Toyota's Advanced Park is designed to assist the driver
with hands-free parking when parallel parking or backing into a parking space
Advanced Park uses information from the vehicle's
four Bird's Eye View cameras and the sonar parking sensors
to measure parking spaces and detect objects around the vehicle.
When Advanced Park has been turned on, guidance screens
and a panoramic view of maneuvers are shown on the multimedia display.
Advanced Park can only be used if key operating conditions are met, as detailed in the Owners Manual.
As the vehicle passes along a row of parked cars, the system’s sensors scan for an available space.
The driver stops ahead of the center of a desired parking space and activates Advanced Park
When the system confirms that the vehicle can be parked in the space, a target box is indicated on the multimedia display.
The driver selects the space, then presses START on the display...
and once the driver has lifted their foot off the brake,
Advanced Park begins to operate, selecting the reverse gear and operating
the steering, accelerator and brakes - with no action by the driver -
other than supervision,
until the vehicle is positioned and comes to a stop in the parking space.
To exit from the parking space, the driver depresses the brake pedal, presses the Advanced Park switch,
selects the desired exit direction, and presses START.
As before, Advanced Park operates without the driver’s input, maneuvering the vehicle around objects as necessary...
until it stops in a position to exit the parking space safely.
"Advanced Park Finished" is displayed and assistance ends.
The driver then assumes control by gripping the steering wheel
and depressing the brake to check the blind spot,
then pressing the accelerator to drive forward.
Advanced Park’s perpendicular parking function can be used - even at night - if the target parking space
can be detected when the vehicle stops close and perpendicularly to the center of the space.
The driver activates Advanced Park, selects the space and presses START...
and Advanced Park takes it from there.
Advanced Park includes a memory function
that can be used to park in a space that has been previously registered,
even if there is no defined parking space or other vehicle parked nearby.
With the vehicle stopped in a position close to the center
of the desired parking space, the driver activates Advanced Park.
Where no defined parking space is present, the driver can program a parking space
by pressing the button to add a programed parking space,
then selecting the type of parking they want to perform
and defining the position of the parking space to be registered.
When the brake pedal is released,
Advanced Park maneuvers the vehicle into the space.
The position of the parking spot can then be adjusted,
if needed, and registered with the simple press of a button.
The vehicle then memorizes the spot using the Bird's Eye View
camera array and stores it in memory.
To park in a space already registered in Advanced Park memory,
the driver must first bring the vehicle alongside the registered parking spot.
The driver presses the Advanced Park switch,
then selects the registered space and presses START.
Advanced Park scans the immediate area for the space in its memory
and, if a visual match is found, executes the parking maneuver.
The system supports parking operations regardless of the direction of the vehicle’s approach.
Advanced Park is designed to provide the driver
with hands-free parking assistance in specific scenarios,
making parking easier and more efficient.
