9.22.6. Forward parking

Approach the parking position at a distance of approximately 1 m (3 ft) (A) next to the desired parking place.

If the distance from the parking position is too large, it may not be possible to detect obstacles or the parking space lines.

Drive slowly forward and stop next to the desired parking space (at a distance of approximately 1 m (3 ft) (A) ). Position the vehicle so that the end line of the parking space is in between the parking space search area guidelines (Green) (B) for easier detection. Stop the vehicle so that the parking space detection icon is pointing near the centre of the desired parking space.

Parking control is performed using a route such as that shown in the figure.

The parking route and number of switch-backs vary depending on the parking position and the positions of surrounding obstacles.
