Default Errors after battery died!

The battery in my LS 500 died due to the vehicle not being used for a couple weeks. After I recharged the battery, a bunch of warning indicators related to driver assistance safety features appeared. All of them eventually cleared except for the rear camera detection. Does anybody know how to resolve this warning? Does the camera need to be recalibrated or will it resolve itself in time. Thanks in advance!

Solved. Turn steering wheel all the way left, then all the way right to self calibrate. Who would have thought. 😁

Make sure to drive it half an hour on the freeway if possible weekly to prevent this moving forward!

Also might want to get a battery tender, it’s what I use for winter in my garage.

I have a tender but forgot to connect. Do you connect directly to battery terminals (located in trunk). Reason I ask is tender case got really hot!

I had the dealership install the hard connectors to battery, as when I tried to do it they literally melted the line so decided to let dealership install for me. They didn’t charge me for the install. And I have a Lexus tender box but the old one I had use to get hot as well, never ran into an issue.
