Toyota CH-R: Toyota Teammate Advanced Park

Function description

The Advanced Park is a system which assists in a safe and smooth parking or exiting from a parking space by displaying the blind spots around the vehicle and the target parking spot through a bird's eye view, delivering operation guidance through displays and buzzer operation, and changing the shift position, operating the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal.

Additionally, the panoramic view monitor* can display the area in front, behind, and from above the vehicle, helping confirm the condition of the area around the vehicle.

The turn signal lights will blink automatically when the parking assistance starts until the vehicle reaches the target parking spot, to notify people around the vehicle that parking is being performed.

Depending on the condition of the road surface or the vehicle, the distance between the vehicle and a parking space, etc., it may not be possible to assist in parking in the target space.

*: For details on the panoramic view monitor refer to "Multimedia owner's manual".

■ Remote control function (If equipped)

Remote control function is a system which assists in parking or exiting from a parking space selected on the center display by allowing changing the shift position, operating the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal from outside of the vehicle via a smartphone.

The turn signal lights will blink automatically when the parking assistance, except that for moving the vehicle forward and backward, starts until the vehicle reaches the target parking spot, to notify people around the vehicle that parking is being performed.

Functions

■ Perpendicular parking (forward/ reverse) function

Assistance is provided from the position the vehicle is stopped near the target parking space until the vehicle is in the parking space.

■ Perpendicular exiting (forward/ reverse) function

Assistance is provided from the parked position until the vehicle is in a position where you can easily exit from the parking space.

■ Parallel parking function

Assistance is provided from the position the vehicle is stopped near the target parking space until the vehicle is in the parking space.

■ Parallel exiting function

Assistance is provided from the parked position until the vehicle is in a position where you can easily exit from the parking space.

■ Memory function

Assistance is provided until the vehicle is guided into a previously registered parking space.

■ Remote control function

By operating a smartphone, assistance in parking or exiting from a nearby target parking space, confirmed on the screen of the smartphone, is provided from outside of the vehicle.

WARNING

■Cautions regarding the use of the system

The recognition and control capabilities for this system are limited. The driver should always drive safety by always being responsible without over relying on the system and have a understanding of the surrounding situations.

• As with a normal vehicle, take care to observe your surroundings while the vehicle is moving.
• Always pay attention to the vehicle's surroundings while the system is operating and depress the brake pedal as necessary to slow or stop the vehicle.
• When parking, make sure that the vehicle can be parked in the target parking space before beginning operation.
• Depending on the condition of the road surface or the vehicle, the distance between the vehicle and a parking space, etc., it may not be possible to detect a parking space or the system may not be able to provide assistance to the point the vehicle is fully parked.
• This system will guide the vehicle to appropriate positions for changing the direction of travel, however, if you feel that the vehicle is approaching too close to an adjacent parked vehicle at any time, depress the brake pedal and change the shift position. However, if this is performed, the number of times the vehicle changes direction may increase, and the vehicle may be parked at an angle.
• As following objects may not be detected, make sure to check the safety of the area around your vehicle and depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle if it may collide with an object.
  • Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
  • Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
  • Sharply-angled objects
  • Low objects (curb stones, parking blocks, etc.)
  • Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
• Even if there is an object in the target parking space, it may not be detected and assistance may be performed.
• While the system is operating, if it is likely that your vehicle will collide with a nearby vehicle, parking block, object, or person, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and press the Advanced Park main switch to disable the system.
• Never use only the multimedia display to view the area behind the vehicle. The image displayed may differ than the actual situation.

  Using only the screen when backing up may lead to an accident, such as a collision with another vehicle. When backing up, make sure to look directly or use the mirrors to check the safety of the area around your vehicle, especially behind the vehicle.

• When the ambient temperature is extremely low, the screen may appear dark or the displayed image may become unclear. Also, as moving objects may appear distorted or may not be able to be seen on the screen, make sure to directly check the safety of the area around your vehicle.
• In the following situations, while the vehicle is stopped and held by Advanced Park, it may be canceled and the vehicle may start moving.

  Immediately depress the brake pedal. Failure to do so may lead to an accident.

  • When the driver's door is opened
  • When operations instructed by the system are not performed within a certain amount of time
  • When the brake pedal is depressed and the vehicle is stopped for a certain amount of time
  • When the system malfunctions
• As the steering wheel will turn while this system is operating, pay attention to the following.
  • Be careful so that a necktie, scarf, or arm does not get caught. Keep your upper body away from the steering wheel. Also, keep children away from the steering wheel.
  • Long fingernails may be caught and when the steering wheel is rotating, leading to injury.
  • In an emergency, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and then press the Advanced Park main switch to disable the system.
• Do not allow anyone to put their hands outside of a window while this system is operating.

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.

• Do not use this system in situations such as the following:
  • When in areas other than common parking spaces
  • When the surface of the parking space is sand or gravel and is not clearly defined with parking space lines

  • When in high pedestrian or vehicle traffic areas
  • When the parking space is in a location that is difficult to park in (too narrow for your vehicle, etc.)
  • When images are unclear due to dirt or snow attached to the camera lens, light being shined into the camera or shadows
  • When tire chains or a compact spare tire is installed to the vehicle
  • When the doors or back door are not completely closed
  • When an arm is held outside of a window
  • In inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow
• Make sure to use only standard sized tires, such as those that were installed to the vehicle when it was shipped from the factory. Otherwise, Advanced Park may not operate properly. Also, when the tires have been replaced, the displayed position of the lines or box displayed on the screen may become incorrect. When replacing the tires, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• In situations such as the following, it may not be possible for the system to provide assistance to a registered parking spot:
  • When the tires are extremely worn or the tire inflation pressure is low
  • When carrying a heavy load
  • When the vehicle is tilted due to the carried load
  • When a heater is installed in the surface of the parking space (road surface freeze prevention heater)
  • When the wheels are misaligned, such after a wheel has been subject to a strong impact
  • When a pedestrian or passing vehicle is detected during assistance
  • When something is incorrectly detected as a parking line (light, reflections from a building, difference in height on the parking surface, a gutter, painted road lines, redrawn lines, etc.)

If the vehicle deviates greatly from the set parking space in any situation other than the above, have the vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
