QFunction summary
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control starting position, and then the pa rallel
parking assist mode can be used. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assi st
control is also provided if necessary.
Continue moving forward
with the vehicle parallel to
the curb or road, and stop so
that the center of the target
parking spot appears nearly
perpendicular to the vehicle.
Then press the S-IPA switch
1 time to select the parallel
parking assist mode.
Travel straight ahead paral-
lel with the road or curb so
that the parking space is
detected.
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position where assist control can be used to
begin backing up from, and then when the shift position is
changed according to guidance provided by the system, steering
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the si de of the
road across from the parking spac e) is narrow, or if there are obstacles
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode. Depending on the condition of t he
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward a nd back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repea ted any
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step from t he
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.

QParallel parking assist mode operating conditions
OIn 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 (3.3ft.) to any
parked vehicles.
OThe function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or higher.
OThe 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. 507), guidance is not issued.
OIf there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the parallel parking assist mode cannot be operated.
OIf unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the par-
allel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
OGuidance 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.
QTiming 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.
OIn 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
proceed directly to step .
OThe 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 position to R.

NOTICE
OIf the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an an gle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the p arallel park-
ing assist mode.
O 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 fro m its park-
ing spot, the target parking spot may be set in a position that juts out
slightly into the road.
O 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 vehi cle alignment as necessary.
O 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 d epressing
the brake pedal, and then press the S-IPA switch to turn off th e system.
O 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 ve hicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing t he brake
pedal.
O 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.
