When using the memory

function

●

The memory function is a func-

tion which provides assistance

in parking in a previously regis-

tered parking space.

If the condition of the road sur-

face, vehicle, or surrounding

area differs from when registra-

tion was performed, the parking

space may not be able to be

detected correctly or assis-

tance may not be provided to

the point that the vehicle is fully

parked.

●

Do not register a parking space

in situations such as the follow-

ing, as the set parking space

may not be able to be registered

or assistance may not be possi-

ble later.

• When a camera lens is dirty or

covered with water droplets

• When it is raining or snowing

• When the surrounding area is

dark (at night, etc.)

●

In situations such as the follow-

ing, it may not be possible to

• When there is insufficient space

between the road and parking

space

• When the road surface around

the parking space does not

have any differences the sys-

tem can recognize

●

If a parking space has been reg-

istered in situations such as the

following, assistance may not

be able to be started later or

assistance to the registered

position may not be possible.

• When shadows are cast on the

parking space (there is a carport

over the parking space, etc.)

• When there are leaves, gar-

bage, or other objects which will

likely move, in the parking

space

• When the road surface around

the parking space has the same

repeating pattern (brick, etc.)

●

In situations such as the follow-

ing, it may not be possible for

the system to provide assis-

tance to a registered parking

spot:

• When the appearance of the

parking space is affected by the

shadow of the vehicle or trees

• When an object is detected in

the registered parking space

• When a pedestrian or passing

vehicle is detected during assis-

tance

Function description

A smartphone can be used to
remotely operate the parking
functions and exit functions.
Also, assistance can be pro-
vided to remotely move the vehi-
cle forward or backward into a
garage, etc.

NOTICE

• When the position the vehicle is

stopped when assistance is

started differs from the position

when registration was per-

formed

• When the registered parking

space cannot be reached due to

the existence of parking blocks,

etc.

• When the road surface around

the parking space has changed

(road surface has degraded or

been resurfaced)

• When the sunlight conditions

differ from when registration

was performed (due to weather

or time of day)

• When the sun is shining directly

into a camera, such as in the

early morning or evening

• When the color or brightness of

the road surface is uneven

• When a light is temporarily

shined on the parking space

slope

• When a camera has been

splashed by hot or cold water

and the lens has fogged up

• When a camera lens is dirty or

covered with water droplets

• When accessories which

obstruct the view of the camera

are installed

If assistance is ended during reg-

istration, perform registration

again.

●

When registering a parking

space to the memory function, if

the road surface cannot be

detected “No available parking

space to register” will be dis-

played.

●

When using the memory func-

tion, make sure to stop immedi-

ately in front of the stop

position. Otherwise the parking

space may not be able to be

detected correctly or assis-

Parking using Remote con-
trol function

A smartphone can be used to
remotely operate the parking
function if the target parking
space can be detected when the
vehicle is stopped close and
perpendicular to the center of
the parking space. Also,
depending on the condition of
the parking space, etc., if it is
necessary to change the direc-
tion of travel of the vehicle, the
shift position can be changed by
assistance control.

Stop the vehicle with it
aligned near the center of the
target parking space.

Changing the direction of travel

While assistance is being per-

formed, the direction of travel of the

vehicle can be changed by the for-

ward and reverse movement func-

tion. When there is a wall behind the

vehicle, etc., by operating the direc-

tion of travel changing button on the

screen of the smartphone, the vehi-

cle can be slightly moved forward to

allow loading of items and then

moved back to its original position.

Assistance can be provided to
exit from a perpendicular or par-
allel parking space when the
power switch OFF. When for-
ward and backward movement
is selected, the maximum dis-
tance the vehicle can move is
23.0 ft. (7 m) from the starting
point and possible to change the
direction of travel.

While near the parked vehi-
