NOTICE

■

When using the parallel parking assist mode

●

Be sure to stop the vehicle parallel to the road or shoulder. If the vehicle is not

parallel, the assist location will be very near the shoulder. If it looks like the vehicle

will hit or mount the shoulder, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and

touch “X” on the screen to deactivate the system.

●

Always check that there are no obstacles in the green frame or between your

vehicle and the parking space, and that the warning flag and extended green line

do not overlap any parked vehicles or walls.

●

If there are obstacles in the green frame or between your vehicle and the parking

space, or the warning flag or extended green line overlaps a parked vehicle or

wall, there is a danger of collision. In this case, do not use the parallel parking

assist mode. The same applies if the green frame overlaps the shoulder.

●

The warning flag is only a guide. Be sure to directly check your surroundings and

behind the vehicle for safety, and back up carefully.

●

If the road surface has level variations or a gradient between the starting position

and target parking position, it will not be possible to correctly set the location,

which may cause the parking position to be misaligned or crooked. In this case,

do not use the parallel parking assist mode.

●

When the vehicle in front of the empty space is parked on the shoulder or is not

parallel with the road, parallel parking assist mode cannot be used.

●

If the parked vehicle is narrow, or parked close to the shoulder, the assisted park-

ing position may be quite close to the shoulder. If the vehicle seems likely to hit or

mount the shoulder, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and disable the

system by touching “X”.
