Auto-Tilt Parking Aid (W/A45)

If the vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, the vehicle is equipped with the park aid mirror system as a personalization option. This is to assist in parallel parking situations. The park aid mirror option is turned ON and OFF through the driver information center. The feature must be turned ON for the current memory setting in order to operate.

If the option is turned ON for the current or last driver identified (by either using the key fob transmitter or by pressing the driver memory switch on the door), the passenger side exterior mirror functions as listed:
^ The passenger side mirror will tilt down when the transmission is shifted into REVERSE.
^ The passenger mirror will return to the last position when the transmission is shifted out of REVERSE.

The tilt mirror function will operate even if the mirror was positioned by using the mirror position switches, as long as the function is turned ON for the last driver identified.

In this system the instrument panel cluster (IPC) sends a Class 2 message to the DDM indicating the Reverse position of the transmission selector. The DDM sends a power door serial data message to the PDM, which powers the vertical mirror motor to tilt the passenger mirror down.

When the IPC detects the transmission is no longer in Reverse, the IPC sends the message to the DDM. The DDM sends a message to the PDM and the PDM powers the circuits to return the mirror to the original position.
