■Intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position (without a smart key system) or
the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode (with a smart key syst em).
• The shift lever is in a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in the “ON” position (without a smart key system) or

the display setting has been set to off.
■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
front corner and rear bumpers.
● 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 sen sor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and dis play. Even
at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will c ome within the
sensor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the wa rning
beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected for colli-
sion 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 air conditioning system.
■ Objects which the system may not be properly detected
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
● Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
● Sharply-angled objects
● Low obstacles
