S-IPA (Simple Intelligent Parking Assist
System)
■Function summary
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 parallel
parking spot. (Changing the shift position and speed adjustment
when moving forward or backing up are not performed automati-
cally.)
● The Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System does not park the
vehicle automatically. It is a system that provides support when
pulling out of a perpendicular or parallel parking spot.
● 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.
■Linking 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
emergency brakes operate, regardless of whether the Parking Sup-
port Brake function is on or off. ( P. 475)

■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
parking assist mode can be used. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist
control is also provided 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-IPA 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 where 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 operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the side 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 the
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward and back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repeated any
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step from the
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.
