1Check that the assist mode switch is
ON.
2Move your vehicle slowly to a position
perpendicular to the parking space,
and as close as possible to the parking
space.
3Move your vehicle to a position where
you can see the center of the parking
space right besides you.
 If only a vehicle is parked on one side of
the parking space or two vehicles are
parked on both sides of the parking
space
Move your vehicle to a position from which
the exact center of the parking space can
be seen beside you before beginning to
turn the steering wheel.
 Positioning the vehicle perpendicular to
the parking space allows the angle of the
parking position to be identified easily.
 To facilitate the setting of the target park-
ing position, the front side sensors detect
the vehicles parked at the left and right of
the parking space and identify the target
parking position.

9Once the vehicle is mostly within the
target parking position, voice guidance
will give a message, and parking assist
mode will finish.
For safety, voice guidance is given slightly
before the target parking position. Further-
more, at that point system control will fin-
ish, so grip the steering wheel firmly, and
finish parking in the desired position, using
the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
 Using the distance guide line as a refer-
ence, check in front and behind the vehi-
cle visually and check with the mirrors
while backing up.
The system decides the initial position-
ing of the blue frame by the position of
the parking space detected by the front
side sensors or the position of the vehi-
cle when it stops, and by detecting the
white lines of the parking space in the
camera image to identify the parking
space location.
The front side sensors identify the park-
ing space location and the white lines
near that location are detected.
The front side sensors cannot identify
the parking space location, or the park-
ing space location may be misaligned in
the following situations.
A vehicle is parked at the back of the park-
ing space or the sensors cannot detect a
parked vehicle due to vehicle shape etc.
 The sensors cannot detect a pole or wall
beside the parking space.
 The sensors detect a pedestrian or object
near the parking space.

1Check that the assist mode switch is
ON.
2Move your vehicle slowly to a position
parallel to the road or shoulder approx-
imately 3 ft. (1 m) away from parked
vehicles.
3Stop your vehicle in a position where
you can see the front edge of the lead-
ing parked vehicle right beside you,
with the steering wheel straight.
To facilitate the setting of the target park-
ing position, the front side sensors detect
the vehicles parked in front of and behind
the parking space and identify the target
parking position.
 If there is no leading parked vehicle, the
system will display the target parking posi-
tion (blue or red frame) in the position
used last time the parallel parking assist
mode was activated.

CAUTION
●A sensor may not operate properly in the
following situations:
• There is ice, snow or mud on the sen-
sor. (When it is removed, the normal
operation will return.)
• The sensor is frozen. (When the sen- sor warms up, it will return to normal.)
At low temperatures in particular, sen-
sors that are frozen may not detect a
parked vehicle.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• When the vehicle is tilted.
• In extreme hot or cold weather.
• When driving on bumpy roads, slopes, gravelled roads or grass.
• Devices issuing ultrasonic waves are operated around your vehicle, such as
a horn from another vehicle, motorcy-
cle engine, air braking sound from
heavy-duty vehicles.
• When rain or water is splashed over the vehicle.
• When a radio antenna or fender pole is mounted on your vehicle.
• The sensor approaches too close to a parked vehicle.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
● Do not attach any accessories within the
detection range of the sensors.
