: If equipped

The Advanced Park is a system which
assists in a safe and smooth parking or
exiting from a parking space by dis-
playing the blind spots around the vehi-
cle and the target parking spot through
a bird’s eye view, delivering operation
guidance through displays and buzzer
operation, and changing the shift posi-
tion, operating the steering wheel,
accelerator pedal, and brake pedal.
Additionally, the panoramic view moni-
tor

can display the area in front,

behind, and from above the vehicle,
helping confirm the condition of the
area around the vehicle.
The turn signal lights will blink automat-
ically when the parking assistance
starts until the vehicle reaches the tar-
get parking spot, to notify people
around the vehicle that parking is being
performed.

Depending on the condition of the road
surface or the vehicle, the distance
between the vehicle and a parking space,
etc., it may not be possible to assist in park-
ing in the target space.

: For details on the panoramic view moni-

tor refer to the “MULTIMEDIA

WARNING

●

Depending on the condition of the

road surface or the vehicle, the dis-

tance between the vehicle and a park-

ing space, etc., it may not be possible

to detect a parking space or the sys-

tem may not be able to provide assis-

tance to the point the vehicle is fully

parked.

●

This system will guide the vehicle to

appropriate positions for changing the

direction of travel, however, if you feel

that the vehicle is approaching too

close to an adjacent parked vehicle at

any time, depress the brake pedal and

shift the shift position. However, if this

is performed, the number of times the

vehicle changes direction may

increase, and the vehicle may be

parked at an angle.

●

As following objects may not be

detected, make sure to check the

safety of the area around your vehicle

and depress the brake pedal to stop

the vehicle if it may collide with an

object.
