Page 331 2-4. Using other driving systems  Parking operation  Pre-support function Pre-support is useful for parking between two vehicles that are parked along the shoulder of the road. This function detects the empty parking space between the parked vehicles and then guides the driver to the correct starting position for reversing.
Page 332 2-4. Using other driving systems STEP Move your vehicle slowly alongside the vehicle parked in front of the target parking space. Your vehicle should move parallel to the road or shoulder and be approximately 1 m (3 ft.) away from the side of the parked vehicle.
Page 333 2-4. Using other driving systems When the pre-support function is not in use STEP Move your vehicle slowly to a position parallel to the road or shoulder approximately 1 m (3 ft.) away from parked vehicles. To facilitate the setting of the target parking position, the front side sensors detect the vehicles parked in front of and behind the parking space and identify the target parking position.
Page 334 2-4. Using other driving systems  While backing up STEP Place the shift lever in “R” position. Touch on the screen (only when the pre-support func- tion is not in use). STEP Use the arrow to align the green frame with your target parking space, and touch “OK”.
Page 335 2-4. Using other driving systems STEP 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.
Page 336 2-4. Using other driving systems STEP Once the vehicle is mostly within the target parking position, voice guidance will inform you to finish the assist mode. For safety, voice guidance is given slightly before the target parking position. Furthermore, at that point system control will finish, so grip the steering wheel firmly, and finish parking in the desired position, using the brake to control the vehicle's speed.
Page 337 2-4. Using other driving systems Using the arrows on the screen: By touching the arrows displayed on the screen, you can move the green frame. Adjusting the left-right alignment first will make subsequent alignment easier. Directly touching the target point: By touching the point you wish to move the frame to, you can move the green frame.
