CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When replacing the forward recognition camera, replace it with a new one.
Do not touch the camera lens or the front windshield glass in front of the camera.
If the forward recognition camera has been struck or dropped, replace it with a new one.
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, lane departure alert system, pre-collision system, forward recognition camera system or automatic high beam system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity or black ceramic border.
