SYSTEM CONTROL
Each screen of the panoramic view monitor system displays guide lines, estimated course lines, etc., together according to the selected screen display mode to inform the driver of the tire positions and trajectories which cannot be directly seen from the driver seat.
When the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system detects an obstacle or the blind spot monitor system detects a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle, clearance sonar information or RCTA information is displayed superimposed on the screen according to each screen display mode.
OPERATING CONDITION
Manual display mode and automatic display mode are provided for the display method of the panoramic view monitor system.
Manual Display Mode
Manual display mode is a method of displaying the panoramic view monitor system screen according to the needs of the driver via operation of the panoramic view monitor main switch.
The screen displayed when the panoramic view monitor main switch is pressed differs according to the shift position.
When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the panoramic view monitor system screen ends and switches to display the navigation screen or information screen.
Automatic Display Mode
When starting off and stopping the vehicle in automatic display mode, it is possible to display the "panoramic view and wide front view" or "side simultaneous view" automatically instead of by pressing the panoramic view monitor main switch. Refer to the following chart for the screen display conditions.
The automatic display mode can be set with the auto mode button displayed on the screen.
| Display | Screen Display Conditions | Assumed Situation |
|---|---|---|
| Display when starting off | Vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6 mph) or less and shift lever is not in P or R | |
| (1) Check surroundings | ||
| Display when stopping vehicle | Shift lever is not in P or R and vehicle speed becomes 10 km/h (6 mph) or less | |
| (1) Forward blind spot (2) Inside blind spot (3) Vehicle width (4) Vehicle-to-vehicle distance |
When the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system detects an obstacle while driving at a vehicle speed of 10 km/h or less, the monitor screen automatically changes from the current screen (navigation screen, DVD screen, etc.) to the clearance information screen with the "panoramic view and wide front view" screen.
When all of the following conditions are met, the panoramic view and wide front view will be displayed.
The shift lever is in D or N.
The LEXUS parking assist-sensor system has detected an obstacle.
When either of the following conditions is met, the panoramic view and wide front view will be canceled and return to its original screen.
The vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).
The LEXUS parking assist-sensor system does not detect an obstacle.
