2. ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM 7. USAGE PRECAUTIONS DRIVING PRECAUTIONS CAUTION ● Never depend on the advanced parking guidance system entirely when backing up. Always make sure your intended path is clear. Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle. ● Never back up while looking only at the screen. The image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces will differ from actual distances. If you back up while looking only at the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a person or an object. When backing up, be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with mirrors before proceeding. ● Back up slowly, using the brake pedal to control the vehicle's speed. ● If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles or people, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and then disable the system by touching on the screen. ● Use the system for flat spaces. CAUTION ● As the steering wheel moves automatically in the parallel parking assist mode and parking assist mode, be aware of the following points: • Keep clothing such as neckties, scarves and long sleeves away from the steering wheel, as they may become entangled. Also, keep children away from the steering wheel. • If you have long fingernails, be careful not to injure yourself when the steering wheel moves. • If there is a problem, stop the vehicle and disable the system by touching on the screen. ● Be sure to check that the vehicle can actually park in the target space before beginning operation. 364 PRIUS v (US) NAVI 47675U 11.09.08 12:54
