NOTICE
●If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot 
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an an gle or may 
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the p arallel park- 
ing assist mode. 
● When  there  is  a  wall  or  other  obstacle  on  the  inner  side  of  the  parking 
space, or when another parked vehicle extends into the road fro m its park- 
ing  spot,  the  target  parking  spot  may  be  set  in  a  position  that   juts  out 
slightly into the road. 
● Depending  on  the  surrounding  environment,  such  as  other  parked vehi- 
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from  the park- 
ing spot. Manually adjust vehi cle alignment as necessary. 
● The system provides assistance to guide the vehicle based on position of 
adjacent  vehicles,  even  if  there  are  obstacles,  bumps,  drops  or  curb 
stones in the parking space. 
If  it  seems  the  vehicle  may  make  contact,  stop  the  vehicle  by  d epressing 
the brake pedal, and then press the S-IPA switch to turn off th e system. 
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground.  
Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it see ms the vehicle 
may  make  contact  with  an  obstacle,  stop  the  vehicle  by  depressi ng  the 
brake pedal.
● When  the  other  parked  vehicle  is  nar- 
row  or  parked  extremely  close  to  the 
curb,  assist  control  will  also  guide  the 
vehicle to a position close to the curb. 
If  it  seems  the  vehicle  may  make  con- 
tact  with  the  curb  or  any  other  obsta- 
cles,  or  if  it  seems  the  tire  position  will
deviate  from  the  intended  parking  spot, 
stop  the  vehicle  by  depressing  the 
brake  pedal,  and  then  press  the  S-IPA
switch to turn off the system.

In the following situation, be sure to drive carefully as the s ide sensors may 
not be able to correctly detect objects, possibly leading to an  accident.
NOTICE
●Do  not  use  exit  parallel  parking  assist  mode  in  any  situation  other  than 
when departing a parallel parking spot.  
If assist control is started unintentionally, depress the brake  pedal and stop 
the vehicle, then press the S-IPA switch to cancel the assist c ontrol. 
● The  detection  range  of  the  sensors  (P.  461)  is  limited.  Directly  confirm 
the  safety  of  your  surroundings,  and  if  there  is  a  possibility  of  a  contact 
accident, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. 
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly 
confirm  the  safety  of  your  surroundings  and,  if  it  seems  the  ve hicle  may

■Function summary 
Stop  so  that  the  center  of  the  target  parking  spot  appears  near ly 
perpendicular to the vehicle. If the space is detectable, the f orward 
guidance  function  can  be  used.  Furthermore,  depending  on  the 
parking  space  and  other  conditions,  multi-turn  maneuvering  assi st 
control is also provided if necessary. 
Stop  so  that  the  center  of  the
