Object
Calculated vehicle route
When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras ca n detect
objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can no longer be
detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the location of t he object rel-
ative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is determined to be in the esti-
mated path of the vehicle, the object warning function will ope rate.
Object detected by side sensors or side cameras
1 The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not
detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side
sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer so unds.

■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the vehicle
are not instantaneously detected. The location of objects in relation to the vehicle is estimated after they are first
detected by the front or rear side sen- sors, or side cameras. Therefore, after the power switch is changed to ON,
even if an object is along the side of the vehicle, it may not be detected until the vehicle has been driven a
small amount and the side sensors or side cameras completely scan the areas along the sides of the vehicle.

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
●Even if there is an object in the tar-
get parking space, it may not be detected and assistance may be performed.
●While the system is operating, if it is likely that your vehicle will collide with a nearby vehicle, parking
block, object, or person, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and press the Advanced Park main
switch to disable the system.
●Never use only the multimedia dis-
play to view the area behind the vehicle. The image displayed may differ than the actual situation.
Using only the screen when back- ing up may lead to an accident, such as a collision with another
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.
●In the following situations, while the vehicle is stopped and held by
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
• When the brake pedal is depressed and the vehicle is stopped for a cer-tain amount of time
• When the system malfunctions
●As the steering wheel will turn while this system is operating, pay atten-tion to the following.
