    Auto parking on my prius 2007 was working properly but from last some days it is giving me an error. (See screenshot) When i translate it, it says "syatem not available".

    Is it due to any fuse or any component?

    Why would you need "auto parking" on Mars ? ;)

    Then....."auto parking" on a Prius ? Don't think there is such a thing, especially not as far back as '07.

    If that really is the "hazzard alert alarm", then some component of it has gone bad.
    Wild guess is one of the sensors.
    I think you need a Prius shop that speaks Japanese.

    Wow. Wonder why my backup camera doesn't have those handy guide lines.

    Because i am so busy in finding treasures on mars. Can't get time to park myself.

    No, it is actually auto parking or self parking. Even most of people having prius don't know about that feature. It is G-touring model and i was impressed when i used it first time.

    See following video posted on YouTube 8 years back. Toyota was super innovative at that time.


    You just set parking location on lcd and leave steering and it automatically parks at that location. I used it many times but from last some days it is giving that error.

    That may be due to different model. I have G-touring model.

    No experience with that model, but when I have seen automatic parking fail on other cars it was due to a broken ultrasonic sensor on the bumper.

    I don’t think that was available in North America at the time. OP sounds like he from an Asian country and his screen shot is definitely not English. Perhaps he is on Mars. :whistle:

    Only in there is a smaller pool with people here that have experienced the same problem. Makes it harder to get an answer.

    Old thread, I know but I thought I'd add to it for future readers.
    The line guides are superimposed by the IPA (intelligent Park Assist) ECU which was a factory option as far back as 2006. It usually came in the top-spec package, but its availability varied by country as the options available were decided by the regional distributors.
    The OP hasn't been seen since April 2020 so if he did get it fixed, he never came back to say how.

    Anyway, as far as I know, the parking assist only works if the system can detect the (white) line markings around the parking space.

    In the photo in the first post, I don't see any road markings so I'm going to say that is why the IPA is reporting the system is not available.

    Get it scanned. Sometimes it is as simple as height sensor malfunction. If you install the spacers to lift the car height sensor will give and out of limit reading and IPA gives same error. Happened with me.

    Other reason is if you have aftermarket radio (android panel) than it will not work. IPA needs factory radio to work. In that case there can be 02 solutions:-

    1. Get the stock radio back and live with it. You'll get many functions back alive like IPA, feedback voice, oem Bluetooth functionality for calls etc.

    2. Take out the circuit of stock radio and install it behind the android panel. Use Aux IN feature of stock radio for sound. In that case you will have steering control for your stock radio and not for your aftermarket radio.

    Its a happy compromise you'll have to make
