Panoramic view

●

In the panoramic view, the system

combines images taken from the front,

back, left and right side cameras into a

single image. There are limits to the

range and content that can be dis-

played. Understand the characteristics

of this system before using.

●

Image clarity may decline at the four

corners of the panoramic view. How-

ever, this is not a malfunction, as these

are the regions along the border of

each camera image where the images

are combined.

●

Depending on lighting conditions near

each of the cameras, bright and dark

patches may appear on the panoramic

view.

330

4-5. Using the driving support systems

NOTICE

●

The panoramic view display does not

extend higher than the installation

position and image capture range of

each camera.

●

There are blind spots around the vehi-

cle and there are regions that are not

displayed in the panoramic view.

●

Three-dimensional objects displayed

in wide front view or rear view may not

be displayed in the panoramic view.

●

People and other three-dimensional

obstacles may appear differently when

displayed in the panoramic view.

(These differences include, among

others, cases in which displayed

objects appear to have fallen over, dis-

appear near image processing areas,

appear from image processing areas,

or when the actual distance to an

object differs from the displayed posi-

tion.)

●

The panoramic view will not be prop-

erly displayed when either front door

or the back door is open.

●

The vehicle icon displayed in the pan-

oramic view is a computer generated

image, and properties such as the

color, shape and size will differ from

the actual vehicle. Therefore, nearby

three-dimensional objects may appear

to be touching the vehicle, and actual

distances to three-dimensional objects

may differ from those displayed.

●

The camera may not function correctly

and the image may be displayed on the

screen in the following manner:

• When the shift lever is in the R posi-

tion, part or all of the screen may

appear black.

• When the shift lever is in the R posi-

tion, the screen may not change to the

the non-displayed areas of the image.

●

Variations in the brightness of the image

may appear for every camera.

How to use the cameras

●

The Multi-terrain Monitor may not

operate properly in the following

cases.

• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or

the outside rear view mirror has been

hit, the camera’s position and mount-

ing angle of the camera may change.

• As the camera has a water proof con-

struction, do not detach, disassemble

or modify it. This may cause incorrect

operation.

• When cleaning the camera lens, flush

the camera with a large quantity of

water and wipe it with a soft and wet

cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera

lens may cause the camera lens to be

scratched and unable to transmit a

clear image.

• Do not allow organic

solvent, car wax,

window cleaner or glass coat to

adhere to the camera. If this happens,

wipe it off as soon as possible.

• If the temperature changes rapidly,

such as when hot water is poured on

the vehicle in cold weather, the system

may not operate normally.

• When washing the vehicle, do not

apply intensive bursts of water to the

camera or camera area. Doing so may

result in the camera malfunctioning.

• When the camera is

used under fluo-

rescent lights, sodium light or mercury

light etc., the lights and the illuminated

areas may appear to flicker.

• The camera can be damaged by flying

rocks and other debris.



When cleaning the camera, it may
be difficult to see the image due to
the washer fluid. When backing up,
be sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and using
the mirrors before proceeding.



If washer fluid remains on the cam-
era lens surface after cleaning, the
image may be difficult to see at night
due to the height or inclination of
the headlights of the vehicle behind.



Some dirts may not be removed
completely after cleaning. In this
case, rinse the camera lens with a
large quantity of water and then
wipe it clean with a soft cloth damp-

Make sure to observe the following

precautions, otherwise the Multi-ter-

rain Monitor system may not operate

correctly:

• Do not apply excessive force to a light

or subject it to a strong impact. Doing

so may cause the position or installa-

tion angle of the light to deviate.

• Do not remove, disassemble, or mod-

ify the lights as they have a waterproof

construction.

• When cleaning the lights, wash them

with a large amount of water, and then

wipe them with a soft wet cloth.

• Do not apply organic solvents, waxes,

oil removing solvents, glass coatings,

etc. to the covers of the lights, as they

are made of resin. If such is applied,

remove it immediately.

• Do not expose the lights to sudden

temperature changes, such as apply-

ing hot water to them when it is cold.

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 dis-
tance 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.

The distance guide lines will appear to
be closer to the vehicle than the actual
distance. Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than they

actually are. In the same way, there will
be a margin of error between the guide
lines and the actual distance/course on
the road.

NOTICE

• When washing the vehicle with a high-

pressure washer, do not spray water

directly on the lights or their surround-

ing area. High-pressure water can

damage the lights and cause them to

not operate correctly.

●

If a light has been subjected to a strong

impact, it may be damaged. Have the

vehicle inspected by your Lexus

dealer as soon as possible.

When any part of the vehicle sags due

A margin of error

As the guide lines are shown in the air

that they may look like they are off-

Three-dimensional objects (such as the
overhang of a wall or loading platform
of a truck) in high positions may not be
projected on the screen. Check the
safety of the surroundings directly.

Visually check the surroundings and
the area behind the vehicle. In the case
shown below, the truck appears to be
outside of the estimated course lines
and the vehicle does not look as if it 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.
