LEXUS Assist warning
The other day I was driving my 2010 IS250C and entered a road where a large bush was situated right alongside it. When my car had almost cleared the entry, the Lexus Park Assist screen lit up on my Nav screen. This is the first time this has happened in 5 years of owning car. Has this ever happened to anybody else?

It's an aid for parallel parking. For cars equipped with this option, there are sensors on the front and back bumpers; it beeps slowly as you approach an object, and beeps faster when you get real close. There is also a graphic display with bars that indicate how far away you are.
The one on the back bumper works very well, but isn't really needed because the car has a backup camera. The one on the front bumper has fewer sensors and doesn't work nearly as well. I'm sure I'd have tapped a few bumpers if I'd relied on it.

Then again, you may just want to leave it turned off. Between it beeping for wintertime ice and slush buildup on the bumper, beeping as you drive past the poles that keep you from sideswiping the ATM, and other things in the environment, it sometimes seems more of a nuisance than a help.
