WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

The recognition and control capabilities 

for this system are limited.

The driver should always drive safely by 

always being responsible without over 

relying on the system and have a under-

standing of the surrounding situations.

■

To ensure the system can operate 

properly

Observe the following, otherwise there is 

the danger that could lead to an acci-

dent.

●

Always clean the camera without dam-

aging it.

●

Do not install market electronic parts 

(such as illuminated license plate, fog 

lamps, etc.) in the camera vicinity.

●

Do not subject the camera vicinity to 

strong impacts. If the vicinity is sub-

jected to a strong impact, have the 

vehicle inspected by your Lexus 

dealer.

●

Do not disassemble, remodel or paint 

the camera.

●

Do not attach accessories or stickers 

to the camera.

●

Do not install market protection parts 

(bumper trim, etc.) to the rear bumper.

●

Maintain suitable tire air pressure.

●

Make sure the back door is completely 

closed.

■

■

Situations in which the system may not 

operate properly

●

Some pedestrians, such as the following, 

may not be detected by the rear camera 

detection function, preventing the func-

tion from operating properly:

• Pedestrians who are bending forward or 

squatting

• Pedestrians who are lying down

• Pedestrians who are running

• Pedestrians who suddenly appear from 

the shadow of the vehicle or a building

• Pedestrians who are riding moving 

objects such as a bicycle or skateboard

such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc., making 

their silhouette obscure

• Pedestrians whose body is partially hid-

den by an object, such as a cart or 

umbrella

• Pedestrians which are obscured by dark-

ness, such as at night

●

In some situations, such as the following, 

pedestrians may not be detected by the 

rear camera detection function, prevent-

ing the function from operating properly:

• When backing up in inclement weather 

(rain, snow, fog, etc.)

installed near the rear camera

• If a bumper protector, such as an addi-

tional trim strip, is installed to the rear 

bumper

• When towing with the vehicle

■

Situations in which the system may 

operate unexpectedly

●

Even though there are no pedestrians in 

the detection area, some objects, such as 

the following, may be detected, possibly 

causing the rear camera detection func-

tion to operate.

• Three dimensional objects, such as a 

pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehi-

cle

• Moving objects, such as a car or motor-

cycle

• Objects moving toward your vehicle 

when backing up, such as flags or pud-

dles (or airborne matter, such as smoke, 

steam, rain, or snow)

• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, 

road repairs, white lines, pedestrian 

crossings or fallen leaves on the road

• Metal covers (gratings), such as those 

used for drainage ditches

• Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet 

road surface

• Shadows  on  the  road

●

In some situations, such as the following, 

the rear camera detection function may 

operate even though there are no pedes-

trians in the detection area.

• When backing up toward the roadside or 

a bump on the road

• When backing up toward an 

incline/decline

(backlit license plate, fog light, etc.) is 

installed near the rear camera

• If a bumper protector, such as an addi-

tional trim strip, is installed to the rear 

bumper

• If the orientation of the rear camera has 

318

4-5. Using the driving support systems

been changed due to a collision or other 

impact, or removal and installation

• If a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of 

the vehicle

• When water is flowing over the rear cam-

era lens

• The lens is dirty (by dirt or snow-melting 

agent, etc.)

• If there is a flashing light in the detection 

area, such as the emergency flashers of 

another vehicle

• When tire chains or an emergency tire 

puncture repair kit are used

• When towing with the vehicle

●

Situations in which the rear camera 

detection function may be difficult to 

notice

• The buzzer may be difficult to hear if the 

surrounding area is noisy or the audio 

system volume is high.

• If the temperature in the cabin is 

extremely high or low, the center display 

may not operate correctly.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

Do not overly rely on the system, as 

doing so may lead to an accident. Always 

drive while checking the safety of the sur-

roundings of the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle and road con-

ditions, weather, etc., the system may not 

operate.

The detection capabilities of sensors and 

radars are limited. Always drive while 

checking the safety of the surroundings 

of the vehicle.

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe 

driving. Always drive carefully, taking 

care to observe your surroundings. 

The Parking Support Brake system is 

designed to provide support to lessen 

the severity of collisions. However, it 

may not operate in some situations.

●

The Parking Support Brake system is 

not designed to stop the vehicle com-

pletely. Additionally, even if the system 

has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary 

to depress the brake pedal immedi-

ately as brake control will be canceled 

after approximately 2 seconds.

●

It is extremely dangerous to check the 

system operations by intentionally 

driving the vehicle into the direction of 

a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.

■

When to disable the Parking Support 

Brake

In the following situations, disable the 

Parking Support Brake as the system 

may operate even though there is no 

possibility of a collision.

●

When inspecting the vehicle using a 

chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free 

roller

●

When loading the vehicle onto a boat, 

truck or other transport vessel

●

If the suspension has been modified or 

tires of a size other than specified are 

installed

●

If the front of the vehicle is raised or 

lowered due to the carried load

●

When equipment such as a towing 

hook, transport hook, bumper protec-

tor, bumper trim, bicycle carrier or 

snow-removal device (snow plow) is 

installed near the sensor

●

When using automatic car washing 

devices

●

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-

ble manner, such as when the vehicle 

has been in an accident or is malfunc-

tioning

●

When the vehicle is driven in a sporty 

manner or off-road

●

When the tires are not properly 

inflated

●

When the tires are very worn

●

When tire chains, a compact spare tire 

or an emergency tire puncture repair 

kit are used.

●

When towing with the vehicle

■

Precautions for the suspension

Do not modify the suspension of the 

vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehicle is 

changed, the sensors may not be able to 

detect detectable objects and the system 

may not operate correctly, possibly lead-

ing to an accident.

cameras. Therefore, after the engine 

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 cam-

eras, but then leaves the detection area of 

the side sensors or side cameras, the sys-

tem will assume the object has not 

moved.

The Advanced Park is a system which 
assists in a safe and smooth parking or 
exiting from a parking space by dis-
playing the blind spots around the vehi-
cle and the target parking spot through 
a bird’s eye view, delivering operation 
guidance through displays and buzzer 
operation, and shifting the shift posi-
tion, operating the steering wheel, 
accelerator pedal, and brake pedal.
Additionally, the panoramic view moni-
tor

*

 can display the area in front, 

behind, and from above the vehicle, 
helping confirm the condition of the 
area around the vehicle.
The turn signal lights will blink automat-
ically when the parking assistance 
starts until the vehicle reaches the tar-
get parking spot, to notify people 
around the vehicle that parking is being 
performed.

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 park-
ing in the target space.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

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 oper-

ating 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 oper-

ation.

●

Depending on the condition of the 

road surface or the vehicle, the dis-

tance between the vehicle and a park-

ing space, etc., it may not be possible 

to detect a parking space or the sys-

tem may not be able to provide assis-

tance 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 

shift 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.

• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

• Cotton, snow and other materials that 

absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects

• Low objects (curb stones, parking 

blocks, etc.)

• Tall objects with upper sections pro-

jecting outwards in the direction of 

your vehicle

WARNING

●

Even if there is an object in the target 

parking space, it may not be detected 

and assistance may be performed.

●

While the system is operating, if it is 

likely that your vehicle will collide with 

a nearby vehicle, parking block, object, 

or person, depress the brake pedal to 

stop the vehicle and press the 

Advanced Park main switch to disable 

the system.

●

Never use only the center display to 

view the area behind the vehicle. The 

image displayed may differ than the 

actual situation. Using only the screen 

when backing up may lead to an acci-

dent, such as a collision with another 

vehicle. When backing up, make sure 

to look directly or use the mirrors to 

check the safety of the area around 

your vehicle, especially behind the 

vehicle.

●

When the ambient temperature is 

extremely low, the screen may appear 

dark or the displayed image may 

become unclear. Also, as moving 

objects may appear distorted or may 

not be able to be seen on the screen, 

make sure to directly check the safety 

of the area around your vehicle.

●

In the following situations, while the 

vehicle is stopped and held by 

Advanced Park, it may be canceled 

and the vehicle may start moving. 

Immediately depress the brake pedal. 

Failure to do so may lead to an acci-

dent.

• When the driver’s door is opened

• When operations instructed by the 

system are not performed within a cer-

tain amount of time

• When the brake pedal is depressed 

and the vehicle is stopped for a certain 

amount of time

• When the system malfunctions

●

As the steering wheel will turn while 

this system is operating, pay attention 

to the following.

• Be careful so that a necktie, scarf, or 

arm does not get caught. Keep your 

upper body away from the steering 

wheel. Also, keep children away from 

the steering wheel.

• Long fingernails may be caught and 

when the steering wheel is rotating, 

leading to injury.

• In an emergency, depress the brake 

pedal to stop the vehicle, and then 

press the Advanced Park main switch 

to disable the system.

●

Do not allow anyone to put their hands 

outside of a window while this system is 

operating.

■

To ensure correct operation of the 

Advanced Park

Observe the following precautions. Fail-

ing to do so may result in the vehicle 

being unable to be driven safely and pos-

sibly cause an accident.

●

Do not use this system in situations 

such as the following:

• When in areas other than common 

parking spaces

• When the surface of the parking space 

is sand or gravel and is not clearly 

defined with parking space lines

• When the parking space is not level, 

such as when on a slope or has differ-

ences in height

• Mechanical parking system

• Parking lot with a device which raises 

to contact the bottom of the vehicle

• When the road surface is frozen, slick, 

or covered with snow

• When it is extremely hot and the 

asphalt is melting

Make sure to use only standard sized 

tires, such as those that were installed 

to the vehicle when it was shipped 

from the factory. Otherwise, 

Advanced Park may not operate prop-

erly. Also, when the tires have been 

replaced, the displayed position of the 

lines or box displayed on the screen 

may become incorrect. When replac-

ing the tires, contact your Lexus dealer.

●

In situations such as the following, it 

may not be possible for the system to 

provide assistance to a registered 

parking spot:

• When the tires are extremely worn or 

the tire inflation pressure is low

• When carrying a heavy load

• When the vehicle is tilted due to the 

carried load

• When a heater is installed in the sur-

face of the parking space (road sur-

face freeze prevention heater)

• When the wheels are misaligned, such 

after a wheel has been subjected to a 

strong impact

• When a pedestrian or passing vehicle 

is detected during assistance

• When something is incorrectly 

detected as a parking line (light, reflec-

tions from a building, difference in 

height on the parking surface, a gutter, 

painted road lines, redrawn lines, etc.)

If the vehicle deviates greatly from the set 

parking space in any situation other than 

the above, have the vehicle inspected by 

your Lexus dealer.
