■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.
Stop so that the center of the
target parking spot appears
nearly perpendicular to the
vehicle. Then press the
S-APGS switch 2 times to
select back-in parking assist
mode.
Steering wheel auto opera-
tion starts when the vehicle
begins to move.
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, or if there
are obstacles in front of the vehi-
cle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode.
Depending on the condition of the parking space, guidance to starting
points for moving forward and backing up, as well as the steering wheel
auto operation, are repeated any time multi-turn maneuvering is neces-
sary following step from the time the vehicle begins backing up until
parking completes.

■Parking
Stop so that the center of the
target parking spot appears
nearly perpendicular to vehi-
cle. Then press the S-APGS
switch 2 times and check that
the display on the multi-infor-
mation display switches to
“Back-in Parking”.
●Visually check the area in
the direction of the arrow
indicating the direction of
the steering wheel auto
operation and the target
parking spot on the dis-
play.
● The mode switches each
time the S-APGS switch is
pressed. ( P. 362)
● When the shift position is not in D or B, or when the vehicle
speed has been detected, pressing the S-APGS switch will not
cause the screen to switch to the “Back-in parking” display.
● The turn signal lever ( P. 240) can be operated to select
whether you would like to park to the left or right.
● The system cannot be used when the parking space is narrow
or there is not a sufficient enough area for assist control to
operate. Please refer to the information shown on the multi-
information display to use a different parking space.

Assume an ordinary driving
posture, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel
without applying any force,
directly confirm the safety of
the area to the front and
around the vehicle and
slowly proceed forward while
adjusting your speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
When this is done, a high-
pitched beep is emitted and
an indicator on the meter illu-
minates at the same time,
after which assist control will
start.
●When the steering wheel auto operation starts, the steering
wheel auto operation display ( P. 363) and assistance level
indicator ( P. 363) will be shown in the display area.
● To stop assist control, press the S-APGS switch.
● When the vehicle speed is to o high, a sharp beeping sound is
emitted and assist control is stopped.
● If the space turns out to be too narrow after assist control
starts, a sharp beeping sound is emitted and assist control is
stopped.
When a level beep is emit-
ted and the stop indicator
( P. 363) is shown on the
display, stop the vehicle.

Assume an ordinary posture for backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel wi thout applying any force, directly
confirm the safety of the area to the rear and around the vehicle,
confirm that there are no obstacl es in the parking space, and
slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
● When the vehicle cannot be cleanly entered within the target
parking spot on the first try and multi-turn maneuvering is nec-
essary, proceed to step .
● When multi-turn maneuvering is not necessary, proceed to
step ( P. 369).
When a level beep is emit-
ted and the stop indicator
( P. 363) is shown on the
display, stop the vehicle.
Change the shift position to D.
When you would like to end assist control at your current position,
change the shift position to P.

the display ( P. 363), stop the vehicle.
This completes the back-in parking assist mode.
● For safety, the buzzer sounds slightly before the vehicle is
completely entered within the target parking spot. Further-
more, at that point, system o peration will also finish. Firmly
hold the steering wheel and slowly back up while adjusting
your speed by depressing the brake pedal to reach the desired
parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and

■Function summary
If a parking space can be detecte d, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control star ting position, and then the parallel
parking assist mode can be used. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist
control is also provided if necessary.
Continue moving forward
with the vehicle parallel to
the curb or road, and stop so
that the center of the target
parking spot appears nearly
perpendicular to the vehicle.
Then press the S-APGS
switch 1 time to select the
parallel parking assist mode.
Travel straight ahead paral-
lel with the road or curb so
that the parking space is
detected.
A sound is issued and a dis-
play is shown to notify you
when the vehicle reaches a
position where assist control
can be used to begin backing
up from, and then when the
shift position is changed
according to guidance pro-
vided by the system, steering
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the side of the
road across from the parking space) is narrow, or if there are obstacles
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode. Depending on the condition of the
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward and back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repeated any
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step from the
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.
