●A sensor is covered in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around 
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on 
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy 
due to vehicle horns, motorcycle 
engines, air brakes of large vehi-
cles, or other loud noises produc-
ing ultrasonic waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped 
with parking assist sensors in the 
vicinity.
●A sensor is coated  with a sheet of 
spray or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount 
of water, such as when driving on 
a flooded road.
●If the vehicle is sig nificantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall 
or curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the 
sensor.
■Objects which may not be prop-
erly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it. 
Pay particular attention to the follow-
ing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials 
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections 
projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they 
are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.
■Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device complies with 
Canadian ICES-001.
■Detection range of the sen-
sors
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 
cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 
cm)
Approximately 2.1 ft. (63 cm)
The diagram shows the detection 
range of the sensors. Note that the 
sensors cannot detect objects that 
are extremely clos e to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may 
change depending on the shape of 
the object, etc.
■Distance display
When an object is detected by a sensor, the approximate distanc e to 
the object will be displayed on th e multi-information display, naviga-
tion system (if equipped) or multimedia system (if equipped) sc reen. 
(As the distance to the object becomes short, the distance segm ents

■Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive 
parking assist syste m is enabled or 
not ( P.291), if the Parking Support 
Brake function (static objects) is 
enabled ( P.298), the fr ont or rear 
sensors detect an object and brake 
control and hybrid system output 
restriction control are performed, the 
intuitive parking assist buzzer will 
sound to notify the driver of the 
approximate distanc e to the object.
■Situations in which the Parking 
Support Brake function (static 
objects) may operate even if 
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
In some situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the Parking Support Brake 
function (static objects) may operate 
even though there is no possibility of 
a collision.
●Vehicle surroundings

• Devices for detecting vehicles, 
such as traffic lights, devices for 
detecting traffic congestion, or 
devices for detecting empty 
spaces in parking areas
• Railroad tracks
• H-shaped steel
• When there are vehicles on both  sides, or there is  a vehicle that 
resembles this vehicle
●Weather
• If a sensor is covered with ice,  snow, dirt, etc. (when cleared, the 
system will return to normal)
• If heavy rain or water strikes a  sensor
• When driving in inclement weather 
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
• Strong wind is blowing
●Other sonic wave sources
• When vehicle horns, vehicle  detectors, motorcycle engines, air 
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of ot her vehicles or 
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
• If a sticker or an electronic compo- nent, such as a backlit license 
plate (especially fluorescent type),

●Changes in the vehicle posture
• If the vehicle is significantly tilted
• If the front of the vehicle is raised  or lowered due to the carried load
• If the orientation of a sensor has  been changed due t o a collision or 
other impact
■Situations in which the Parking 
Support Brake function (static 
objects) may not operate prop-
erly
In some situations, such as the fol-
lowing, this function may not oper-
ate properly.
