NOTICE

Q

To prevent the displays from malfunc-

tioning or operating improperly

O

Do not use detergents such as alcohol, 

thinner or benzene to the display unit. 

Doing so may cause discoloration, 

deterioration or a malfunction.

O

Do not bring open flames, such as cig-

arette lighters, near the display unit. 

Doing so may result in damage or a 

vehicle fire.

O

Do not remove, disassemble or modify 

the display unit.

O

When the system is used while in an 

abnormal state, such as when giving 

off smoke or a strange odor, a fire may 

occur. Immediately stop using the sys-

tem and have it inspected by any 

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus 

authorized repairer, or any reliable 

repairer.

O

Do not subject the displays to a strong 

impact or place your hand on them. 

Doing so may damage them.

Q

To prevent the cameras from mal-

functioning or operating improperly

O

Observe the following precautions. 

Otherwise, the Digital Side-view Mon-

itor may not operate properly.

• Do not strike or hit the camera or sub-

ject it to a strong impact. The camera 

installation position and angle may be 

changed.

• Do not remove, disassemble or modify 

the cameras.

• When washing the camera lenses, 

rinse the cameras with a large quantity 

of water, and then wipe the camera 

lenses clean with a soft cloth damp-

ened with water. Do not strongly rub 

the camera lenses, as them may be 

scratched and will not be able to trans-

mit a clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, 

window cleaner or glass coat to 

adhere, as the surrounding area of the 

cameras is made of resin. If this hap-

pens, wipe it off as soon as possible.

• Do not apply hot water to the cameras 

in cold weather, as the sudden change 

of temperature may cause the cam-

eras to not operate properly.

• When using a high pressure washer to 

wash the vehicle, do not directly spray 

the cameras and their surrounding 

area. Doing so may cause the camera 

to not operate properly.

O

Do not subject the cameras to a strong 

impact, as this could cause them to 

malfunction. If this happens, have the 

vehicle inspected by any authorized 

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 

repairer, or any reliable repairer as 

soon as possible.
