WARNING
●Depending on the condition of the road surface or the vehicle, the dis-
tance between the vehicle and a parking space, etc., it may not be possible to detect a parking space
or the system may not be able to provide assistance to the point the vehicle is fully parked.
●This system will guide the vehicle to appropriate positions for changing
the direction of travel, however, if you feel that the vehicle is approaching too close to an adja-
cent parked vehicle at any time, depress the brake pedal and change the shift position. However,
if this is performed, the number of times the vehicle changes direction may increase, and the vehicle may
be parked at an angle.
●As following objects may not be
detected, make sure to check the safety of the area around your vehi-cle and depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle if it may collide with an object.
• Thin objects such as wire, fences, rope, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low objects (curb stones, parking
blocks, etc.)
• Tall objects with upper sections that
protrude outward

block, object, or person, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and press the Advanced Park main
switch to disable the system.

vehicle. When backing up, make sure to look directly or use the mir-rors to check the safety of the area
around your vehicle, especially behind the vehicle.
●When the ambient temperature is extremely low, the screen may appear dark or the displayed image
may become unclear. Also, as mov- ing objects may appear distorted or may not be able to be seen on the
screen, make sure to directly check the safety of the area around your vehicle.

Advanced Park, it may be canceled and the vehicle may start moving. Immediately depress the brake
pedal. Failure to do so may lead to an accident.
• When the driver’s door is opened
• When operations instructed by the
system are not performed within a certain amount of time
