■ Conditions under which the BSM function may not function correctly 
● The BSM function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following situa- 
tions: 
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its 
surrounding area 
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is covering the sensor or surround-
ing area on the rear bumper 
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad 
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between 
each vehicle 
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and 
the vehicle that enters the detection area 
• When the difference in speed between your vehicle and another vehicle
is changing 
• When a vehicle enters a detection area traveling at about the same 
speed as your vehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehicle remains in the detection area 
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips 
in the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven 
surfaces 
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and
the vehicle in an adjacent lane is  far away from your vehicle 
• When a bicycle carrier or other accessor y is installed to the rear of the 
vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and 
the vehicle that enters the detection area 
• Immediately after BSM system is set to on

■ Side area obstacle warning function 
Obstacle notified (within the vehicle course) 
● Only when obstacles on the sides are in the vehicle course will the driver be 
notified (display and buzzer). 
● Although the display operates while the vehicle is stopped or moving, the 
buzzer only sounds during movement. 
■ Obstacle detection in side areas 
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes. 
After the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a 
smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart 
entry & start system), scanning completes after driving the vehicle for a
short period of time. The operation disp lay is grayed out until the scans are 
completed. 
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected 
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected even after it 
has left the side sensor detection area. 
■ If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information 
display 
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In this case, clean the 
sensor and the system should return to normal. 
If a sensor is frozen due to low temperatures, a warning message may be dis- 
played or an obstacle may not be detected. When the sensor thaws out, the
system should return to normal. 
When an obstacle in the side areas is 
within the vehicle course while the vehicle 
is moving forward or backward, this func- 
tion inform the driver by the display and
the buzzer.

cle course)

●Settings for exit parallel parking assist mode 
Settings can be done at the 
following occasions: 
• Immediately after the 
engine switch is turned to 
the “ON” position (vehi- 
cles without a smart entry 
& start system) or IGNI- 
TION ON mode (vehicles 
with a smart entry & start 
system), while stopped 
and there is a parked vehi- 
cle in front 
• Immediately after parallel parking using the system, while 
stopped and there is a parked vehicle in front

■Function summary 
Stop so that the center of the target parking spot appears nearly 
perpendicular to the vehicle. If the space is detectable, the forward 
guidance function can be used. Furthermore, depending on the 
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist 
control is also provided if necessary. 
Press the S-IPA switch 
2 times to select perpendicu- 
lar parking assist mode. 
Travel straight ahead so that 
the parking space is 
detected. 
A sound is issued and a dis- 
play is shown to notify you 
when the vehicle reaches the 
position to start backing up 
from.
If the detected parking space or 
road width (distance to the side 
of the road across from the park- 
ing space) is narrow, guidance
will not be issued.
Parking is complete
Move the vehicle forward and back repeatedly in accordance with the
guidance, until the vehicle is completely parked.

■ Operation conditions of S-IPA 
● The engine is started. 
● 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. 460), 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.
