bumper respectively. Observe the fol-
lowing to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor
can function correctly.
●
Keep the sensors and the surrounding
areas on the rear bumper clean at all
times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area on
the rear bumper is dirty or covered
with snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may
not operate and a warning message
(
P.311) will be displayed. In this situ-
ation, clear off the dirt or snow and
drive the vehicle with the operation
conditions of the BSM function
(
P.194) satisfied for approximately

inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
●
Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper to a
strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off
position, the system may malfunction
and vehicles may not be detected cor-
rectly.
In the following situations, have your
vehicle inspected by any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is
subject to a strong impact.

WARNING
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is
scratched or dented, or part of them
has become disconnected.
●
Do not disassemble the sensor.
●
Do not attach stickers to the sensor or
surrounding area on the rear bumper.

■
Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The BSM function is a supplementary
function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside
rear view mirrors or is approaching rap-
idly from behind into a blind spot. Do not
overly rely on the BSM function. As the
function cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance could lead to
an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
As the system may not function correctly
under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
The RCTA function is only a supplemen-
tary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle. As the
RCTA function may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety
is necessary. Over reliance on this func-
tion may lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

■
When using the Lexus parking
assist-sensor
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 use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 10 km/h (6 mph).
●
The sensor’s detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●
Do not install accessories within the
sensor’s detection areas.
●
The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
Thin posts or objects lower than a sen-
sor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been
detected once.
■
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.
●
The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole, wireless antenna or fog lights.
●
The front or rear bumper or a sensor
receives a strong impact.
●
A non-genuine Lexus suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
●

●
A backlit license plate is installed.
■
When using Lexus parking assist-sen-
sor
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle
checked by any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
●

shifting from D to N, or N to D).
• When the vehicle speed has reached or
exceeded 10 km/h (6 mph) with the shift
lever in D.
• When the Lexus parking assist-sensor is
turned off once and turned on again.
• When the engine switch is turned off
once and turned to IGNITION ON
mode again.
■
If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is dis-
played 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.
■
Sensor detection information
●
The following situations may occur dur-
ing use.
• The sensors may be able to only detect
objects near the front and rear bumpers.
• 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.
■
Conditions under which the function
may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability
of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-
ticular 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 dis-
played abnormally, or objects, such as a
wall, may not be detected.
●
A sensor is covered in any way.
WARNING
●
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 vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
