If the system is disabled, it will remain off even if the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode after the engine switch has been turned off.WARNING:Cautions regarding the use of the systemThere is a limit to the degree of recognition 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’ surroundings and driving safely.To ensure the system can operate properlyObserve the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely and possibly 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 backlit license plate (especially fluorescent type), fog lights, fender pole or wireless antenna near a radar sensor.Do not subject the surrounding area of the sensor to a strong impact. If subjected to an impact, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the front or rear bumper needs to be emoved/installed or replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.Do not attach a license plate cover.Keep your tires properly inflated.When to disable the functionIn 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.A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.Notes when washing the vehicleDo 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 sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.Note:The system can be operated whenThe engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.Intuitive parking assist function is on.The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).A shift lever other than P.Setting the buzzer volumeThe buzzer volume can be adjusted on the multi-information display. (Setting the buzzer volume)If “ Parking Assist Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-information displayWater 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 normal.Initialization may not have been performed after a battery terminal was disconnected and reconnected. Initialize the system. (If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected) If this message continues to be displayed even after initialization, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.If “ Parking Assist Unavailable Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information displayA sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.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 a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnectedThe system needs to be initialized. To initialize 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 informationThe following situations may occur during use.The sensor's detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle front and rear bumpers.Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.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 be properly detectedThe 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 wavesSharply-angled objectsLow objectsTall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehiclePeople may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.Situations in which the system may not operate properlyCertain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this may occur are listed below.There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display may be displayed abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold.

On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicleA sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.If objects draw too close to the sensor.When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts with gathers or frills).When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection range.Strong wind is blowingWhen driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstormWhen an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a detected objectIf an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicleIf the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impactWhen equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plowIf the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried loadIf the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioningWhen a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is usedSituations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibility of a collisionIn some situations, such as the following, the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.When driving on a narrow road

When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier (such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parking lots)When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the roadWhen driving on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for drainage ditchesWhen driving up or down a steep slopeIf a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a flooded roadThere is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rainWhen driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstormWhen strong winds are blowing

When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicleIf the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried loadIf the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impactThe vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curbDriving close to columns (H-shaped steel beams, etc.) in multi-story parking garages, construction sites, etc.If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioningOn an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass

When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the object, the buzzer 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.Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding, if the distance between the vehicle and the detected object does not become shorter, the buzzer will be muted automatically. (However, if the distance between the vehicle and object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less, this function will not operate.)The buzzer sounds volume can be adjusted. (Setting the buzzer volume)
