■Function summary
The Simple Inte lligent Parking
Assist System automatically oper-
ates the steering wheel to provide
support when backing into an area
near a target parking spot, and
when departing from a parallel
parking spot. (Shift lever operations
and speed adjustment when mov-
ing forward or backing up are not
performed automatically.)
The Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System does not park the
vehicle automatically. It is a sys-
tem that provides support when
pulling out of a perpendicular or
parallel parking spot.
The Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System provides steering
wheel operation assistance to
guide the vehicle toward the
selected intended parking spot.
The selected intended parking
spot may not always be reacha-
ble, depending on road and vehi-
cle conditions at the time of
parking, and the distance to the
intended parking spot.
■Linking with the PKSB (Park-
ing Support Brake) system (if
equipped)
While the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is operating, if the
system detects an obstacle that
could result in a collision, the emer-
gency brakes operate, regardless
of whether the PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake) system is on or off.

vehicle.
This completes th e parallel parking assist mode.
After stopping, feel free to
maneuver the vehicle to reach
the desired parking spot.
Be sure to back up while check-
ing the area to the front and rear
of the vehicle directly and by
using the mirrors.
■Parallel parking assist mode oper-
ating conditions
●In order to operate the parallel parking
assist mode correctly, drive slowly (at
a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly stopped) parallel to the road
(or shoulder) while maintaining a dis-
tance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) to any parked vehicles.
●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 detection is not
possible ( P.353), guidance is not
issued.
●If there are no parked vehicles, the
parking spot cannot be determined. Therefore, the parallel parking assist
mode cannot be operated.
●If unable to detect the environment
surrounding the parking space, the
parallel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
●Guidance will continue until the vehi-cle speed meets or exceeds approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 mph) or the
function is turned off using the S-IPA switch.
■Timing for pressing the S-IPA
switch
In the following cases, the assist mode may also operate during the steps taken
to park using the parallel parking assist
mode. However, in th ese cases, conduct parking procedures according to the
information on the mu lti-information dis-
play.
●In step 1 the S-IPA switch is pressed
after already passing over the target parking spot.
If the vehicle is not stopped in step 1,
pressing the S-IPA switch 1 time while
the vehicle is in motion allows you to select “Parallel Parking” and proceed
directly to step 2.
●The vehicle is moved up to the posi-
tion in step 3 without the S-IPA switch
being pressed. Then the S-IPA switch is pressed after having changed the

■Function summary
When departing from a parallel
parking position, select the direc-
tion you would like to depart in, and
steering wheel operation assist
control will be provided to guide the
vehicle to a position from which you
can take off.
NOTICE
■When using the parallel parking assist mode
●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
angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. In these cases, do not use the parallel parking assist mode.
●When the other parked vehicle is narrow or parked extremely close to
the curb, assist co ntrol will also
guide the vehicle to a position close to the curb.
If it seems the vehicle may make
contact with the curb or any other obstacles, 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.
●When there is a wall or other obsta- cle on the inner side of the parking
space, or when another parked
vehicle extends into the road from its parking spot, the target parking
spot may be set in a position that
juts out slightly into the road.
●Depending on the surrounding envi- ronment, such as other parked
vehicles, the vehicle may be parked
at an angle or may deviate from the parking 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
depressing the brake pedal, and
then press the S-IPA switch to turn off the 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 seems the vehicle may make contact with an
obstacle, stop the vehicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
