4-5. Using the driving support systems
●The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall  obstacles  with  upper  sections  projecting  outwards  in  the  direction  of
your vehicle
● The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the  shape  of the obstacle  and other factors, the detection
distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the
sensor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the beep
sounds.
• Thin  posts  or  objects  lower  than  the  sensor  may  not  be  detected  when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■ Customization
Setting of buzzer volume can be changed.
(Customizable features  →P. 638)
■ If a message is displayed on the multi-information display
→P. 558
■ Certification (Canada only)
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
WARNING
■When using the Intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
● The sensors’ detection areas and reaction times are limited. When mov-
ing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially the sides of the
vehicle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s
speed.
● Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.
