Detection of objects along the

sides of the vehicle

●

Objects along the sides of the

vehicle are not instantaneously

detected. The location of objects

in relation to the vehicle is esti-

mated after they are first detected

by the front or rear side sensors,

or side cameras. Therefore, after

the power switch is changed to

ON, even if an object is along the

side of the vehicle, it may not be

detected until the vehicle has

been driven a small amount and

the side sensors or side cameras

completely scan the areas along

the sides of the vehicle.

: If equipped

The Advanced Park is a system
which assists in safely and
smoothly parking in a target
parking space by displaying the
blind spots around the vehicle
and the parking spot through a
bird’s eye view, delivering oper-
ation guidance through displays
and buzzer operation, and
changing the shift position,
operating the steering wheel,
accelerator pedal, and brake
pedal.
Additionally, the panoramic view
monitor can display the area in
front, behind, and from above
the vehicle, helping confirm the
condition of the area around the
vehicle.
For details on the panoramic
view monitor refer to “MULTIME-
DIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.
Depending on the condition of
the road surface or the vehicle,
the distance between the vehi-
cle and a parking space, etc., it
may not be possible to assist in
parking in the target space.

WARNING

●

When parking, make sure that

the vehicle can be parked in the

target parking space before

beginning operation.

●

Depending on the condition of

the road surface or the vehicle,

the distance between the vehi-

cle and a parking space, etc., it

may not be possible to detect a

parking space or the system

may not be able to provide

assistance to the point the vehi-

cle is fully parked.

●

This system will guide the vehi-

cle to appropriate positions for

changing the direction of travel,

however, if you feel that the

vehicle is approaching too close

to an adjacent parked vehicle at

any time, depress the brake

pedal and change the shift posi-

tion. However, if this is per-

formed, the number of times the

vehicle changes direction may

increase, and the vehicle may

be parked at an angle.
