Parallel parking assist mode operating conditions

●

In order to operate the parallel parking assist mode correctly, drive slowly (at
a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly stopped) parallel to the road (or
shoulder) while maintaining a distance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) to any
parked vehicles.

●

The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or higher.

●

The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible (



P. 528), guidance is not issued.

●

If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the parallel parking assist mode cannot be operated.

●

If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the par-
allel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.

●

Guidance will continue until the vehicle speed meets or exceeds approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 mph) or the function is turned off using the S-IPA switch.

■

Timing for pressing the S-IPA switch

In the following cases, the assist mode may also operate during the steps
taken to park using the parallel parking assist mode. However, in these
cases, conduct parking procedures according to the information on the multi-
information display.

●

In step

the S-IPA switch is pressed after already passing over the target

parking spot.
If the vehicle is not stopped in step

, pressing the S-IPA switch 1 time

while the vehicle is in motion allows you to select “Parallel Parking” and pro-
ceed directly to step

●

The vehicle is moved up to the position in step

without the S-IPA switch

being pressed. Then the S-IPA switch is pressed after having changed the
shift lever to R.

NOTICE

●

If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the parallel park-
ing assist mode.

●

When there is a wall or other obstacle on the inner side of the parking
space, or when another parked vehicle extends into the road from its park-
ing spot, the target parking spot may be set in a position that juts out
slightly into the road.

●

Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehicle alignment as necessary.

●

The system provides assistance to guide the vehicle based on position of
adjacent vehicles, even if there are obstacles, bumps, drops or curb
stones in the parking space.
If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the vehicle by depressing
the brake pedal, and then press the S-IPA switch to turn off the system.

●

It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground.
Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle
may make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal.

●

When  the  other  parked  vehicle  is  nar-
row  or  parked  extremely  close  to  the
curb,  assist  control  will  also  guide  the
vehicle to a position close to the curb.
If  it  seems  the  vehicle  may  make  con-
tact  with  the  curb  or  any  other  obsta-
cles,  or  if it  seems  the tire  position will
deviate from the intended parking spot,
stop  the  vehicle  by  depressing  the
brake  pedal,  and  then  press  the  S-IPA
switch to turn off the system.

Perpendicular parking assist mode operating conditions

●

In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped). Come to a full stop so that the center of
the parking space is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle, and then operate
the S-IPA switch.

●

The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or higher.

●

The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible (



P. 528), guidance is not issued.

●

If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the perpendicular parking assist mode cannot be operated.

●

If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the per-
pendicular parking assist mode may not be able to operate.

■

Tips for using the perpendicular parking assist mode

●

Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, if there is not enough space
in front of the vehicle required to perform
the parking operation, the target parking
spot may not be reachable.

Intended parking spot
Wall

Leave  a  gap  of  approximately  1  m
(3.3 ft.) from any parked vehicles and
approach  the  target  parking  spot.  If
the gap between your vehicle and any
parked vehicles is too large, the front
side  sensors  and  rear  side  sensors
may not be able to detect the parked
vehicles.

Stop  so  that  the  center  of  the  target
parking  spot  is  perpendicular  to  the
vehicle.  Furthermore,  only  push  the
S-IPA switch when the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
