STARTING AND DRIVING
375
The back sensor only operates when the transmission is
in “R”, it checks the approximate distance to obstacles
close to the rear of the vehicle, and sounds a warning
depending on the distance.
1
Multi information display:
The indicator bars will come on depending on the
distance to the obstacle and will flash when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than about
35 cm (1.1 ft.).
2 Screen:
The indicator bars will come on in yellow depending on
the distance to the obstacle. When the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than about 35 cm (1.1
ft.), the yellow indicator bars will turn red.
Beeps:
As distance to the obstacle gets closer, the interval of the
intermittent sound gets shorter, and then finally to a continuous
sound when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than about 35 cm (1.1 ft.).
CAUTION
When backing up, be sure to confirm a safe distance
around your vehicle with your eyes to avoid an accident.
Numerous obstacles are detected on the front
and rear of the vehicle simultaneously
G31060
When obstacles are detected on the front and rear of the
vehicle at the same time; the multi information display
and screen illuminate their relevant indicator bars. And
beeps are as follows:
1
Obstacles detected on the front and rear of the
vehicle are not in areas where continuous beeping
should sound:

STARTING AND DRIVING
376The warning for the obstacle closer to the vehicle will be
issued.
The above illustration indicates the obstacle detected
by the back sensors is closer to the vehicle. So, the warning for
the obstacle detected by the back sensors will be given.
2 The obstacle detected on the front or rear of the
vehicle is in an area where continuous beeping
should sound:
If the possibility of collision with the obstacle is high as shown,
the system warns the driver by continuous beeping (repeating
6 intermittent beeps and one longer beep as one cycle).
3 Both obstacles detected on the front and rear of the
vehicle are in areas where continuous beeping
should sound:
If the possibility of collision with the obstacles is very high as
shown, the system warns the driver by continuous beeping
(repeating 2 quick beeps and one longer beep as one cycle).
CAUTION
It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of
audio or air flow noise of air conditioning. To avoid an
accident or injury, drive slowly using the brakes while
confirming a safe distance around your vehicle with
your eyes.

Be sure to confirm a safe distance around your vehicle
and drive slowly.

STARTING AND DRIVING
378The intuitive parking assist may not detect the following:
Thin objects such as wire or rope
Sound wave absorbing objects such as cotton or snow
Objects with a sharp edge
Tall objects with the upper part projected
Shorter objects
Intuitive parking assist failure warning
If an error is detected when the intuitive parking assist is
turned on, the vehicle symbol comes on or flashes with
beeping sounds.
At this time steering guidance is temporarily stopped.
However, the sensors functioning properly continue their
obstacle detection. For details, see “When the detection range
of the sensors is shorter” on page 381.
The intuitive parking assist failure warning display is not given
in either of the following operations:
Changing to another screen
Turning off the main switch for the intuitive parking assist
