2. ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM 7 Use the arrow to align the blue frame with the desired parking space, then touch "OK". You can also move the blue frame by touching the screen (area other than the arrow). There are tricks to align the blue frame. See "TIPS FOR SETTING THE TARGET PARKING POSITION" on page 338. If the orientation of the frame is opposite to that of the target parking space: Touch . Areas in which you are unable to park are displayed in red. CAUTION ● The warning flag is only a guide. Be sure to directly check your surroundings and behind the vehicle for safety, and back up carefully. ● Always check that there are no obstacles in the blue frame or between your vehicle and the parking space, and that the warning flag does not overlap any parked vehicles or walls. ● If there are obstacles in the blue frame or between your vehicle and the parking space, or the warning flag overlaps a parked vehicle or wall, there is a danger of collision. In this case, do not use the parking assist mode. If the frame is displayed in red, you cannot use the parking assist mode to park in that location. See "WHEN A RED FRAME IS DISPLAYED IN THE ASSIST MODE" on page 357. When the blue frame is displayed, if you begin backing up without touching "OK", the message "Parking position has not been set." appears. If you continue to back up, you will hear a warning tone and the system will be disabled. If the frame is red, there will be no guidance even if you begin backing up. There may be times when, due to image distortion, the blue frame does not match the parking space lines on the road surface. In this case, attempt an approximate match in an area where the warning flag does not overlap with any parked vehicles or obstacles. ● 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 parking assist mode. ● If the red area which denotes an area unsuitable for parking overlaps with the lines of the parking space, you will be unable to park, as the parking space is judged as being an area unsuitable for parking. Progress to a position where the parking space lines do not overlap with such an area. 336 PRIUS v (US) NAVI 47675U 11.09.08 12:54
