Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure as for the LHD and RHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LHD vehicles.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    Note


    • for Stereo Camera Type:

      When replacing the windshield glass of a vehicle equipped with an object recognition camera, make sure to use a Lexus genuine part. If a non-Lexus genuine part is used, the object recognition camera may not be able to be installed due to a missing bracket. Also, the dynamic radar cruise control system (for Stereo camera type), front camera system (for Stereo camera type), lane control system (for Stereo camera type), road sign assist system (for Stereo camera type), pre-collision system (for Stereo camera type) or adaptive high beam system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity or black ceramic border.

    • for Mono Camera Type:

      When replacing the windshield glass of a vehicle equipped with a forward recognition camera, make sure to use a Lexus genuine part. If a non-Lexus genuine part is used, the forward recognition camera may not be able to be installed due to a missing bracket. Also, the Dynamic radar cruise control system (for Mono camera type), front camera system (for Mono camera type), LKA/LDA system (for Mono camera type), road sign assist system (for Mono camera type), pre-collision system (for Mono camera type) or automatic high beam system not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity or black ceramic border.

    • There are non-replaceable sponges on the windshield glass at the positions shown in the illustration. When removing and installing the windshield glass, make sure not to damage the sponges with a wire or knife. If the sponges are damaged, replace the windshield glass.
