WARNING

Keep the sensors and the surrounding 

areas on the rear bumper clean at all 

times.

If a sensor or its surrounding area on the 
rear bumper is dirty or covered with 
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not 
operate and a warning message 
(

P.250) will be displayed. In this situa-

tion, clear off the dirt or snow and drive 
the vehicle with the operation conditions 
of the BSM function (

WARNING

When using the intuitive parking 

assist

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 use the sensor at speeds in 

excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).

The sensors’ detection areas and reac-

tion times are limited. When moving 

forward or reversing, check the areas 

surrounding the vehicle (especially the 

sides of the vehicle) for safety, and 

drive slowly, using the brake to control 

the vehicle’s speed.

Do not install accessories within the 

sensors’ detection areas.

The area directly under the bumpers is 

not detected.

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.

The vehicle is equipped with a fender 

pole, wireless antenna or fog lights.

The front or rear bumper or a sensor 

receives a strong impact.

A non-genuine Lexus suspension 

(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.

Towing eyelets are installed.

A backlit licence plate is installed.

Driving

The system can be operated when

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON 

mode.

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.

Setting the buzzer volume

The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the 

multi-information display. (

P.256)

If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean 

Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on 

the multi-information display

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, 

dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., 

from the sensor to return the system to nor-

mal.
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.

Sensor detection information

The following situations may occur 

during use.

• The sensors may be able to only detect 

objects near the front and rear bumpers. 

• Depending on the shape of the object 

and other factors, the detection distance 

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

• There will be a short delay between 

object detection and display. Even at low 

speeds, there is a possibility that the 

object will come within the sensor’s 

detection areas before the display is 

shown and the warning beep sounds.

• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due 

to the volume of the audio system or air 

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if 

buzzers for other systems are sounding.

Conditions under which the function 

may not function correctly

Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-

rounding environment may affect the ability 

of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-

ticular instances where this may occur are 

listed below.

There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor. 

(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this 

problem.)

A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will 

resolve this problem.) 

WARNING

When using intuitive parking assist

In the following situations, the system 

may not function correctly due to a sen-

sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle 

checked by your Lexus dealer.

The intuitive parking assist operation 

display flashes or shows continuously, 

and a buzzer sounds when no objects 

are detected.

If the area around a sensor collides 

with something, or is subjected to 

strong impact.

If the bumper or grille collides with 

something.

If the display flashes or is displayed 

continuously and a buzzer does not 

sound, except when the mute function 

has been turned on.

If a display error occurs, first check the 

sensor. 

If the error occurs even when there is 

no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is 

likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

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.

260

4-5. Using the driving support systems

LS500_OM_(U)_1809

In especially cold weather, if a sensor is 

frozen the sensor display may be dis-

played abnormally, or objects, such as a 

wall, may not be detected.

A sensor is covered in any way.

When a sensor or the area around a sen-

sor is extremely hot or cold.

On an extremely bumpy road, on an 

incline, on gravel, or on grass.

The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to 

vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air 

brakes of large vehicles, or other loud 

noises producing ultrasonic waves.

There is another vehicle equipped with 

parking assist sensors in the vicinity.

A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray 

or heavy rain.

If a sensor is hit by a large amount of 

water, such as when driving on a flooded 

road.

If the vehicle is significantly tilted.

The vehicle is approaching a tall or 

curved curb.

If objects draw too close to the sensor.

Objects which may not be properly 

detected

The shape of the object may prevent the 

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular 

attention to the following objects:

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

Cotton, snow and other materials that 

absorb sound waves

Sharply-angled objects

Low objects

Tall objects with upper sections project-

ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-

cle

People may not be detected if they are 

wearing certain types of clothing.

Buzzer operation and distance to 
an object

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are 
operating.
 The buzzer beeps faster as the vehi-

cle approaches an object. When the 
vehicle comes within the following 
distance of the object, the buzzer 
sounds continuously:

Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)

 When 2 or more objects are 

detected simultaneously, the buzzer 
sounds for the nearest object. If one 
or more objects come within 
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the 
vehicle, the buzzer will repeat a long 
tone, followed by fast beeps.

 Automatic buzzer mute function: 

After a buzzer begins sounding, if 
the distance between the vehicle 
and the detected object does not 
become shorter, the buzzer will be 
muted automatically. (However, if 
the distance between the vehicle 
and object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less, 
this function will not operate.)

The driver is solely responsible for safe 

driving. Always drive safely, taking care 

to observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplemen-

tary function which alerts the driver that a 

vehicle is approaching from the right or 

left at the rear of the vehicle. As the 

RCTA function may not function cor-

rectly under certain conditions, the 

driver’s own visual confirmation of safety 

is necessary. Over reliance on this func-

tion may lead to an accident resulting 

death or serious injury.
