■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system, as
doing so may lead to an accident.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,
taking care to observe your
surroundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to pro-
vide support to lessen the severity
of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle
completely. Additionally, even if the
system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake
pedal immediately as brake control
will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operatio ns by intention-
ally driving the vehicle into the
direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Br ake as the system may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using
a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-
ing eyelet, bumper protector (an
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare
tire or an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used

or waiting for approximately 2 seconds for it to automatically be canceled. Then,
the vehicle can be operated by depress-
ing the accelerator pedal.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake
To re-enable the Parking Support Brake
when it is disabled due to operation of the Parking Support Brake, either ena-
ble the system again ( P.318), or turn
the engine switch off and then back to ON. Additionally, if the object becomes
no longer in the traveling direction of the
vehicle or if the traveling direction of the vehicle changes (such as changing from
moving forward to backing up, or from
backing up to moving forward), the sys-
tem will be re-enabled automatically.

If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the travelling
direction of the vehicle and the system determines that a collision
may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an
accidental accelerator pedal oper ation, the vehicle moving the unin-
tended direction due to the wrong shift lever being selected, or while
parking or traveling at low speeds, the system will operate to lessen
the impact with the detected static object and reduce the resulting

■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

■Back-in parking assist mode oper-
ating conditions
●In order to operate the function cor-
rectly, drive slowly (at a speed at which the vehicle can be quickly
stopped). Come to a full stop so that
the center of the parking space is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle,
and then 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 detection is not
possible ( P.353), guidance is not issued.
●If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be determined.
Therefore, the back-in parking assist
mode cannot be operated.
●If unable to detect the environment
surrounding the parking space, the
back-in parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
●Depending on the condition of the parking 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 reach-
able.

■Tips for using the back-in parking assist mode
1 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.
