You do not state which model year your RX350 is, however, am guessing that the 2nd Generation model RX350 did not have this as a feature here in the States. Believe this started with the 3rd Generation RX350 with the 2010 model year.

I checked the US Owner's Manuals for that model and cannot find any information on Parking Assist.

Perhaps the sensor(s) you are seeing are for the dynamic laser cruise control.

Different regions of the world have different packages available to them. It is possible that while it looks like you might have that feature it may not have been installed with the packages which came with your RX. Or, perhaps your RX was brought in from outside your region and from an area where this feature was not available.

Here is an existing thread I easily found here on this topic:

You might try contacting Lexus corporate for your area or a local dealer to see if they can get you a printout for what was installed on your RX from the factory. If it says it was installed as part of a package you can work from there.

They should be more than happy to work with you to determine the nature of the problem.

Also, perhaps some of our buddies in Australia and other locations can chime in with additional information regarding what buttons or other indicators you might have to indicate if you have this feature or not. In Australia, for example, they have an interior motion detection feature not available in most areas.
