INTUITIVE PARKING ASSIST Intuitive parking assist - The Intuitive parking assist is a warning system used when parking the vehicle at low speed (e.g. into a garage). It uses an ultrasonic sensor, which checks the approximate distance to an obstacle. It will inform you of the approximate distance to an obstacle by displaying information on the multi-information display and the screen, and with beeping sounds. 1 Front corner sensors There is one of these installed on each corner of the front bumper, they inspect obstacles and will sound a warning depending on the distance to the obstacle. (See " - Front corner sensors" on page 284.) 2 Rear corner sensors There is one of these installed on each corner of the rear bumper, they inspect obstacles and will sound a warning depending on the distance to the obstacle. (See " - Rear corner sensors" on page 285.) 3 Back sensors There are two of these installed near the center of the rear bumper, they inspect obstacles and will sound a warning depending on the distance to the obstacle. (See " - Back sensors" on page 286.) To use the Intuitive parking assist, with the "ENGINE START STOP" switch in IGNITION ON mode, push the Intuitive parking assist button. Pushing the Intuitive parking assist button again will turn the Intuitive parking assist off. When ON, an indicator on the switch comes on to inform the driver that the function is operational. The Intuitive parking assist will remain on even after turning the "ENGINE START STOP" switch to "OFF" and then to IGNITION ON mode with the main switch on. However, a beep does not sound at this time. If an error is detected in the Intuitive parking assist while self-checking, beeps sound and a warning appears in the multiinformation display and on the screen.
