■ 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

When the buzzer sounds,
completely stop the vehicle
immediately.
The multi-information display
will change when the buzzer
starts sounding.
Shift the shift lever to D (Multidrive) or 1 (manual transmission).
While the steering wheel is turning, keep the vehicle at a complete stop.
When the steering wheel stops turning, move the vehicle forward slowly
while checking the safety of the area in front of the vehicle and assis-
tance level indicator.

■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.
