WARNING
If the area around a sensor collides
●
with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
●
If the bumper or grille collides with
something.
●
If the display flashes or is displayed
continuously and a buzzer does not
sound, except when the mute function
has been turned on.
If a display error occurs, first check the
●
sensor.
If the error occurs even when there is
no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
Notes when washing the vehicle
■
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●
When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●
When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
The system can be operated when
■
The power switch is in ON mode.
●
●
Intuitive parking assist function is on.
The vehicle speed is less than about 6
●
mph (10 km/h).
●
A shift position other than P is selected.
Setting the buzzer volume
■
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the
multi-information display. (P.264)
■
If "Parking Assist Unavailable Clean
Parking Assist Sensor" is displayed on
the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,

4-5. Using the driving support systems
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low
temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the
system will return to normal.
Sensor detection information
■
The following situations may occur
●
during use.
• The sensors may be able to only detect
objects near the front and rear bumpers.
• Depending on the shape of the object
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• There will be a short delay between
object detection and display. Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within the sensor's
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due
to the volume of the audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if
buzzers for other systems are sounding.
Conditions under which the function
■
may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability
of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-
ticular instances where this may occur are
listed below.
●
There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will
●
resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the sensor display may be dis-
played abnormally, or objects, such as a
wall, may not be detected.
●
A sensor is covered in any way.
●
When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold.
On an extremely bumpy road, on an
●
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
