The Simple Intelligent 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 para llel
parking spot. (Changing the shift position and speed adjustment
when moving forward or backing up are not performed automati-
cally.)
O The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System does not park the
vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support whe n
pulling out of a perpendicular or parallel parking spot.
O 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 reachable, depending on road and vehi-
cle conditions at the time of parking, and the distance to the
intended parking spot.
QLinking with the Parking Support Brake function
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating , if
the system detects an obstacle that could result in a collision , the

QParking Support Brake function while the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is operating
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if the system
detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybrid system output
restriction control and brake control of the Parking Support Brake function are
operated, regardless of whether the Parking Support Brake function is on or
off. (P. 464)
OAfter the Parking Support Brake function operates, operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System is temporarily stopped, and operation of
the Parking Support Brake function is indicated on the multi-information dis-
play. (P. 468)
OWhen operation of the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is stopped 3
times by operation of the Parking Support Brake function, the Simple Intelli-
gent Parking Assist System is canceled.
OOnce the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System becomes available after

assistance continues even if the driver shifted before being prompted to do so
by the system. However, because driver operation differs from the guidance
provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers may increase.
QCustomization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: P. 724)
