2. ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM INFORMATION ● If there are no vehicles parked on either side of the target parking space when your vehicle stops, the approximate parking space location is identified, and the white lines in that location are detected. For this reason, stopping in front of the parking space will make the detection of target parking space's white lines easier. ● Successful detection of the parking space's white lines may not be possible, depending on the shape of the line. ● In the following circumstances, detection of the parking space lines on the road surface may not be possible: • The lines are faded or dirty, making them unclear. • The road surface is of a light color which does not contrast well with the white lines. • The parking space lines are a color other than white (yellow etc.). • The area is dark, for example at night or in a covered parking lot. • During or after rain, when the road surface is wet and reflects light, or puddles have formed. • The sun is shining directly on the camera, for example early morning or late afternoon. • The parking space is covered with snow or de-icing agent. • There are markings or maintenance marks on the road surface. • The color or brightness of the road surface is not uniform. • Hot or cold water has splashed on the camera, and the lens is fogged. • There are dirt or water droplets on the lens. If the point at which you stop is correctly identified, the blue frame will display the parking space accurately. If the white lines of the parking space have not been correctly identified, the blue frame will not match the parking space even if you stop in the correct location. In this case, adjust the point at which you stop as needed. PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM 9 339 PRIUS v (US) NAVI 47675U 11.09.08 12:54
