■

Detection of objects along the sides of the vehicle

●

Objects along the sides of the vehicle are not instantaneously detected. The
location of objects in relation to the vehicle is estimated after they are first
detected by the front or rear side sensors, or side cameras. Therefore, after the
power switch is changed to ON, even if an object is along the side of the vehicle,
it may not be detected until the vehicle has been driven a small amount and the
side sensors or side cameras completely scan the areas along the sides of the
vehicle.

●

If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is detected by a side sensors or side cameras,
but then leaves the detection area of the side sensors or side cameras, the
system will assume the object has not moved.

Parking assistance through the Advanced Park main switch operation

Purpose of the Lexus Teammate Advanced Park

The Advanced Park is a system which assists in safely and smoothly parking in
a target parking space by displaying the blind spots around the vehicle and the
parking spot through a bird’s eye view, delivering operation guidance through
displays and buzzer operation, and changing the shift position, operating the steer-
ing wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal.Additionally, the panoramic view
monitor can display the area in front, behind, and from above the vehicle, helping
confirm the condition of the area around the vehicle. For details on the panoramic
view monitor refer to "MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MANUAL".Depending on the
condition of the road surface or the vehicle, the distance between the vehicle and a
parking space, etc., it may not be possible to assist in parking in the target space.

Purpose of the Remote control function

Remote control function is a system which assists in parking or exiting from
a parking space selected on the center display by allowing changing the shift
position, operating the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal
from outside of the vehicle via a smartphone.

Cautions regarding the use of the system

The recognition and control capabilities for this system are limited. The driver should
always drive safety by always being responsible without over relying on the system and
have a understanding of the surrounding situations.

●

As with a normal vehicle, take care to observe your surroundings while the vehicle is
moving.

●

Always pay attention to the vehicle’s surroundings while the system is operating and
depress the brake pedal as necessary to slow or stop the vehicle.

●

When parking, make sure that the vehicle can be parked in the target parking space
before beginning operation.

●

Depending on the condition of the road surface or the vehicle, the distance between
the vehicle and a parking space, etc., it may not be possible to detect a parking space
or the system may not be able to provide assistance to the point the vehicle is fully
parked.

●

This system will guide the vehicle to appropriate positions for changing the direction
of travel, however, if you feel that the vehicle is approaching too close to an adjacent
parked vehicle at any time, depress the brake pedal and change the shift position.
However, if this is performed, the number of times the vehicle changes direction may
increase, and the vehicle may be parked at an angle.

●

As following objects may not be detected, make sure to check the safety of the area
around your vehicle and depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle if it may collide
with an object.
