behind the vehicle while backing up, for
example while parking.

the following 2 backing-up operations:
(1) Perpendicular parking (parking in agarage, etc.)
(2)Parallel parking (parking at the side of the road, etc.)
INFORMATION
●
The screen illustrations used in this text
are intended as examples, and may differ
from the image that is actually displayed
on the screen.
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
The parking assist monitor is a supple-
mental device intended to assist the
driver when backing up. When backing
up, be sure to visually check all around
the vehicle both directly and using the
mirrors before proceeding. If you do
not, you may hit another vehicle, and
could possibly cause an accident.
Pay attention to the following precau-
tions when using the parking assist mon-
itor.
WA R N I N G
●Never depend on the parking assist mon-
itor entirely when backing up. The image
and the position of the guide lines dis-
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, then disable the assist system by
selecting on the screen to cancel
the system.
