256INTUITIVE PARKING ASSIST
ES350_Navi_U (L/O 0603)
The Intuitive parking assist is a warning
system used when parking the vehicle
at low speed (e.g. into a garage). It uses
an ultrasonic sensor, which checks the
approximate distance to an obstacle. It
will inform you of the approximate dis-
tance to an obstacle by displaying in-
formation on the multi-information dis-
play and the screen, and with beeping
sounds.
1Front corner sensors
There is one of these installed on each cor-
ner of the front bumper, they inspect ob-
stacles and will sound a warning depend-
ing on the distance to the obstacle. (See
Ð Front corner sensorsº on page 258.)
2Rear corner sensors
There is one of these installed on each cor-
ner of the rear bumper, they inspect ob-
stacles and will sound a warning depend-
ing on the distance to the obstacle. (See
Ð Rear corner sensorsº on page 259.)
3Back sensors
There are two of these installed near the
center of the rear bumper, they inspect ob-
stacles and will sound a warning depend-
ing on the distance to the obstacle. (See
Ð Back sensorsº on page 260.)
To use the Intuitive parking assist, with
the engine switch in IG-ONº mode,
push the Intuitive parking assist but-
ton. Pushing the Intuitive parking as-
sist button again will turn the Intuitive
parking assist off.
When ON, an indicator on the switch
comes on to inform the driver that the func-
tion is operational.
The Intuitive parking assist will remain on
even after turning the engine switch to
OFFº and then to IG-ONº mode with the
main switch on. However, a beep does not
sound at this time.
If an error is detected in the Intuitive park-
ing assist while self-checking, beeps
sound and a warning appears in the multi-
information display and on the screen. For
details, see Ð Intuitive parking assist fail-
ure warningº on page 263.
