When driving
Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
Intuitive parking assist uses sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle to
detect the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles, and informs the
driver of this distance using the mult i-information display, the touch screen,
and warning beeps. 
The system may be used at speeds less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Sensor types
Dual sensors
There are 4 sensors installed in the front bumper, two in the center section
to detect obstacles directly ahead, an d one in each corner of the bumper,
to detect obstacles in those areas. 
The dual sensors detect obstacles ahea d of the vehicle, and judge whether
avoidance maneuvers are necessary (whether the obstacle will come
within 0.8 ft. [25 cm] of the vehicl e), according to the distance between
the obstacle and the vehicle, and the steering wheel position. The screen
display and beeps will change accordingly.
Rear corner sensors
These sensors detect obstacles around the rear corners of the vehicle.
Back sensors
These sensors detect obstacles behind the vehicle.

■Intuitive parking assist switch
Press the switch to turn the
system on/off.
If the intuitive parking assist is
turned on, the indicator light will
come on, and the system 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 operate if
the shift lever is in “R”.

Multi-information display and touch screenIf the sensors detect an obstacle, it is displayed on the multi-information
display in the instrument cluster. 
You can change the conditions under which informa tion is displayed on
the touch screen. ( P. 155)

Sensor detection display, obstacle distance and beepsWhen 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.
■ Dual sensor
• If the shift lever is in “R”, only th e corner sensors will detect obstacles.
