becomes far, it may no longer be 

able to be detected. Depending on 

shape or condition of a parked 

vehicle, the detection range may 

become short or the vehicle may 

not be detected.

●

Objects other than parked vehi-

cles, such as columns, walls, etc., 

may not be detected. Also, if they 

are detected, they may cause the 

target parking space to be mis-

aligned.

■

Situations in which white park-

ing space lines may not be rec-

ognized properly

●

In situations such as the following, 

parking space lines on the road 

surface may not be detected:

• When the parking space does not 

use white lines (parking space 

boundaries are marked with rope, 

blocks, etc.)

• When the parking space lines are 

faded or dirty, making them 

unclear

• When the road surface is bright, 

such as concrete, and the contrast 

between it and the white parking 

space lines is small

• When the parking space lines are 

any color other than yellow or 

white

• When the area surrounding the 

parking space is dark, such as at 

night, in an underground parking 

lot, parking garage, etc.

• When it is raining or has rained 

and the road surface is wet and 

reflective or there are puddles

• When the sun is shining directly 

into a camera, such as in the early 

morning or evening

• When the parking space is cov-

ered with snow or de-icing agent

• When there marks from repairs or 

other marks on the road surface, 

or there is a traffic bollard, or other 

object on the road surface

• When the color or brightness of 

the road surface is uneven

• When a camera has been 

splashed by hot or cold water and 

the lens has fogged up

• When the appearance of the park-

ing space is affected by the 

shadow of the vehicle or trees

• When a camera lens is dirty or 

covered with water droplets

●

In situations such as the following, 

the target parking space may not 

be recognized correctly:

• When there marks from repairs or 

other marks on the road surface, 

or there is a parking block, traffic 

bollard, or other object on the road 

surface

• When it is raining or has rained 

and the road surface is wet and 

reflective or there are puddles

• When the area around the vehicle 

is dark or backlit

• When the color or brightness of 

the road surface is uneven

• When the parking space is on a 

slope

• When there are diagonal lines 

(access aisle) near the parking 

space

• When the appearance of the park-

ing space is affected by the 

shadow of a parked vehicle (such 

as shadows from the grille, side 

step, etc.)

• When accessories which obstruct 

the view of the camera are 

installed

• When the parking space lines are 

faded or dirty, making them 

unclear

• When the appearance of the park-

ing space is affected by the 

shadow of the vehicle or trees

on the condition of the parking 
space, etc., if it is necessary to 
change the direction of travel of 
the vehicle, the shift position can 
be changed by assistance con-
