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

shift lever to R.
■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.

1With the shift lever in P, press
the S-IPA switch, select exit par-
allel parking assist mode, and
then operate the turn signal
lever to select the desired
departure direction.
2 Steering wheel auto operation
starts when the shift lever is
changed accordin g to guidance
provided by the system.
3 A sound is issued and a display
is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position from
which you can take off.
Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, guidance to starting points
for moving forward and backing up, as
well as the steering wheel auto opera-
tion, are repeated any time multi-turn
maneuvering is necessary from the
time the steering wheel auto operation
begins in step 2 up until the vehicle
reaches a position from which it can
take off.
■Using the exit parallel parking
assist mode to depart
1 With the shift lever in P, press
the S-IPA switch and check that
the display on the multi-informa-
tion display switches to “Exit
Parallel Parking”.
2 Operate the turn signal lever
( P.189) to select whether you
would like to depart to the left or
right.
If there are any obstacles in the direc-
tion the vehicle is departing in, the sys-
tem determines that it is not possible to depart, and assist control is stopped.
3 When the shift lever is changed
to R (or D) according to the
advice display on the screen
( P.331), a high-pitched beep
is emitted and assist control will
start.
Step 4 and onward is for cases in which the advice display shows “Shift to R”
after operating the turn signal lever to
select a departure direction.
When the steering wheel auto
operation starts, the steering
wheel auto operation display and
assistance level indicator
( P.331) will be shown in the
display area.

■Exit parallel parking assist mode
●During assist control, if the driver
determines that they are at a position
where take-off is possible and oper- ates the steering wheel, assist control
is stopped at that position.
●Assist control cannot be used if there
are no parked vehicles ahead, or if the
gap between the front of your vehicle and the vehicle parked ahead is too
large.
●When using the exit parallel parking
assist mode, the assist mode may be
not be able to operate depending on the surrounding environment.
■When using the exit parallel park-
ing assist mode
Do not use exit parallel parking assist mode in the following situations as it
may not operate properly:
●When the road surface is not paved or
is rough, such as gravel.
●When there is a rut or other depres-
sion in the road to the side of your
vehicle.
●When the road to the side of your
vehicle is sloped.
●When any of the following are behind

the vehicle, within the area that the
vehicle will move to depart: • Trees or poles
• Fire hydrants
• Tall grass, flower beds, etc. • Walls which would surround the vehi-
cle
• Vehicles waiting near the parking spot • Metal I-beams
• Walls with protrusions
•Holes
■Function summary
Stop so that the cent er of the target
parking spot appears nearly per-
pendicular to the vehicle. If the
space is detectable, the forward
guidance function can be used.
Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions,
multi-turn maneuvering assist con-
trol is also provided if necessary.

■When using the exit parallel park- ing assist mode
●Do not use exit parallel parking
assist mode in any situation other than when departing a parallel park-
ing spot.
If assist control is started uninten- tionally, depress the brake pedal
and stop the vehicle, then press the
S-IPA switch to cancel the assist control.
●The detection range of the sensors ( P.308) is limited. Directly confirm
the safety of your surroundings,
and if there is a possibility of a con- tact accident, stop the vehicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
●It may not be possible to detect
objects that are low to the ground.
