■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in the IGNITION ON mode.
■When the system malfunctions
●If a malfunction occurs and no obstacles have been detected, a warning is dis-
played, and a malfunction beep sounds for 7 seconds.
If an obstacle has been detected, or another malfunction occurs in a different
sensor, the malfunction beeps will not sound.
●In the following circumstances the displayed warning will disappear:
• If you switch the screen to a different mode.
• If you turn off the intuitive parking assist main switch.
• If the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Once the vehicle speed dropsbelow 6 mph (10 km/h), the warning will be displayed again.
●If the malfunction screen is displayed, the detection range of the dual sensors is
shortened. In this case, the necessity for obstacle evasion (whether the obstacle
will come within 0.8 ft. [25 cm] of the vehicle or not) will not be calculated.
■When using the intuitive parking assist
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving for-
ward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides
of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s
speed.
• The sensors’ detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s frontand rear bumpers.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within 0.8 ft. (25
cm) of the vehicle before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
• Braking distance may differ according to the road conditions (rain, gravel etc.).
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow noise of air conditioning system.
• For long obstacles such as walls, the obstacle warning may change as the obstacle gets closer.
