CAUTION
Be sure to stop the vehicle parallel to
the road or shoulder. If the vehicle is
not parallel, the assist location will be
very near the shoulder. If it looks like
the vehicle will hit or mount the
shoulder, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle, and touch on
the screen to deactivate the system.
If there is no leading parked vehicle, the
system will display the target parking posi-
tion (green or red frame) in the position
used last time the parallel parking assist
mode was activated. 3. Shift to “R”.
4. Touch on the screen.
5. Use the arrow to align the green
frame with your target parking space,
and touch “OK”.
You can also move the green frame by
touching the screen (area other than the
arrows).
There are tricks to align the green frame.
See “
 Tips for setting the target parking
position” on page 211.
If the frame is displayed in red, you cannot
use the parallel parking assist mode to
park in that location. See “  When a red
frame is displayed in the assist mode” on
page 229.

When the green frame is displayed, if you
begin backing up without touching “OK”,
the message “Parking position has not
been set.” appears. If you continue to back
up, you will hear a warning tone and the
system will be disabled.
If the frame is red, there will be no guidance
even if you begin backing up.
If the orientation of the frame is opposite to
that of the target parking space, touch
.
There may be times when, due to image
distortion, the green frame does not match
the parking space lines on the road sur-
face. In this case, use the warning flag and
green extension guide line to set the target
parking position.
You may adjust the target parking position
even after starting the parallel parking as-
sist mode.
CAUTION
Always check that there are no ob-
stacles in the green frame or be-
tween your vehicle and the parking
space, and that the warning flag
and extension guide line do not
overlap any parked vehicles or
walls.
If there are obstacles in the green
frame or between your vehicle and
the parking space, or the warning
flag or extension guide line over-
laps a parked vehicle or wall, there
is a danger of collision. In this
case, do not use the parallel park-
ing assist mode. The same applies
if the green frame overlaps the
shoulder.
The warning flag is only a guide.
Be sure to directly check your sur-
roundings and behind the vehicle
for safety, and back up carefully.
If the road surface has level varia-
tions or a gradient between the
starting position and target park-
ing position, it will not be possible
to correctly set the location, which
may cause the parking position to
be misaligned or crooked. In this
case, do not use the parallel park-
ing assist mode.

6. Position yourself as you would
when backing up normally, and rest
your hands on the steering wheel with-
out applying any pressure. Check your
surroundings and behind the vehicle
for safety, and slowly back up, using
the brake pedal to control the vehicle’s
speed.
If you touch
, assistance is can-
celed.
If the vehicle’s backing up speed is too
fast, a warning tone will sound and the
message “Speed is too fast.” will be dis-
played. If you continue to back up at that
speed, the system will be disabled. Back
up at a speed that does not cause the
warning tone to sound.
The green frame displayed on the screen
is approximately the same size as your ve-
hicle. (The green frame displayed when
setting the target parking position is the
size of a normal parking space.)
You can change the target parking position
by touching
. If you are backing up,
or have already moved close to the target
parking position,
will turn gray, and
you will be unable to change the target.
Touch the arrows to move the target park-
ing position, and then touch “OK”.
You can only move the target parking posi-
tion left or right, and the warning flag will
not move even if you adjust the target park-
ing position.

Tips for setting the target parking
position
Useful information for setting the target
parking position (green frame)
ALIGNING THE GREEN FRAME
There are two ways to align the green
frame with the parking space, either using
the arrows on the screen, or by touching
the screen at points other than the arrows. Using the arrows on the screen
By touching the arrows displayed on the
screen, you can move the green frame.
Adjusting the left
−right alignment first will
make subsequent alignment easier.

Parking assist mode assists the driver
with perpendicular parking by automat-
ically controlling the steering wheel
when backing up, in order to park in the
target position set on the screen.
CAUTION
When backing up, be sure to check
your surroundings and behind the
vehicle for safety, and back up
slowly, depressing the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed.
If you seem likely to hit nearby ve-
hicles, obstacles or people, de-
press the brake pedal to stop the
vehicle, then disable the system by
touching on the screen.
As the system only assists with parking in
a set target parking position, there are
times when the system will be unable to
render this assistance, depending on fac-
tors such as road surface or vehicle condi-
tion, or the distance to the set target park-
ing position.
Use the system with full understanding of
the fact.
If a message is displayed while maneuver-
ing, follow the procedures outlined in “ —
What to do when this sort of message is
displayed” on page 226.
The illustrations here describe the proce-
dure for pulling into a parking space on the
right. For pulling into a parking space on
the left, substitute left for right and vice ver-
sa in all steps.
The operating method differs depending
on whether or not the pre− support function
is in use. PRESUPPORT FUNCTION
The presupport function can be used
when another vehicle is parked on the
near side of the intended parking
space. This function uses a tone to give
parking guidance.
Guidance will not be given if the detected
space is narrow.

(a) When the presupport function is
in use
1Push the presupport switch
twice
2Sensor detection range
1. With the vehicle speed at less than
9 mph (15 km/h) and the vehicle on the
near side of the parking space, push the
presupport sw itch twice. Confirm that
the display has switched to the “Back
in mode” screen.
INFORMATION
 The mode will switch with each
push of the presupport switch.
 If the shift position is in “P” or “R”,
or if the vehicle speed is 9 mph (15
km/h) or above, two beeps will
sound when the presupport
switch is pushed, and the display
will not change.
2. Move the vehicle to a position per-
pendicular to the parking space, and as
close as possible to the parked vehicle.
INFORMATION
Move the vehicle forward as slowly
as possible so that the steering
wheel can be turned as soon as the
chime sounds.
 To cancel the guidance function,
turn off the presupport function
by pushing the presupport switch
once.

3. As soon as the chime sounds, rotate
the wheel halfway or more and proceed
forwards.
INFORMATION
The chime sounds when the center of
the parking space can be seen direct-
ly beside the vehicle.
4. When two chimes sound, stop the
vehicle and straighten the steering
wheel.
INFORMATION
Move the vehicle forward as slowly
as possible after turning the steer-
ing wheel so that the vehicle can be
stopped as soon as the two chimes
sound.
 The chimes will not sound if the ve-
hicle does not arrive in a backing
up position after the steering
wheel has been maneuvered. If the
vehicle is stopped and the shift
position is shifted to “R” before the
chimes sound, the screen shown
in step 5 of “(b) When the presup-
port function is not in use” on page
218 is displayed.
5. Shift to “R”.
For operation after shifting to “R”, see step
6 of “(b) When the pre −support function is
not in use” on page 218.

(b) When the presupport function is
not in use
1. Move your vehicle slowly to a posi-
tion perpendicular to the parking
space, and as close as possible to the
parking space.
Positioning the vehicle perpendicular to
the parking space allows the angle of the
parking position to be identified easily.
2. Move your vehicle to a position
where you can see the center of the
parking space right besides you.
To facilitate the setting of the target parking
position, the front side sensors detect the
vehicles parked at the left and right of the
parking space and identify the target park-
ing position.
It is possible to identify the target parking
position even if there is only a vehicle
parked on one side of the parking space.
If no vehicle or small vehicles are parked
on both sides of the desired parking space,
stop with the steering wheel straight.
By stopping the vehicle here, you can
mostly identify the parking location, mak-
ing it easier to set the target parking posi-
tion.
Make sure the steering wheel is straight
when you stop. If not, the parking location
cannot be identified.
If you do not stop in front of the parking
space, the system will refer to the angle of
the vehicle relative to the target parking
space, and display the target parking posi-
tion (green or red frame) in the position
used last time the parking assist mode was
activated.
