WARNING
■When using exit parallel parking assist mode
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
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing t he brake
pedal.
● When departing for a position from which you can take off, directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings.
When an object is in an area which is out
of the detection range of the side sen-
sors.

■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
target parking spot appears
nearly perpendicular to the
vehicle. Then, press the S-IPA
switch 2 times to select per-
pendicular parking assist
mode.
Steering wheel auto opera-
tion starts when the vehicle
begins to move.
A sound is issued and a dis-
play is shown to notify you
when the vehicle reaches the
position to start backing up
from.
If the detected parking space or
road width (distance to the side
of the road across from the park-
ing space) is narrow, or if there
are obstacles in front of the vehi-
cle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete.
This completes the assist mode.
Depending on the condition of the parking space, guidance to st arting
points for moving forward and backing up, as well as the steeri ng wheel
auto operation, are repeated any time multi-turn maneuvering is neces-
sary following from the time the vehicle begins backing up unt il park-
ing completes.

■Parking
Stop so that the center of the
target parking spot appears
nearly perpendicular to vehi-
cle. Then, press the S-IPA
switch 2 times and check that
the display on the multi-infor-
mation display switches to
“Back-in Parking”.
● Visually check the area in
the direction of the arrow
indicating the direction of
the steering wheel auto
operation and the target
parking spot on the dis-
play.
● The mode switches each
time the S-IPA switch is
pressed. (P. 494)
● When the shift lever is not in D, S (M20A-FXS engine) or B
(2ZR-FXE engine), or when the vehicle speed has been
detected, pressing the S-IPA switch will not cause the screen
to switch to the “Back-in Parking” display.
● The turn signal lever (P. 324) can be operated to select
whether you would like to park to the left or right.
● The system cannot be used when the parking space is narrow
or there is not a sufficient enough area for assist control to
operate. Please refer to the information shown on the multi-
information display to use a different parking space.

Assume an ordinary driving
posture, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel
without applying any force,
directly confirm the safety of
the area to the front and
around the vehicle and
slowly proceed forward while
adjusting your speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
When this is done, a high-
pitched beep is emitted and
an indicator on the meter illu-
minates at the same time,
after which assist control will
start.
● When the steering wheel auto operation starts, the steering
wheel auto operation display and assistance level indicator
(P. 495) will be shown in the display area.
● To stop assist control, press the S-IPA switch.
● When the vehicle speed is too high, a sharp beeping sound is
emitted and assist control is stopped. (P. 4 9 5 )
● If the space turns out to be too narrow after assist control
starts, a sharp beeping sound is emitted and assist control is
stopped.
When a level beep is emitted
and the stop display
(P. 495) is shown on the
display, stop the vehicle.

Change the shift lever to R.
Assume an ordinary posture for backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel without applying any force, direc tly
confirm the safety of the area to the rear and around the vehic le,
confirm that there are no obstacles in the parking space, and
slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
● When the vehicle cannot be cleanly entered within the target
parking spot on the first try and multi-turn maneuvering is nec -
essary, proceed to step .
● When multi-turn maneuvering is not necessary, proceed to
step .
When a level beep is emitted
and the stop display
(P. 495) is shown on the
display, stop the vehicle.
Change the shift lever to D, S (M20A-FXS engine) or B
(2ZR-FXE engine).
When you would like to end assist control at your current posit ion,
change the shift lever to P.
Assume an ordinary driving posture, rest your hands lightly on
the steering wheel without applying any force, directly confirm
the safety of the area to the front and around the vehicle and
slowly proceed forward while adjusting your speed by depressing
the brake pedal.

and the stop display
(P. 495) is shown on the

Depending on the condition of the parking space, steps to may
need to be repeated.
When the vehicle is almost entirely within the target parking s pot,
a high-pitched beep is emitted and the stop display is shown on
the display (P. 495), stop the vehicle.
This completes the perpendicular parking assist mode.
● For safety, the buzzer sounds slightly before the vehicle is
completely entered within the target parking spot. Further-
more, at that point, system operation will also finish. Firmly
hold the steering wheel and slowly back up while adjusting
your speed by depressing the brake pedal, to reach the
desired parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and
rear of the vehicle directly and by using the mirrors.

■Perpendicular parking assist mode operating conditions
● In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped). Come to a full stop so tha t the center of
the parking space is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle, and t hen operate
the S-IPA switch.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or higher.
● The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detect ion is not
possible ( P. 530), guidance is not issued.
● If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the perpendicular parking assist mode cannot be oper ated.
● If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the per-
pendicular parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
■ Tips for using the perpendicular parking assist mode
● Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, if there is not enough space
in front of the vehicle required to perform
the parking operation, the target parking
spot may not be reachable.
Intended parking spot
Wal l
Leave a gap of approximately 1 m
(3.3 ft.) from any parked vehicles and
approach the target parking spot. If
the gap between your vehicle and any
parked vehicles is too large, the front
side sensors and rear side sensors
may not be able to detect the parked
vehicles.
Stop so that the center of the target
parking spot is perpendicular to the
vehicle. Furthermore, only push the
S-IPA switch when the vehicle is at a
complete stop.

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 erpendicu-
lar parking assist mode.
● When parking in a narrow space, the vehicle will come close to adjacent
vehicles. If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the ve hicle 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
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing t he brake
pedal.
● 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.
