Collision Avoidance and Parking Assist Systems: Description and Operation

Parking Aid

The parking aid system consists of the following:

- Four ultrasonic parking aid sensors, located in the rear bumper
- Parking Aid Module (PAM), located in the instrument panel above the LH cowl side trim panel
- Parking aid speaker (part of the PAM)

The parking aid system sounds a warning to alert the driver of stationary objects near the rear bumper when REVERSE (R) is selected. The parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves slowly in reverse at speeds of less than 4.8 km/h (3 mph). The parking aid system may not detect angular or moving objects.

Video

The rear video camera system consists of the following:

- Video camera, located in the tailgate release handle
- Interior auto-dimming rear view mirror (without navigation)
- ACM (with navigation)

For vehicles without navigation, the image from the video camera is displayed in the left portion of the interior auto-dimming rear view mirror. For vehicles with navigation, the image from the video camera is displayed on the screen of the Audio Control Module (ACM).
