WARNING
■
When using the intuitive parking
assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●
Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●
The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●
Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
●
The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
■
When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
●
The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole, wireless antenna or fog lights.
●
The front or rear bumper or a sensor
receives a strong impact.
●
A non-genuine Lexus suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
●
Towing eyelets are installed.
●
A backlit licence plate is installed.

P.256)
■
If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean
Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on
the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low
temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal.
■
Sensor detection information
●
The following situations may occur
during use.
• The sensors may be able to only detect
objects near the front and rear bumpers.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• There will be a short delay between
object detection and display. Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due
to the volume of the audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if
buzzers for other systems are sounding.
■
Conditions under which the function
may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability
of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-
ticular instances where this may occur are
listed below.
●
There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
●
A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will
resolve this problem.)
WARNING
■
When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer.
●
The intuitive parking assist operation
display flashes or shows continuously,
and a buzzer sounds when no objects
are detected.
●
If the area around a sensor collides
with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
●
If the bumper or grille collides with
something.
●
If the display flashes or is displayed
continuously and a buzzer does not
sound, except when the mute function
has been turned on.
●
If a display error occurs, first check the
sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is
no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●
When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●
When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
260
4-5. Using the driving support systems
LS500_OM_(U)_1809
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the sensor display may be dis-
played abnormally, or objects, such as a
wall, may not be detected.
●
A sensor is covered in any way.
●
When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold.
●
On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●
The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to
vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
●
There is another vehicle equipped with
parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
●
A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain.
●
If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a flooded
road.
●
If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●
The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb.
●
If objects draw too close to the sensor.
■
Objects which may not be properly
detected
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●
Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●
Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●
Sharply-angled objects
●
Low objects
●
Tall objects with upper sections project-
ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-

Что такое RCD и почему он может быть недоступен
Подскажите такой вопрос. Когда включаю заднюю передачу на экране магнитолы внизу появляется надпись RCD OFF и рядом RCD недоступен. Что это такое?

Попробовал отключить парктроники на приборке. При вкл задней передачи и откл парктрониках у меня такой Надписи не появляется. Видимо появилась какая то неисправность с датчиками. Если передние работают, то только с задними проблема.

RCD — это система обнаружения задней камерой. При наличии данной функции задняя камера может обнаруживать и распознавать пешеходов сзади при движении задом. Если обнаружен пешеход, то подается звуковой сигнал и на экране появляется соответствующая иконка.
Как правило, если мигание лампочки RCD OFF сопровождается звуковым сигналом, это указывает на неисправность системы. Если мигает беззвучно — значит система просто выключена или не может быть использована например из-за загрязнения задней камеры. Но конечно на разных моделях могут быть свои нюансы. По идее сопровождается надписью «Обнаружение с помощью камеры заднего вида недоступно». Иногда добавляется «Удалите грязь с камеры заднего вида».
Иногда загорается после снятия клеммы аккумулятора. В таком случае ее надо «обучить». Для этого надо на ровной поверхности повернуть руль до упора влево, а затем до упора вправо.
Систему RCD можно отключить вручную с помощью меню, которjе управляется с кнопок на руле. Обычно она автоматические включается при отключении и включении зажигания.
RCD недоступна
После отключения аккумулятора на длительный срок, перестала работать система RCD, после долгих танцев с бубном и советов других ребят, ( ни чего не помогло ) наткнулся на видео с решением проблемы через service menu.
В двух словах RCD ( жёлтые линии помощи парковки, при включении задней передачи )
Если система RCD так и не одуплилась самостоятельно по истечению какого-то времени, то настраиваем его самостоятельно .
1. Заводим авто, заходим в меню на центральной панели, и выбираем в правом нижнем углу “Display” —-> выключить экран . После этих манипуляций экран потухнет . ( предварительно выключить аудио, если оно в работе )
2. Заходим в service menu : нажимаем 5 раз кнопку “Seek” и затем сращу так же 5 раз кнопку “Track”. После чего появится Service Menu.
3 Заходим в «Function Check / settings—> Camera setting.
4. Держим 5 секунд “Steering Angle Settings”—> Next ( в правом нижнем углу )
5. Убедившись что руль / колёса стоят ровно, подтверждаем системе что авто стоит ровно —> “Steering Center Memorize”
После чего начинаем крутить руль вправо до упора, потом влево до упора и задерживаем его ( до упора в лево ) и нажимаем “Max Steering Angle Memorize” и возвращаем руль в ровное положение.
6. После этого нажимаем на дисплеe “ Back” не кротко раз пока не выйдет в самое начало Service Menu. После чего глушим автомобиль ��, заводим, включаем заднюю передачу и наслаждаемся активированной функцией RCD.

Сегодня снова сел акум, хотя год назад ставил новый, в общем появилась вот. ТАкая надпись при включении задней передачи « RCD не доступен» при этом все работает штатно включая парктроники ( лично все проверил ) сейчас скинул клему, сижу жду попивая кофе, может из-за того что батарейка села прогюличило и все пройдёт 😅?
Кто сталкивался ?🤷🏻♂️
после замены АКБ, по совету ViltonV6 и SLAY1986 включил заднюю передачу и покрутил от упора до упора рулем, все прошло .
Большое вам спасибо.

WARNING
■
When using the intuitive parking
assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●
Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●
The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●
Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
●
The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
■
When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
●
The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole, wireless antenna or fog lights.
●
The front or rear bumper or a sensor
receives a strong impact.
●
A non-genuine Lexus suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
●
Towing eyelets are installed.
●
A backlit licence plate is installed.

●
The vehicle speed is less than about 6
mph (10 km/h).
●
A shift position other than P is selected.
■
Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the
multi-information display. (
P.256)
■
If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean
Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on
the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low
temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal.
■
Sensor detection information
●
The following situations may occur
during use.
• The sensors may be able to only detect
objects near the front and rear bumpers.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• There will be a short delay between
object detection and display. Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due
to the volume of the audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if
buzzers for other systems are sounding.
■
Conditions under which the function
may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability
of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-
ticular instances where this may occur are
listed below.
●
There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
●
A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will
resolve this problem.)
WARNING
■
When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer.
●
The intuitive parking assist operation
display flashes or shows continuously,
and a buzzer sounds when no objects
are detected.
●
If the area around a sensor collides
with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
●
If the bumper or grille collides with
something.
●
If the display flashes or is displayed
continuously and a buzzer does not
sound, except when the mute function
has been turned on.
●
If a display error occurs, first check the
sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is
no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●
When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●
When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
260
4-5. Using the driving support systems
LS500_OM_(U)_1809
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the sensor display may be dis-
played abnormally, or objects, such as a
wall, may not be detected.
●
A sensor is covered in any way.
●
When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold.
●
On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●
The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to
vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
●
There is another vehicle equipped with
parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
●
A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain.
●
If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a flooded
road.
●
If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●
The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb.
●
If objects draw too close to the sensor.
■
Objects which may not be properly
detected
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●
Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●
Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●
Sharply-angled objects
●
Low objects
●
Tall objects with upper sections project-
ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.

Buzzer operation and distance to
an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are
operating.
The buzzer beeps faster as the vehi-
cle approaches an object. When the
vehicle comes within the following
distance of the object, the buzzer
sounds continuously:
Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
When 2 or more objects are
detected simultaneously, the buzzer
sounds for the nearest object. If one
or more objects come within
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the
vehicle, the buzzer will repeat a long
tone, followed by fast beeps.
Automatic buzzer mute function:
After a buzzer begins sounding, if
the distance between the vehicle
and the detected object does not
become shorter, the buzzer will be
muted automatically. (However, if
the distance between the vehicle
and object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less,
this function will not operate.)
The buzzer sounds volume can be
adjusted. (

WARNING
■
Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplemen-
tary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle. As the
RCTA function may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety
is necessary. Over reliance on this func-
tion may lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.
