Title
INITIALIZATION OF THE ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM

Component
GENERAL INFORMATION

Models
'08 - '09 LS 460

INTRODUCTION:

The Advanced Parking Guidance System assists the driver during parking and parallel parking by displaying an image of the area behind the vehicle and controlling the steering wheel with the vehicle in reverse. As a result of removing the DCC fuses or disconnecting the battery, the power source to the steering angle sensor is cut off. When the DCC fuses are reinstalled or the battery terminal is reconnected, the rear view monitor will be operative, but it cannot assist back up parking operation because the center position recognized by the steering angle sensor may not be initialized.

Initialize the Advanced Parking Guidance System after installing the DCC fuses during Pre-delivery Service (PDS) at the dealership.

NOTE:
Any time the battery terminal has been disconnected, the Advanced Parking Guidance System MUST be re-initialized.


APPLICABLE VEHICLES:
- 2008-2009 model year LS 460 vehicles.
