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

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.

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.

The detection area of the electronic 

key is within approximately 9.8 ft. (3 

m) around the vehicle.
If there is an obstruction in the path 

of the vehicle, move it before park-

NOTICE

• 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-

tance may not be provided to 

the point that the vehicle is fully 

parked.

Do not use the memory function 

if a camera has been subjected 

to a strong impact or images of 

the panoramic view monitor are 

misaligned.

If a camera has been replaced, 

as the installation angle of the 

camera will have changed, it will 

be necessary to reregister park-

ing spaces of the memory func-

tion.

X-MODE

*

This mode has improved 
road handling ability off 
roads.

Select between the 2 types 
of mode, SNOW/DIRT and 
D.SNOW/MUD.

During “X-MODE”, the 
downhill assist control will 
control the brakes to main-
tain a constant vehicle 
speed when driving on 
steep descents.

Grip Control supports the 
driver’s operation by main-
taining a low vehicle speed 
on steep inclines and slip-
pery roads without having 
to step on the accelerator 
pedal or brake pedal.

WARNING

Be sure to observe the follow-

ing before using “X-MODE”

If not observed, there is the dan-

ger that it may lead to an unex-

pected accident.

Drive the vehicle after checking 

that the SNOW/DIRT indica-

tor/D.SNOW/MUD indicator 

turns on.

“X-MODE” is not a device that 

enhances the limited perfor-

mance of the vehicle. Carefully 

check the road surface condi-

tions and the driving route in 

advance, and then drive with 

caution.
