■Parking 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)
●After 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)
●When 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.
●Once the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System becomes available after
the Parking Support Brake function is operated, a message prompting you
to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System can be resumed by shifting according to
the prompt on the multi-information display and pressing the S-IPA switch
(P. 476) again.
■Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
If the system determines that the driver intends to move forward or in reverse,
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.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: P. 726)

NOTICE
●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 parking spot. In these cases, do not use the parallel park-
ing assist mode.
● When there is a wall or other obstacle on the inner side of the parking
space, or when another parked vehicle extends into the road from its park-
ing spot, the target parking spot may be set in a position that juts out
slightly into the road.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing 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.
● When the other parked vehicle is nar-
row or parked extremely close to the
curb, assist control will also guide the
vehicle to a position close to the curb.
If it seems the vehicle may make con-
tact with the curb or any other obsta-
cles, 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.
