3. Search for a Parking Space

~1min read
  • Slowly drive forward while maintaining a distance of approximately 50–150 cm (19.6 in. – 59.0 in.) from the parked vehicles. The side sensors will search for a parking space.
  • If the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, a message will appear to notify you to reduce speed.
  • If the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h, the system will turn off.

✽ NOTICE

  • Turn on the hazard warning flashers if the parking space is crowded with other vehicles.
  • If the parking space is small, slowly approach the parking space.
  • The parking space search is completed only when there is enough space for the vehicle to move into the parking space.

✽ NOTICE

  • When searching for a parking space, the system may not detect a parking space if there is no parked vehicle, the parking space is available after passing it, or the parking space is available before passing it.
  • The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
    (1) When the sensors are frozen
    (2) When the sensors are contaminated
    (3) When heavy snow or rain is falling
    (4) When a pole or object is nearby

✽ NOTICE

Drive slowly forward, keeping a distance of approximately 50–150 cm (19.6 in. – 59.0 in.) from the parked vehicles. If the distance is not maintained, the system may not be able to search for a parking space.

CAUTION

After the parking space search is completed, continue to use the system after checking the surroundings.
