What is the Lexus Parking Assist Feature?

Parking can be a stressful and challenging task, especially in crowded areas or tight spaces. The innovative Lexus Parking Assist feature allows you to say goodbye to parking woes and hello to convenience and safety. This advanced technology is designed to make parking a breeze, helping you navigate even the tightest spots with ease.

At Eskridge Lexus, we understand the importance of a stress-free driving experience. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to the Lexus Parking Assist feature, which provides a range of benefits to enhance your parking experience and keep you safe on the road.

What is Lexus Parking Assist

Lexus Parking Assist is an advanced driver assistance system that uses sensors, cameras, and intelligent software to help you park your vehicle with precision and confidence. This feature is designed to take the stress out of parking by providing real-time guidance and assistance, making it easier than ever to navigate even the tightest spaces.

The Parking Assist feature is available on select Lexus models and can be a lifesaver for drivers who frequently find themselves in challenging parking situations.  Lexus Parking Assist makes parallel parking on a busy street or trying to fit into a narrow garage a breeze.

How To Activate Lexus Parking Assist

Activating the Lexus Parking Assist feature is a simple and straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to turn on this helpful feature in your Lexus vehicle:

1. Ensure your vehicle is in drive and that you’re traveling at a low speed (under 10 mph).
2. Press the ‘Park Assist’ button, which is typically located near the gear shifter or on the center console.
3. The system will activate, and you’ll see a visual representation of your vehicle and its surroundings on the multi-information display or center screen.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts and audio cues to guide you into the parking space.
5. Once you’re safely parked, shift into park and turn off the engine.

It’s important to note that while Lexus Parking Assist is a helpful tool, it’s not a substitute for careful driving and good judgment. Always be aware of your surroundings and be prepared to take control of the vehicle if necessary.

How Lexus Parking Assist Works

Lexus Parking Assist uses a combination of advanced sensors, cameras, and software to detect obstacles and guide you into parking spaces. Here’s a closer look at how this innovative technology works:

Sensors

Lexus vehicles equipped with Parking Assist feature a network of ultrasonic sensors located on the front and rear bumpers. These sensors emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off nearby objects, allowing the system to detect obstacles and calculate the distance between your vehicle and other cars or structures.

Cameras

In addition to sensors, Lexus Parking Assist also uses cameras to provide a visual representation of your vehicle’s surroundings. Depending on the model, you may have a rearview camera, a 360-degree camera system, or both. These cameras give you a clear view of what’s behind and around your vehicle, making it easier to navigate tight spaces.

Software

The data collected by the sensors and cameras is processed by advanced software algorithms that analyze the information and provide real-time guidance to the driver. The software can detect the size and shape of parking spaces, calculate the optimal steering angles, and provide audio and visual cues to help you park safely and efficiently.

Parking Modes

Lexus Parking Assist offers several different parking modes to suit your needs. These may include:

• Parallel parking: Helps you fit into tight parallel parking spaces by providing steering assistance and real-time guidance.
• Perpendicular parking: Guides you into perpendicular parking spots, such as those found in parking lots or garages.
• Park out assist: Helps you exit parallel parking spaces by providing steering assistance and alerting you to obstacles.

No matter which parking mode you choose, Lexus Parking Assist is designed to make the process easier, safer, and more convenient.

Benefits of Lexus Parking Assist

Lexus Parking Assist helps make parking safer, offering features that work together to help you park better. These features let you know right away if there are any dangers around your car. This improves your ability to react and keeps your car and others safe from all sides while parking.

The Parking Support Brake (PKSB) enhances the effectiveness of the Parking Support Alert (PSKA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. It provides visual and audio warnings. It also helps drivers stop the vehicle when a crash is coming. The Parking Support Brake uses clearance sonars to detect obstacles around the vehicle. It then applies drive force control and more braking power at low speeds to prevent accidents.
