2. ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM 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 and extension guide line do 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 or extension guide 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 blue frame overlaps the shoulder. CAUTION ● When the shift position has been shifted to R (as in step 4 of "WHEN THE PRESUPPORT FUNCTION IS NOT IN USE"), if the perpendicular parking assist mode screen on page 333 has been switched to via the easy set function, touch to cancel. 7 Position yourself as you would when backing up normally, and rest your hands on the steering wheel without applying any pressure. Check your surroundings and behind the vehicle for safety, and slowly back up, using the brake pedal to control the vehicle's speed. ● 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. If you touch , assistance is canceled. If the vehicle's backing up speed is too fast, a warning tone will sound and the message "! Vehicle is moving too fast." will be displayed. If you continue to back up at that speed, the system will be disabled. Back up at a speed that does not cause the warning tone to sound. The blue frame displayed on the screen is approximately the same size as your vehicle. (The blue frame displayed when setting the target parking position is the size of a normal parking space.) 348 PRIUS v (US) NAVI 47675U 11.09.08 12:54
