Note

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 LKA/LDA system, forward recognition camera system, dynamic radar cruise control system, pre-crash safety system, automatic high beam system, adaptive high beam system or road sign assist system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity or black ceramic border.

      • Prying the No. 3 windshield outside moulding clips with the drill may damage the No. 3 windshield outside moulding clip installation holes or drill bit.

    5. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the No. 3 windshield outside moulding clip fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.
