■Function description
When exiting from a parallel park-
ing space, if the system determines
that exit is possible the parallel exit-
ing function can be used. Also,
depending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, if it is necessary to
change the direction of travel of the
vehicle, the shift position can be
changed by assistance control.
■Leaving a parking space using
the parallel exiting function
1 With the brake pedal depressed
and P shift position selected,
press the Advanced Park main
switch and check that the exit
direction selection screen is dis-
played on the multimedia dis-
play.
2 Select an arrow on the multime-
dia display to select the direction
you wish to exit.
NOTICE
●As the target parking space will not be able to be set correctly if the sur-
face of the parking space is on a slope or has differences in height, the vehicle may stray from the tar-
get parking space or be slanted. Therefore, do not use the parallel parking function for this kind of
parking spot.
●When parking in a narrow parking
space, the vehicle may closely approach an adjacent parked vehi-cle. if a collision seems likely,
depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
●If an adjacent parked vehicle is nar-row or parked extremely close to the curb, the position at which
assistance will park the vehicle will also be close to the curb. If it seems likely the vehicle will collide with the
curb or drive off of the road, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and then press the
Advanced Park main switch to dis- able the system.
●If there is a wall or other barrier on the inner side of the parking space, the vehicle may stop at a position
slightly outside of the set target parking space.

NOTICE
●In situations such as the following, it may not be possible to register a
parking space.
• When there is insufficient space
between the road and parking space
• When the road surface around the parking space does not have any differences the system can recog-
nize
●If a parking space has been regis-
tered in situations such as the fol- lowing, assistance may not be able to be started later or assistance to
the registered position may not be possible.
• When shadows are cast on the parking space (there is a carport over the parking space, etc.)
• When there are leaves, garbage, or other objects which will likely move,
in the parking space
• When the road surface around the
parking space has the same repeat- ing pattern (brick, etc.)
●In situations such as the following, it may not be possible for the system to provide assistance to a regis-
tered parking spot:
• When the appearance of the park-
ing space is affected by the shadow of the vehicle or trees
• When an object is detected in the registered parking space
• When a pedestrian or passing vehi- cle is detected during assistance
• When the position the vehicle is stopped when assistance is started differs from the position when regis-
tration was performed
• When the registered parking space
cannot be reached due to the exis- tence of parking blocks, etc.
• When the road surface around the parking space has changed (road surface has degraded or been
resurfaced)
• When the sunlight conditions differ
from when registration was per- formed (due to weather or time of day)
• When the sun is shining directly into a camera, such as in the early
morning or evening
• When the color or brightness of the
road surface is uneven
• When a light is temporarily shined
on the parking space (lights of another vehicle, security light, etc.)
• When the road surface around the parking space has the same repeat-ing pattern
• When there is a low protrusion on the road surface near the parking
space
• When the parking space is on a
slope

The detection area of the electronic key
is within approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) around the vehicle.
6 From outside of the vehicle,
confirm the direction of travel on
the screen of the smartphone
and then select the start button.
Start operation of Remote control func- tion while standing approximately 50 cm (1.6 ft.) or more from the vehicle
and out of the path of the vehicle. The detection area of the electronic key is within approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.)
around the vehicle.
7 Checking the safety of the area
around the vehicle, trace the
operation area on the screen of
the smartphone continuously,
the vehicle will move and park-
ing assistance will be per-
formed.
If operation of the screen of the smart- phone is stopped, assistance can be suspended and the vehicle can be
stopped. After assistance has been started, it can be stopped part way or the direction of travel of the vehicle can
be changed.
8 Select the power button on the
screen of the smartphone. The
power switch will then turn OFF
and the doors will lock automati-
cally.
■Changing the direction of travel
While assistance is being performed, the direction of travel of the vehicle can
be changed by the forward and reverse movement function. When there is a wall behind the vehicle, etc., by operat-
ing the direction of travel changing but- ton on the screen of the smartphone, the vehicle can be slightly moved forward to
allow loading of items and then moved back to its original position.
Assistance can be provided to exit
from a perpendicular or parallel
parking space when the power
switch OFF. When forward and
backward movement is selected,
the maximum distance the vehicle
can move is 7 m (23.0 ft.) from the
starting point and possible to
change the direction of travel.
1 While near the parked vehicle,
unlock the doors using the elec-
tronic key, and then start the
Remote Park app on the smart-
phone.
If the smartphone cannot connect to the vehicle, using the electronic key, unlock the doors again.

the desired driving mode while the
vehicle is stopped or traveling at a
speeds less than approximately 20
km/h (13 mph).
1 Normal mode
Has a good balance of electrical con-
sumption performance, quietness, and
driving performance, and is suitable for
driving in urban areas.
2 SNOW/DIRT mode
When the tires are likely to slip or slip
on slippery roads such as snowy roads,
gravel roads, etc., the tire spinning is
reduced, making it easier to drive.
At this time, the SNOW/DIRT mode
indicator lights up in green on the
meter.

trolled Brake System)
The electronically controlled sys-
tem generates braking force corre-
sponding to the brake operation
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-

■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turn-
