■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected,
you will be guided forward until you
reach the assist control starting
position, and then the parallel park-
ing assist mode can be used. Fur-
thermore, depending on the parking
space and other conditions,
multi-turn maneuvering assist con-
trol is also provided if necessary.
1 Continue moving forward with
the vehicle parallel to the curb or
road, and stop so that the center
of the target parking spot
appears nearly perpendicular to
the vehicle. Then, press the
S-IPA switch 1 time to select the
parallel parking assist mode.
2 Travel straight ahead parallel
with the road or curb so that the
parking space is detected.

is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position
where assist control can be
used to begin backing up from,
and then when the shift lever is
changed according to guidance
provided by the system, steering
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road
width (distance to the side of the road
across from the parking space) is nar-
row, or if there are obstacles in front of
the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.

adjusting your speed by
depressing the brake pedal.
Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, steps 6 to 11 may need to be repeated.
12 When the vehicle is almost
entirely within the target parking
spot, a high-pitched beep is
emitted and the stop display is
shown on the display, stop the
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
