WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function is only an assist and is not a replace-
ment for careful driving. The driver must be careful when backing up, even
when using the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function. The driver’s own visual
confirmation of behind you and your vehicle is necessary and be sure there
are no pedestrians, other vehicles etc. before backing up. Failure to do so
could cause death or serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

Driving
When the vehicle is almost entirely within the target parking spot,
a high-pitched beep is emitted and the stop display is shown on
the display, stop the vehicle.
This completes the parallel parking assist mode.
● After stopping, feel free to maneuver the vehicle to reach the
desired parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and
rear of the vehicle directly and by using the mirrors.
■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 3 ft. (1 m) to any
parked vehicles.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) 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. 475), 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 19 mph (30 km/h) or the function is turned off using the S-APGS
switch.
■ Timing for pressing the S-APGS 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-APGS switch is pressed after already passing over the tar-
get parking spot.
If the vehicle is not stopped in step , pressing the S-APGS switch 1 time
while the vehicle is in motion allows you to select “Parallel Parking” and
proceed directly to step .
● The vehicle is moved up to the position in step without the S-APGS
switch being pressed. Then the S-APGS switch is pressed after having
changed the shift position to R.

WARNING
●Do not rely solely upon the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System.
As with unequipped vehicles, move forward and back up carefully while
directly confirming the safety of your surroundings and the area to the rear
of the vehicle.
● Do not back up while viewing the multi-information display. Backing up
while only viewing the monitor screen may cause a collision or lead to an
accident, as the image displayed on the monitor screen may differ from
actual conditions. Make sure to visually check the surrounding areas and
the area to the rear of the vehicle with and without the mirror while backing
up.
● Drive slowly while adjusting your speed by depressing the brake pedal
when backing up or moving forward.
● If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, another vehi-
cle or any other obstacles, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal,
and then press the S-APGS switch to turn off the system.
● Use the system in a parking lot with a flat surface.
● Observe the following precautions, as the steering wheel automatically
turns during use.
• There is risk of a necktie, scarf, your arm, etc. being caught on the
steering wheel. Please do not allow your upper body to be close to the
steering wheel. Also, do not allow children close to the steering wheel.
• There is a possibility of injury when the steering wheel turns if you have long fingernails.
• In case of an emergency, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, and then press the S-APGS switch to turn off the system.
● Always confirm that there is appropriate space before attempting to park
the vehicle and operate the system.

Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let the fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● In order to suppress odors that occur when the air conditioning system
starts, fresh air is automatically taken in when parked.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring, the start timing of the blower may
be delayed for a short period of time i mmediately after the air conditioning
system is started in automatic mode.
■ Air conditioning filter

■ Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C auto switching operation) can be changed. (Customizable
features: →P. 732)
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use
during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■ To prevent burns
Do not touch the rear view mirror surf aces when the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are on.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
