NOTICE
●If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the parallel park-
ing assist mode.
● When there is a wall or other obstacle on the inner side of the parking
space, or when another parked vehicle extends into the road from its park-
ing spot, the target parking spot may be set in a position that juts out
slightly into the road.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehi cle alignment as necessary.
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal.
● The sensors may not be able to detect
curbs. The vehicle may drive onto the
curb depending on the situation, such
as if a vehicle in front or back of the
parking space has driven on the curb.
Check the surrounding area to prevent
the tires and wheels from being dam-
aged.

■Operation conditions of S-IPA
● The hybrid system is operated.
● The switch is on.
■ Perpendicular parking assist mode operating conditions
● In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped).
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
20 km/h (13 mph) or higher.
● The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible ( P. 400), guidance is not issued.
● If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the perpendicular parking assist mode cannot be operated.
● If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the per-
pendicular parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
● The vehicle can be parked in a parking
space between 2 vehicles and a space
behind a parked vehicle.

■ Tips for using the perpendicular parking assist mode
Leave a gap of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.)
from any parked vehicles and approach
the target parking spot. If the gap between
your vehicle and any parked vehicles is
too large, the front side sensors and rear
side sensors may not be able to detect
the parked vehicles.
NOTICE
● If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the perpendicu-
lar parking assist mode.
● When parking in a narrow space, the vehicle will come close to adjacent
vehicles. If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the vehicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehi cle alignment as necessary.

■Exit parallel parking assist mode
● During assist control, if the driver determines that they are at a position
where take-off is possible and operates the steering wheel, assist control is
stopped at that position.
● Assist control cannot be used if there are no parked vehicles ahead, or if the
gap between the front of your vehicle and the vehicle parked ahead is too
large.
● When using the exit parallel parking assist mode, the assist mode may be
not be able to operate depending on the surrounding environment.
NOTICE
● The detection range of the sensors (P. 356) is limited. Directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings, and if there is a possibility of a contact
accident, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal.
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal.
● When departing for a position from which you can take off, directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings.

● When there is a parked vehicle behind the target parking spot, it may not be
detected due to the distance. Also, depending on the shape of the vehicle
and other conditions, the detectable range may shorten or detection may
not be possible.
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System may not operate if grating, dia-
mond plates or similar materials are detected on the surface of the parking
space.

WARNING
●Do not rely solely upon the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System. As
with unequipped vehicles, move forward and back up carefully while
directly confirming the safety of your surroundings and the area to the rear
of the vehicle.
● The sensor detection areas and reaction times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially
the sides of the vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to
control the vehicle’s speed.
● Drive slowly while adjusting your speed by depressing the brake pedal
when backing up or moving forward.
● If it seems the vehicle may make contact with a pedestrian, another vehi-
cle or any other obstacles, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal,
and then press the S-IPA switch to turn off the system.
● Use the system in a parking lot with a flat surface.
● Observe the following precautions, as the steering wheel automatically
turns during use.
• There is risk of a necktie, scarf, your arm, etc., being caught up in the
steering wheel. Please do not allow your upper body to be close to the
steering wheel. Also, do not allow children close to the steering wheel.
• There is a possibility of injury when the steering wheel turns if you have
long fingernails.
• In case of an emergency, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal, and then press the S-IPA switch to turn off the system.
● Always confirm that there is appropriate space before attempting to park
the vehicle and operate the system.
