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. 422) to turn the system off.

■ S-IPA indicator inside the meter (P. 422)
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 steering wheel
automatically, if the clearance sonar function detects an obstacle, the clearance

less of whether the clearance sonar function is on or off ( P. 409).
■ 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.
