■Intuitive parking assist switch
Press the intuitive parking assist switch to turn the system on/off.
The indicator light will come
on when the intuitive parking
as
sist is turned ON.
You can use the system if the
engine switch is in the “IG-ON”
mode. 
If intuitive parking assist is ON,
the s
ystem will operate under
the following conditions;
• The dual sensors will oper -
ate if the shift lever is in a
position
other than “R” or
“P”.
• All corner sensors and the back sensors will oper
ate if
the shift lever is in “R”.

Multi-information display and touch screen
If the sensors detect an obstacle, it is displayed on the multi-information
display in the instrument cluster. 
You can change the conditions und er which information is display
ed on
the touch screen. ( P. 1 5 0 )

Display distance and beeps
When the intuitive parking assist is activated, the approximate distance to
the obstacle is displayed. Also, if an obstacle with which a collision is pos-
sible is detected, a warning beep will sound.

Beeps and obstacle distance
A beep sounds when an obstacle with which there is a danger of collision
is detected. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the interval of
the beep becomes shorter.
● When the follo
wing obstacle distan ces are reached, the beep changes
from intermittent to continuous:
• If the distance to the obstacle detected by the dual sensors or rear corner
sensors is less than 0.8 ft. (25 cm).
• If the distance to the obstacle detected by the back sensors is less than 1.1 f
t. (35 cm).
●If obstacles are detected by the dual sensors in 2 places at once, or if
both rear corner sensors detect obst acles at the same time, the system
will sound a warning beep for the closer of the 2 obstacles.
● If multiple obstacles ar
e detected in front and behind th e vehicle at the
same time, the warning beep will change in the following manner:
• If an obstacle has been detected within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of the front or rear
of the vehicle (a continuous beep is sounding), and a new obstacle is
detected near a different area of th e vehicle, the warning beep will sound
6 beeps then one continuous beep.
• If an obstacle has been detected within 0
.8 ft. (25 cm) of the front or rear
of the vehicle (a continuous beep is sounding), and a new obstacle is
detected within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of a different area of the vehicle, the warn -
ing beeps will sound 2 beeps then one continuous beep
.
●You can change the volume of the warning beeps. ( P. 1 5 0 )

If obstacles move too close to the
sensors, they
will not be detected. 
