The parking assist monitor assists the driver by displaying an image of the view behind the vehicle while backing up, for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples, and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the screen.
The rear view image is displayed when the shift lever is in R and the power switch is in ON mode.
The parking assist monitor system will be deactivated when the shift lever is in any position other than R.

Lexus parking assist monitor precautions
■ Area displayed on screen The parking assist monitor displays an image of the view from the bumper of the rear area of the vehicle.
The image of the Lexus parking assist monitor can be adjusted.
■ Lexus parking assist monitor camera The camera for the parking assist monitor is located above the license plate.
■ Differences between the screen and the actual road The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
Because of this, objects will appear to be closer than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guidelines and the actual distance/course on the road.
■ When approaching three-dimensional objects The estimated course lines target a flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.
In the case shown in the illustration, the truck appears to be outside of the estimated course lines and the vehicle does not look as if it will hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the estimated course lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the estimated course lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that a truck is parking at point 2. However, in reality if you back up to point 1, you will hit the truck.
On the screen, it appears that 1 is closest and 3 is farthest away.
However, in reality, the distance to 1 and 3 is the same and 2 is farther than 1 and 3.
