Description of On-Board Diagnostics

DESCRIPTION

- The LEXUS Night View System uses a camera to capture reflected near-infrared light off objects illuminated by the Night View Projectors, headlights and surrounding light. The camera is connected to the Night View ECU which uses a display to project the images on the windshield.
- The operation of the system is permitted only when the ignition, headlight and Night View Switches are ON, and the light control sensor of the Automatic Light Control System has determined that the surroundings of the vehicle are dark.
- The Night View Projectors operate only when the vehicle is being driven over 6 km/h (4 mph) when the system is operating. They turn OFF when the vehicle comes to a stop, under 3 km/h (2 mph).

HINT: The projectors can be checked when the vehicle is stopped using the Inspection Mode Operation.

- Depending on lighting conditions, the weather and cleanliness of the front glass, camera lens and projectors, all objects may not be displayed as bright images. Clean as necessary to improve image quality. Sensitivity can be adjusted to compensate as necessary by turning the Night View Switch knob.
- Since the Night View Display uses a TFT display, it may become dark when the temperature or battery voltage is low. The display should return to normal when the temperature rises to about 15 - 20 °C (59 - 68 °F) and operating voltage is normal.
- In cold weather, using the heater in "FOOT" mode may cause fogging on the upper part of the front glass. In this case, use the "DEF" mode to clear the glass.
