2. ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM INFORMATION OPERATING PROCEDURE CAUTION ● When backing up, be sure to check your surroundings and behind the vehicle for safety, and back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed. ● If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles or people, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, then disable the system by touching on the screen. ● To allow the pre-support system to activate accurately, move the vehicle as slowly as possible (at a speed that will allow the vehicle to be stopped suddenly). ● If only one vehicle is parked, the presupport system cannot be used. As the system only assists with parking in a set target parking position, there are times when the system will be unable to render this assistance, depending on factors such as road surface or vehicle condition, or the distance to the set target parking position. Use the system with full understanding of the fact. If a message is displayed while maneuvering, follow the procedures outlined in "WHAT TO DO WHEN THIS SORT OF MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED" on page 353. PERIPHERAL MONITORING SYSTEM ● The function cannot be used if the shift position is in "P" or "R", or if the vehicle speed is faster than 9 mph (15 km/h). ● In order to identify parking spaces and detect parked vehicles using the sensors on both sides of the front bumper, guidance cannot be given if a space is not detected. ● Parking space guidance and searching continues until the vehicle speed is faster than 9 mph (15 km/h) or until the function is turned off by pressing the pre-support switch. The illustrations here describe the procedure for pulling into a parking space on the right. For pulling into a parking space on the left, substitute left for right and vice versa in all steps. 9 The operating method differs depending on whether or not the pre-support function is in use. 343 PRIUS v (US) NAVI 47675U 11.09.08 12:54
