DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
The parking assist monitor is a supple-

driver when backin g up. When backing
up, be sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and using the
mirrors before proceeding. If you do

CAUTION
● Never depend on the parking assist mon-

played on the screen may differ from the
actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when
backing up any vehicle.
● Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the
brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
● If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles,
obstacles, people or mount the shoulder,
depress the brake pedal to stop the vehi-
cle.
● The instructions gi ven are only guide-

steering wheel will vary according to traf-
fic conditions, road surface conditions,
vehicle condition, etc. when parking. It is
necessary to be fully aware of this before
using the parking assist system.
● When parking, be sure to check that the
parking space will accommodate your
vehicle before maneuvering into it.
