■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control star ting position, and then the parallel
parking assist mode can be us ed. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assi st
control is also prov ided if necessary.
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-APGS
switch 1 time to select the
parallel parking assist mode.
Travel straight ahead paral-
lel with the road or curb so
that the parking space is
detected.
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position wher e assist control can be used to
begin backing up from, and then when the shift position is
changed according to guidance provided by the system, steering
wheel auto oper ation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the si de of the
road across from the parking space) is narrow, or if there are obstacles
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode. Depending on the condition of t he
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward and back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repea ted any
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step from the
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.

slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
● When backing up too quickly, a sharp beeping sound is emit-
ted and assist cont rol is stopped. (P. 386)
● When the vehicle cannot be cleanly entered within the target

4-5. Using the driving support systems
When the vehicle is almost entire ly 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 the para llel parking assist mode.
● After stopping, feel free to maneuver the vehicle to reach the
desired parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and
rear of the vehicle direct ly and by using the mirrors.
■Parallel parking assist mode operating 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 t o the road (or
shoulder) while maintaining a distance of approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) to any
parked vehicles.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approxima tely
19 mph (30 km/h) 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. 414), guidance is not issued.
● If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be det ermined.
Therefore, the parallel parking assist mode cannot be operated.
● If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking spa ce, the par-
allel parking assist mode may not be able to operate.
● Guidance will continue until the vehicle speed meets or exceeds approxi-
mately 19 mph (30 km/h) or the function is turned off using the S -APGS
switch.
■ Timing for pressing the S-APGS 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 these
cases, conduct parking procedures according to the information on the multi-
information display.
● In step the S-APGS switch is pressed after already passing ove r the tar-
get parking spot.
If the vehicle is not stopped in step , pressing the S-APGS swi tch 1 time
while the vehicle is in motion allows you to select “Parallel P arking” and
proceed directly to step .
● The vehicle is moved up to the position in step without the S- APGS
switch being pressed. Then the S-APGS switch is pressed after having
changed the shift position to R.
