■

Cautions regarding the use of the

system

There is a limit to the degree of recogni-

tion accuracy and control performance

that this system can provide, do not

overly rely on this system. The driver is

always responsible for paying attention

to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving

safely.

■

To ensure the system can operate

properly

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 damage the sensors, and

always keep them clean.

●

Do not attach a sticker or install an

electronic component, such as a back-

lit license plate (especially fluorescent

type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-

less antenna near a radar sensor.

●

Do not subject the surrounding area of

the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-

jected to an impact, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the

front or rear bumper needs to be

removed/installed or replaced, con-

tact your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not modify, disassemble or paint

the sensors.

P.221)

■

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.

■

If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is dis-

played on the multi-information display

●

Water may be continuously flowing over

the sensor surface, such as in a heavy

rain. When the system determines that it

is normal, the system will return to nor-

mal.

●

Initialization may not have been per-

formed after a 12-volt battery terminal

was disconnected and reconnected. Ini-

tialize the system. (



P.224)

If this message continues to be displayed

even after initialization, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■

If a 12-volt battery terminal has been

disconnected and reconnected

The system needs to be initialized. To initial-

ize the system, drive the vehicle straight

ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of

approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

■

Sensor detection information

●

The sensor’s detection areas are limited

to the areas around the vehicle’s front

and rear bumpers.

●

The following situations may occur

during use.

• 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.

■

Objects which the system may not prop-

erly detect

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

WARNING

■

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.

●

Failing to observe the warnings above.

●

(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.

■

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 malfunctioning.

●

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 vehi-

cle, do not direct steam too close to

the sensors as doing so may cause a

sensor to malfunction.

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.


