Muting a buzzer temporarily

●

When an object is detected, the
temporary mute switch is dis-
played on the Multimedia Display.
Select the switch to mute a buzzer
of the intuitive parking assist,
RCTA (if equipped), and RCD (if
equipped) all together.

●

Mute will be automatically can-
celed in the following situations.

• When the shift position is

changed.

• When the vehicle speed exceeds

a certain speed.

• When there is a malfunction in a

sensor or the system is temporar-
ily unavailable.

• When the operating function is

disabled manually.

• When the power switch is turned

off.

The object warning function
informs the driver of the exis-
tence of objects along the side
of the vehicle, using a display
and buzzer, if the objects are
within the estimated path of the
vehicle.

Object

Calculated vehicle route

When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can
detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the object
warning function will operate.

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras

The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle
are not detected.

Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.

Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a
buzzer sounds.

■

The intuitive parking assist
object warning function is oper-
ational when

●

The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.
(7 m) after the hybrid system is
started.

●

The R shift position is selected.

●

After the shift position has been
changed from R to D, the vehicle

has moved approximately 23.0 ft.

■

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 a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is

detected by a side sensors or side

cameras, but then leaves the

detection area of the side sensors

or side cameras, the system will

assume the object has not moved.

WARNING

■

Side sensors and side cam-

eras

In situations such as the following,

the function may not operate cor-

rectly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent. Proceed carefully.

●

When starting off shortly after

the power switch is turned to

ON and a small vehicle or other

object which cannot be detected

by a front side sensor is next to

the vehicle.

In the situation shown in the fol-

lowing illustration, even if the

vehicle starts off, the vehicle on

the left will not be detected and

the object warning function will

not operate.

●

When an object or person is in a

position which cannot be

detected by the side sensors or

side cameras.

●

When, after the side sensors

have completed scanning the

areas along the sides of the

vehicle, a vehicle, person, or

other object approaches the

side of the vehicle and cannot

be detected.

●

When the outside rear view mir-

ror is closed, the side sensors

or side cameras cannot detect

objects.

●

If the 12-volt battery was dis-

charged or has been removed

and installed, fold and extend

the outside rear view mirrors.

bumper. This function is

intended to assist the driver

in checking areas that are

not easily visible when

backing up.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

The driver is solely responsible for

safe driving. Always drive safely,

taking care to observe your sur-

roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-

plementary function which alerts

the driver that a vehicle is

approaching from the right or left

at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not

function correctly under certain

conditions, the driver’s own visual

confirmation of safety is neces-

sary.
Over reliance on this function may

lead to an accident resulting

death or serious injury.

PKSB (Parking Sup-

port Brake)

The PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) is a system that
issues warnings and auto-
matically performs braking
to help reduce collision
damage with operation tar-
gets that were detected
when traveling at a low
speed such as when park-
ing.

This system consists of the
following functions: a Park-
ing Support Brake function
(static objects to the front
and rear) that detects static
objects such as walls, a
Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing

vehicles)

that detects vehi-

cles approaching from the
rear while backing up, a
Parking Support Brake

function (rear pedestrians)

that detects pedestrians
behind the vehicle, and a
Parking Support Brake
function (static objects
around the vehicle) (vehi-
cles with Advanced Park)
that detects static objects
around the vehicle.

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

Do not overly rely on the system,

as doing so may lead to an acci-

dent.

Always drive while checking the

safety of the surroundings of the

vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and

road conditions, weather, etc., the

system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sen-

sors and radars are limited.

Always drive while checking the

safety of the surroundings of the

●

The driver is solely responsible

for safe driving. Always drive

carefully, taking care to observe

your surroundings. The Parking

Support Brake system is

designed to provide support to

lessen the severity of collisions.

However, it may not operate in

some situations.

●

The Parking Support Brake sys-

tem is not designed to stop the

vehicle completely. Addition-

ally, even if the system has

stopped the vehicle, it is neces-

sary to depress the brake pedal

immediately as brake control

will be canceled after approxi-

mately 2 seconds.

If the vehicle is stopped due to oper-
ation of the Parking Support Brake,
the Parking Support Brake will be
disabled and the driving assist infor-
mation indicator will illuminate. In
addition, even when the PKSB
(Parking Support Brake) operates,
the brake control is canceled after
approximately 2 seconds to start off.
Furthermore, the brake control also
can be canceled by depressing the
brake pedal. Depressing the accel-
erator pedal again after that allows
the vehicle to start off.

●

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 a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side
cameras, but then leaves the
detection area of the side sensors
or side cameras, the system will
assume the object has not moved.

: If equipped

The Advanced Park is a system
which assists in a safe and
smooth parking or exiting from a
parking space by displaying the
blind spots around the vehicle
and the target parking spot
through a bird’s eye view, deliv-
ering operation 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.

The turn signal lights will blink
automatically when the parking
assistance starts until the vehi-
cle reaches the target parking
spot, to notify people around the
vehicle that parking is being per-
formed.

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

■

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

The recognition and control capa-

bilities for this system are limited.

The driver should always drive

safety by always being responsi-

ble without over relying on the

system and have a understanding

of the surrounding situations.

●

As with a normal vehicle, take

care to observe your surround-

ings while the vehicle is moving.

●

Always pay attention to the

vehicle’s surroundings while the

system is operating and

depress the brake pedal as nec-

essary to slow or stop the vehi-

cle.

●

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.

WARNING

●

As following objects may not be

detected, make sure to check

the safety of the area around

your vehicle and depress the

brake pedal to stop the vehicle if

it may collide with an object.

• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi-

als that absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects
• Low objects (curb stones, park-

ing blocks, etc.)

• Tall objects with upper sections

projecting outwards in the direc-

tion of your vehicle

●

Even if there is an object in the

target parking space, it may not

be detected and assistance

may be performed.

lead to an accident, such as a

collision with another vehicle.

When backing up, make sure to

look directly or use the mirrors

to check the safety of the area

around your vehicle, especially

behind the vehicle.

●

When the ambient temperature

is extremely low, the screen

may appear dark or the dis-

played image may become

unclear. Also, as moving

objects may appear distorted or

may not be able to be seen on

the screen, make sure to

directly check the safety of the

area around your vehicle.

●

the vehicle is stopped and held

by Advanced Park, it may be

canceled and the vehicle may

start moving. Immediately

depress the brake pedal. Fail-

ure to do so may lead to an

accident.

• When the driver’s door is

opened

• When operations instructed by

the system are not performed

within a certain amount of time

• When the brake pedal is

depressed and the vehicle is

stopped for a certain amount of

time

• When the system malfunctions

●

As the steering wheel will turn

while this system is operating,

pay attention to the following.

• Be careful so that a necktie,

scarf, or arm does not get
