PARKING ASSIST MONITOR SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Perpendicular Parking Mode


      1. Perpendicular parking mode consists of A: parking assist guide line display mode, B: distance guide line display mode and C: estimated course line display mode. The initial (default) setting for perpendicular parking is estimated course line display mode.

      2. Pressing the display mode switch screen button switches among the rear monitor modes.

      3. When perpendicular parking mode is operating, fixed guide lines appear superimposed on a view of the area behind the vehicle. These guide lines can be used to assist the driver while backing up the vehicle.

  2. OPERATION


    1. Parking Assist Guide Line Display Mode (Perpendicular Parking)


      1. To use parking assist guide line display mode in perpendicular parking when parking the vehicle in a parking space, perform the following procedure:


        1. Move the shift lever to R.

        2. Select perpendicular parking mode.

        3. Select parking assist guide line display mode.

        4. An image appears on the multi-display assembly as illustrated below.

          A01WX1Q

        5. Back up the vehicle and stop at the position in which the parking assist guide line comes in contact with the left side of the intended parking position.

        6. Turn the steering wheel fully to the right and back up the vehicle.

          A01WX1A

        7. Continue backing up the vehicle until the vehicle is parallel to the painted lines.

        8. Once the vehicle is parallel, aim the steering wheel straight ahead and back up the vehicle to the target stop position.

    2. Estimated Course Line Display Mode (Perpendicular Parking)


      1. To use estimated course line display mode in perpendicular parking when parking the vehicle in a parking space, perform the following procedure:


        1. Move the shift lever to R.

        2. Select perpendicular parking mode.

        3. Select estimated course line display mode.

        4. An image appears on the multi-display as illustrated below.

          A01WX4L

        5. Turn the steering wheel so that the estimated course lines are within the parking space, and back up carefully.

          A01WX2M

        6. When the rear of the vehicle is within the parking space, turn the steering wheel in order to equalize the gap between the left and right sides of the vehicle width guide lines and the painted lines of the parking space.

        7. When the vehicle width guide lines and the painted lines of the parking space are parallel, straighten the steering wheel and then carefully back up until the entire vehicle is within the parking space.

          A01WX3K

    3. Parallel Parking Assist Mode


      1. To use parallel parking assist mode to park the vehicle in the parking space, perform the following procedure:


        1. Stop the vehicle parallel to the road or the curb, at a side-to-side clearance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) from the parked vehicle, approximately one-half car lengths forward of the parked vehicle.

          A01WX1CC04
          *a Approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) *b Target Parking Position

        2. Aim the steering wheel straight ahead and move the shift lever to R.

        3. Select parallel parking assist mode.

        4. An image shows on the multi-display as illustrated below.

          A01WX49

        5. Drive the vehicle straight back and stop when the black and yellow vertical pole of the target parking position is aligned with the rear end of the parked vehicle.

          A01WX6QC01
          *a Black and Yellow Vertical Pole - -

        6. When the steering wheel is turned, the blue outline will appear. At this time, the black and yellow vertical pole opposite to the target parking position will disappear when the steering wheel is turned more than 90 degrees.

          A01WX69C01
          *a Blue Outline - -

        7. Continue turning the steering wheel, and the blue outline will move in the direction of the target parking position, while the outline changes into a shape as illustrated below. Keep turning the steering wheel until the blue outline reaches the target parking position.

          A01WX3AC01
          *a Blue Outline - -

        8. However, if the steering wheel is turned too much, the message shown in the illustration below is displayed and the blue outline will change to red to inform the driver that the assist operation is not possible. Also, when your vehicle is too far away from the shoulder, the same condition will occur even when adjusting the blue outline to a normal position.

          A01WX57C01
          *a The blue outline changes to red - -

        9. The vertical line (blue) and target frame (blue) disappear and the curved blue line appears on the target parking position.

          A01WX54C01
          *a Curved Blue Line - -

        10. Keep the steering wheel in the same position and back up. Stop when the curved blue line reaches the left end of the target parking position.

          A01WX50

        11. With the vehicle at a standstill, fully turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. Then, as shown in the illustration below, the same guide line appears as in perpendicular parking mode.

          A01WX38

        12. Using the distance guide lines slowly back up the vehicle until the vehicle is parallel to the road or curb, while paying attention to the vehicles in front and in back. The parking maneuver is completed once the vehicle is parallel.
