(1) Side television camera assembly

(2) Parking assist ECU

(3) Multi-display assembly

(4) ECM

(5) Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU)

(6) Spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly

(7) Steering pad switch assembly (side monitor main switch)

(8) Combination meter assembly

(c) This system is equipped with a self-diagnosis system, which is operated on a designated window that appears on the display panel, just as in the navigation system.

2. FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS

(a) The parking assist ECU controls the system by using information from the following components.





3. OPERATION EXPLANATION

(a) The side monitor main switch ON signal is sent from the steering pad switch to the parking assist ECU.

After receiving the side monitor main switch ON signal, the parking assist ECU switches the display signal for the multi-display from the navigation system to the side monitor system.

4. DISPLAY CONDITIONS FOR SIDE MONITOR DISPLAY
