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.

If the red area which denotes an
area unsuitable for parking over-
laps with the lines of the parking
space, you will be unable to park,
as the parking space is judged as
being an area unsuitable for park-
ing. Progress to a position where
the parking space lines do not
overlap with such an area.
7. 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”.
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.

8. Once the vehicle is mostly within
the target parking position, voice guid-
ance will give a message, and parking
assist mode will finish.
For safety, voice guidance is given slightly
before the target parking position. Further-
more, at that point system control will fin-
ish, so grip the steering wheel firmly, and
finish parking in the desired position, using
the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
Check in front and behind the vehicle visu-
ally and check with the mirrors while back-
ing up.
Tips for setting the target parking
position
Useful information for setting the target
parking position (green frame)
THE DISPLAY POSITION OF THE
GREEN FRAME
The system decides the initial positioning
of the green frame by the position of the
parking space detected by the front side
sensors or the position of the vehicle when
it stops, and by detecting the white lines of
the parking space in the camera image to
identify the parking space location.
The front side sensors identify the parking
space location and the white lines near
that location are detected.
The front side sensors cannot identify the
parking space location, or the parking
space location may be misaligned in the
following situations.
A vehicle is parked at the back of the
parking space or the sensors cannot
detect a parked vehicle due to vehicle
shape etc.
The sensors cannot detect a pole or
wall beside the parking space.
The sensors detect a pedestrian or ob-
ject near the parking space.
If there are no vehicles parked on either
side of the target parking space when your
vehicle stops, the approximate parking
space location is identified, and the white
lines in that location are detected. For this
reason, stopping in front of the parking
space will make the detection of target
parking space’s white lines easier.
Successful detection of the parking
space’s white lines may not be possible,
depending on the shape of the line.
