Area of image of panoramic view:
The Multi-terrain Monitor displays an image of the surrounding view of the vehicle.
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road sur-
faces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle
bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if there
is room between the bumpers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the
image, in reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.
Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

Area displayed on screen

●

As the images obtained from four cam-

eras are processed and displayed on the

standard of a flat road surface; the pan-

oramic view/moving view/see-through

view/Side Clearance View/Cornering

View may be displayed as follows.

• Objects may look collapsed; thinner or

bigger than usual.

• An object with a higher position than the

road surface may look farther away than

it actually is or may not appear at all.

• Tall objects may appear protruding from

the non-displayed areas of the image.

●

Variations in the brightness of the image

may appear for every camera.

●

The displayed image may be shifted by

inclination of the vehicle body, change in

vehicle height, etc., depending on the

number of passengers, amount of lug-

gage, fuel quantity, etc.

●

If the front doors or back door are not

completely closed; neither the image nor

the guide lines are displayed.

●

The position relations of the vehicle icon

and the road surface or obstacle may dif-

fer from the actual positions.

●

The black areas of the vicinity of the vehi-

cle icon are areas that are not captured

by the camera.

●

Images like the following are combined,

thus some areas may be difficult to view.

How to use the cameras

●

The Multi-terrain Monitor may not

operate properly in the following

cases.

• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or

the outside rear view mirror has been

hit, the camera’s position and mount-

ing angle of the camera may change.

• As the camera has a water proof con-

struction, do not detach, disassemble

or modify it. This may cause incorrect

operation.

• When cleaning the camera lens, flush

the camera with a large quantity of

water and wipe it with a soft and wet

cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera

lens may cause the camera lens to be

scratched and unable to transmit a

clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax,

window cleaner or glass coat to

adhere to the camera. If this happens,

wipe it off as soon as possible.

• If the temperature changes rapidly,

such as when hot water is poured on

the vehicle in cold weather, the system

may not operate normally.

• 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.

• When the camera is used under fluo-

rescent lights, sodium light or mercury

light etc., the lights and the illuminated

areas may appear to flicker.

• The camera can be damaged by flying

rocks and other debris.



When cleaning the camera, it may
be difficult to see the image due to
the washer fluid. When backing up,
be sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and using
the mirrors before proceeding.



If washer fluid remains on the cam-
era lens surface after cleaning, the
image may be difficult to see at night
due to the height or inclination of
the headlights of the vehicle behind.



Some dirts may not be removed
completely after cleaning. In this
case, rinse the camera lens with a
large quantity of water and then
wipe it clean with a soft cloth damp-
ened with water.



Washer fluid is sprayed onto the
camera lens surface. Therefore, the
ice, snow, etc. adhering around the
camera cannot be removed.

The parking assist lights of the Multi-
terrain Monitor system are installed in
the locations shown in the figure.

NOTICE

●

Do not expose the camera to strong

impacts as this could cause a malfunc-

tion. If this happens, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer as

soon as possible.

●

Make sure to observe the following

precautions, otherwise the Multi-ter-

rain Monitor system may not operate

correctly:

• Do not apply excessive force to a light

or subject it to a strong impact. Doing

so may cause the position or installa-

tion angle of the light to deviate.

• Do not remove, disassemble, or mod-

ify the lights as they have a waterproof

construction.

• When cleaning the lights, wash them

with a large amount of water, and then

wipe them with a soft wet cloth.

• Do not apply organic solvents, waxes,

oil removing solvents, glass coatings,

etc. to the covers of the lights, as they

are made of resin. If such is applied,

remove it immediately.

• Do not expose the lights to sudden

temperature changes, such as apply-

ing hot water to them when it is cold.



The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width guide lines may not
actually be parallel with the dividing
lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.



The distances between the vehicle
width guide lines and the left and
right dividing lines of the parking
space may not be equal, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.



The distance guide lines give a dis-
tance guide for flat road surfaces. In
any of the following situations, there
is a margin of error between the
guide lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the road.

The distance guide lines will appear to
be closer to the vehicle than the actual
distance. Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than they

actually are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the guide
lines and the actual distance/course on
the road.

The distance guide lines will appear to
be farther from the vehicle than the
actual distance. Because of this,
objects will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same way,
there will be a margin of error between
the guide lines and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.

NOTICE

• When washing the vehicle with a high-

pressure washer, do not spray water

directly on the lights or their surround-

ing area. High-pressure water can

damage the lights and cause them to

not operate correctly.

●

If a light has been subjected to a strong

impact, it may be damaged. Have the

vehicle inspected by your Lexus

dealer as soon as possible.

A margin of error

As the guide lines are shown in the air
near the rear bumper, there are times
that they may look like they are off-

4-5. Using the driving support systems

Since the panoramic view, Side Clearance View and Cornering View process and
display images based on flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-
dimension objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than
the surface of the road. For example, even though it appears that there is space
between the bumpers of the two vehicles in the illustration below and they are not
likely to collide, in reality, a collision is about to occur.

Since the estimated course line is dis-
played for a flat road surface, it cannot
depict the position of three-dimen-
sional objects (such as vehicle bum-
pers, etc.) that are in positions higher
than the surface of the road. Even if the
bumper of the vehicle is on the outside
of the estimated course line in the
image, in reality, the vehicles are on a
collision course.

Three-dimensional objects (such as the
overhang of a wall or loading platform
of a truck) in high positions may not be
projected on the screen. Check the
safety of the surroundings directly.

Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. In the case
shown below, the truck appears to be
outside of the estimated course lines
and the vehicle does not look as if it hits
the truck. However, the rear body of
the truck may actually cross over the
estimated course lines. In reality if you
back up as guided by the estimated
course lines, the vehicle may hit the
truck.

In panoramic view, a diagonal beam
may appear straight and seems likely
not to be struck, however, since the top
part of the beam is actually overhang-

Unlike the normal panoramic view, the
panoramic view magnifying function
zooms in on the vehicle icon. There-
fore, white lines on the road, walls, and
other objects may look bent.
