DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION
 Never depend on the intelligent parking
assist 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 dif-
ferent from actual conditions. Depicted
distances between objects and flat sur-
faces 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 vehi-
cle visually and with mirrors before pro-
ceeding.
 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 dis-
able the system by touching
screen.
 Use the system for flat spaces.

cally in the parallel parking assist mode

scarves and long sleeves away from
the steering wheel, as they may

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.

actually park in the target space before
beginning operation.
