitor.
As with unequipped vehicles, drive carefully while directly confirming the safety of
your surroundings.
Always check visually to confirm your intended path is clear.
●
The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians that
●
appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distances.
When the monitor is in front view enlarged display mode, even if obstacles in the
●
image from the side monitor have disappeared, do not turn the steering wheel any
further until the vehicle has passed the obstacle. By turning the steering wheel further,
the vehicle may make a tight turn, causing the vehicle to make contact with the obsta-
cle.
Do not drive the vehicle while only looking at the monitor screen under any circum-
●
stances.
Driving while only viewing the monitor screen may cause a collision or lead to an
accident, as the image displayed on the monitor screen may differ from actual condi-
tions. Make sure to visually check the surrounding areas with and without the mirror
while driving.
Do not use the wide view front & side monitor in the following cases:
●
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow.
• When the front passenger' s door is not closed completely
• When using tire chains
• On roads that is not flat, such as slopes
In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
●
image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may become unable to see the
image on the screen. Be sure to check direct visually all around the vehicle before
proceeding.
If the tires are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may be
●
incorrect. When changing the tires, consult your Lexus dealer.
Depending on the circumstances of the vehicle (number of passengers, amount of
●
luggage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change. Be
sure to check visually behind and all around the vehicle before proceeding.
When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or
●
camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
