• Do not register a parking space in situations such as the following, as the set parking space may not be able to be registered or assistance may not be possible later.

• When a camera lens is dirty or covered with water droplets
• When it is raining or snowing
• When the surrounding area is dark (at night, etc.)

• In situations such as the following, it may not be possible to register a parking space.

• When there is insufficient space between the road and parking space
• When the road surface around the parking space does not have any differences the system can recognize

• If a parking space has been registered in situations such as the following, assistance may not be able to be started later or assistance to the registered position may not be possible.

• When shadows are cast on the parking space (there is a carport over the parking space, etc.)

 

• When there are leaves, garbage, or other objects which will likely move, in the parking space
• When the road surface around the parking space has the same repeating pattern (brick, etc.)

NOTICE

• In situations such as the following, it may not be possible for the system to provide assistance to a registered parking spot:

• When the appearance of the parking space is affected by the shadow of the vehicle or trees
• When an object is detected in the registered parking space
• When a pedestrian or passing vehicle is detected during assistance
• When the position the vehicle is stopped when assistance is started differs from the position when registration was performed
• When the registered parking space cannot be reached due to the existence of parking blocks, etc.
• When the road surface around the parking space has changed (road surface has degraded or been resurfaced)
• When the sunlight conditions differ from when registration was performed (due to weather or time of day)
• When the sun is shining directly into a camera, such as in the early morning or evening
• When the color or brightness of the road surface is uneven
• When a light is temporarily shined on the parking space (lights of another vehicle, security light, etc.)
• When the road surface around the parking space has the same repeating pattern
• When there is a low protrusion on the road surface near the parking space
• When the parking space is on a slope
• When a camera has been splashed by hot or cold water and the lens has fogged up
• When a camera lens is dirty or covered with water droplets
• When accessories which obstruct the view of the camera are installed If assistance is ended during registration, perform registration again.

• When registering a parking space to the memory function, if the road surface cannot be detected "No available parking space to register" will be displayed.
• When using the memory function, make sure to stop immediately in front of the stop position. Otherwise the parking space may not be able to be detected correctly or assistance may not be provided to the point that the vehicle is fully parked.
• Do not use the memory function if a camera has been subjected to a strong impact or images of the panoramic view monitor are misaligned.
• If a camera has been replaced, as the installation angle of the camera will have changed, it will be necessary to reregister parking spaces of the memory function.
