message will be displayed, and the sys-
tem will be disabled. For displayed
message, see page 243.
After the following operations

Using the accelerator
Moving the shift position out of “R”
Applying the parking brake
Switching the screen display In the following situation
If the vehicle slips forward or stops af-
ter taking your foot off the brake pedal
If the backing speed is too fast
If normal assistance cannot be ren-
dered
due to worn tires or low tire infla-
tion pressure
If the target parking position has not
been confirmed on the target parking
position setting screen before backing

If the system is disabled while backing up,
grip the steering wheel firmly and depress
the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a
halt. The system has been completely dis-
abled, so you may either start again from

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.

is approximately the same size as your ve-
hicle. (The green frame displayed when
setting the target parking position is the

parked vehicle once assisted parking is
complete. If you are parallel parking on the
opposite side of the road, left and right will
be reversed.1Narrow
