S-IPA (Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System)
The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System automatically operates
the steering wheel to provide support when backing into a target park-
ing spot, and when departing from a parallel parking spot. (Shift lever
operations and speed adjustment when moving forward or backing up
are not performed automatically.)
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System does not park the
vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support when
parking in parallel or perpendicular parking spaces, as well as pull-
ing out of parallel parking spaces.
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System provides steering
wheel operation assistance to guide the vehicle toward the targeted
parking spot. The selected intended parking spot may not always
be reachable, depending on road and vehicle conditions at the time
of parking.
: If equipped
Function summary
WARNING
● When backing up or proceeding forward, be sure to directly confirm the
safety of the area to the front or rear, and the area around the vehicle, and
slowly back up or proceed forward while adjusting the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
● 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 ( P. 365) to turn the system off.

driven some distance after
parallel parking
• While driving
• There are no parked vehicles in front
● Settings for exit parallel parking assist mode
Settings can be done at the
following occasions:
• Immediately after the

■ S-IPA indicator inside the meter (P. 365)
This indicator illuminates when the steering wheel auto operation is being
performed by the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System. After control
ends, the indicator blinks for a short period of time and then turns off.
■ Clearance sonar pop-up display
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating the steer-
ing wheel automatically, if the clearance sonar function detects an obsta-
cle, the clearance sonar display automatically pops up on the guidance
screen ( P. 352), regardless of whether the clearance sonar function is on
or off ( P. 352).
■ Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
The assist will continue even when the shift is operated with no regard to the
forward/reverse directions from the system. However, it will switch over,
increasing the number of turn maneuvers, and may deviate from the parking
position.

■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control starting 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.
Then press the S-IPA 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, 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.

■Parking
Press the S-IPA switch 1 time
and check that the display on
the multi-information display
switches to parallel parking
assist mode.
Turn the S-IPA switch on while
driving the vehicle at 30 km/h
(18 mph) or less. The multi-
information display changes to
the parking space detection
screen when the system is oper-
ating.
Drive the vehicle while main-
taining a distance of approxi-
mately 1 m (3.3 ft.) from the
parked vehicles.
Proceed slowly.
The system will begin searching
for a parking space.
While searching for a space, the
turn signal lever ( P. 235) can
be operated to select a parking
space on the left or right.
When a parking space is
detected, the screen will
change.

Shift the shift lever to R.
While the steering wheel is turning, keep the vehicle at a complete stop.
When the steering wheel stops turning, reverse the vehicle slowly while
checking the safety of the area behind the vehicle and assistance level
indicator.
Repeat steps through until the parking assist operation
has completed.
When the parking assist operation has completed, the buzzer sounds,
the S-IPA indicator turns off and the multi-information display changes.
Adjust the vehicle position and/or angle as necessary to complete park-
ing the vehicle.
■ Parallel parking assist mode operating conditions
● In order to operate the parallel parking assist mode correctly, drive slowly (at
a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly stopped) parallel to the road (or
shoulder) while maintaining a distance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) to any
parked vehicles.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (19 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 parallel parking assist mode cannot be operated.
● If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the par-
allel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.

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.
