4-5. Using the driving support systems

●

Using the vehicle width lines
The relative distance of obstacles from the vehicle width lines can be con-
firmed.

• Approach the shoulder, but do not allow the vehicle width line to overlap

the curb or other obstacles.

• After confirming the distance to the shoulder, maneuvering the vehicle

so that the vehicle width line and the curb or other obstacle are parallel
allows the vehicle to be parked evenly.

WARNING

Panoramic view

●

In the panoramic view, the system combines images taken from the front, back, left

and right side cameras into a single image. There are limits to the range and content

that can be displayed. Understand the characteristics of this system before using.

●

Image clarity may decline at the four corners of the panoramic view. However, this is

not a malfunction, as these are the regions along the border of each camera image

where the images are combined.

●

Depending on lighting conditions near each of the cameras, bright and dark patches

may appear on the panoramic view.

●

The panoramic view display does not extend higher than the installation position and

image capture range of each camera.

●

There are blind spots around the vehicle and there are regions that are not displayed

in the panoramic view.

●

Three-dimensional objects displayed in wide front view or rear view may not be dis-

played in the panoramic view.

●

People and other three-dimensional obstacles may appear differently when dis-

played in the panoramic view. (These differences include, among others, cases in

which displayed objects appear to have fallen over, disappear near image processing

areas, appear from image processing areas, or when the actual distance to an object

differs from the displayed position.)

●

The panoramic view will not be properly displayed when either front door or the back

door is open.

●

The vehicle icon displayed in the panoramic view is a computer generated image, and

properties such as the color, shape and size will differ from the actual vehicle. There-

fore, nearby three-dimensional objects may appear to be touching the vehicle, and

actual distances to three-dimensional objects may differ from those displayed.

Panoramic view display range

●

In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images acquired form the 4

cameras under the assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the

display may appear as follows.
• Three-dimensional objects may appear to have fallen over, and be long and thin or

bigger than they actually are

• Three-dimensional objects at a point higher than the surface of the road may appear

further away than they actually are, or may not appear

• Tall objects may appear to emerge from the image processing seams

●

Inconsistencies in the brightness of images from each camera may occur depending on

lighting conditions.

●

The displayed image may not be aligned when the tilt or height of the vehicle changed

due to the number of passengers, cargo weight or remaining quantity of gasoline.

●

The displayed image may not be aligned when the vehicle is in other than “N” (normal)

height mode. (



P. 302)

●

Images and guide lines may not be properly displayed when the doors are not com-

pletely closed.

●

The relative distances between the vehicle icon and road surface or an obstacle dis-

played in the panoramic view may differ from the actual state.

●

If an illuminated license plate is used, it may appear on the screen.

●

The black area around the vehicle icon is an area that is not appear in the camera.

Check these areas directly.

■

Wide front view display range

●

Certain areas at the front of the vehicle have a different sense of distance, and are

masked in black so that they do not appear on the screen.

●

There are limits to the range displayed on the screen. Objects at either corner of the

bumper or directly below the bumper are not displayed.

●

The perceived distance in images displayed on the screen differs from the actual dis-

tance.

■

Images displayed on the screen

Cameras of the Multi-terrain Monitor system use special lenses. The distance of the

image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance.

●

The circled areas shown in the illustration may

be difficult to see, as these are points where

images are combined.

Multi-terrain Monitor cameras

●

Camera positions
The cameras of the Multi-terrain Monitor system are installed as follows.

Side camera (left and right
sides)
Front camera
Rear camera

●

Using the cameras
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering
to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a
large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet
cloth.

How to use the cameras

●

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Multi-terrain

Monitor from operating properly.
• Do not strike the camera area, or allow any objects to bump into it 

If the camera or surrounding area has received a strong impact, the camera posi-

tion, installation angle, etc., may deviate. If the camera is accidentally subjected to

an impact, have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.

• Do not remove, disassemble or modify the camera or surrounding parts

Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning. This also may result in a loss of

waterproof performance.

• If the camera lens is dirty, follow the above procedures to clean it

If the camera lens is damaged it cannot transmit a clear image.

Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, oil film remover, glass coating, etc. to con-

tact the camera cover

Doing so will negatively affect the camera cover (resin). If this happens, wipe it off

immediately.

• When the outside temperature is cold, do not cause any sudden changes in tem-

perature, such as by applying hot water

●

When washing the vehicle, do not apply water with a high-pressure washer to the

camera or surrounding area. Doing so may cause the camera to receive a strong

impact, and the camera may not operate properly

Differences between the panoramic view screen and the actual road

The distance guide lines, the combined panoramic view image, guide lines,
etc., indicate estimated distances on a flat road surface. In the following situa-
tions, actual distances and vehicle course will differ from the guide lines on the
screen.

●

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply
The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehicle than the
actual distance. Therefore, obstacles on an upward slope appear further
away than they actually are. In the same way, the actual course of the vehi-
cle will differ from the course indicated by the guide lines.

362

4-5. Using the driving support systems

●

When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines are displayed further away than the actual dis-
tance. Therefore, obstacles on a downward slope appear closer than the
actually are. In the same way, the actual course of the vehicle will differ from
the course indicated by the guide lines.

●

When the vehicle is tilted
When the vehicle is tilted due to the number of passengers or weight of the
load, actual distances and vehicle course will differ.

Differences between the panoramic view display and actual three-dimen-
sional objects

Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects higher than
the surface of the road (such as a vehicle bumper) are nearby.

●

Panoramic view display
In the panoramic view, the system processes and displays images under the
assumption that the vehicle is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the position
of three-dimensional objects higher than the road surface (such as a vehi-
cle bumper) cannot be determined. Even if it seems that a collision will not
occur according to the screen, there may not actually be any extra space
between the vehicle and an obstacle higher than the road surface, resulting
in a collision. In these cases, confirm the safety of your surroundings
directly.

WARNING

■

Intuitive parking assist pop-up display

When the intuitive parking assist pop-up display is red, park the vehicle and make sure

to confirm the safety of your surroundings.
Failure to do so may lead to an unexpected accident.

●

Projected course lines
Projected course lines are displayed under the assumption that the vehicle
is on a flat road surface. Therefore, the position of three-dimensional
objects higher than the road surface (such as a vehicle bumper) cannot be
determined. Even if it seems that an obstacle is outside of the projected
course lines and a collision will not occur according to the screen, an
obstacle may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in a collision.

Projected course lines

Three-dimensional objects in high positions (such as walls with protrusions
or the loading areas of trucks) may not be displayed on the screen. Con-
firm the safety of your surroundings directly.

Differences between the rear view or wide rear view and actual roads

The guide lines on the screen are intended for flat surfaces (such as the road).
Be aware of the following points when three-dimensional objects with protru-
sions (obstacles such as the cargo bed of a truck) are nearby.

●

Projected course lines
Guide lines are displayed in reference to a level road surface and cannot
be used to determine the location of three-dimensional objects. Confirm
the safety of your surroundings directly. Even if it seems that the cargo bed
of a truck is outside the projected course lines and a collision will not occur
according to the screen, it may actually be in the vehicle course, resulting in
a collision.

●

Distance guide lines
Guide lines are displayed in reference to the road surface and cannot be
used to determine the distance of three-dimensional objects from the vehi-
cle. Confirm the safety of your surroundings directly. On the screen, it
appears that a truck is parking at point 

 according to the distance guide

lines. However, in reality if you back up to point 

, you will hit the truck.

On the screen, it appears that 

 is closest and 

 is farthest away. How-

ever, in reality, the distance to 

 and 

 is same, and 

 is farther than 

and .

●

Under vehicle terrain view
The tire position indicator lines and vehicle position indicator lines may dif-
fer from actual vehicle positions depending on the number of passengers,
weight of the load, road grade, road surface conditions, brightness of the
surrounding environment, etc. Always drive the vehicle while directly con-
firming the safety of your surroundings.
