Parking Aid

Parking Aid

Familiarity with the function and operation of the parking system is essential in the event of customer concerns. Refer to the Owner's Manual.

It has an eight-channel parking aid with 4 ultrasonic sensors (parking aid sensor) installed in the rear bumper, and 4 ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper.

The parking aid system uses parking aid sensors to monitor the areas near the front and rear bumpers. The acoustic distance indicator sounds via two warning buzzers in the passenger compartment.

Should a trailer be used (that is compatible with the factory-installed trailer wiring), the rear parking aid sensors are disabled. The front sensors remain active.

The 8-channel parking aid system consists of:

• Parking Aid Control Module (J446)

• Left Front Parking Aid Sensor (G255)

• Left Front Center Parking Aid Sensor (G254)

• Right Front Center Parking Aid Sensor (G253)

• Right Front Parking Aid Sensor (G252)

• Left Rear Parking Aid Sensor (G203)

• Left Rear Center Parking Aid Sensor (G204)

• Right Rear Center Parking Aid Sensor (G205)

• Right Rear Parking Aid Sensor (G206)

• Front Parking Aid Warning Buzzer (H22)

• Rear Parking Aid Warning Buzzer (H15)

• Parking Aid Button (E266)

• Parking Aid Indicator Lamp (K136)

• Push Button Illumination (L76)

Function

Press the parking aid button (E266) (the parking aid indicator lamp (K136) in the parking aid button will light up), or shift into reverse gear to turn it on. To switch off, press the parking aid button again (the parking aid indicator lamp on the parking aid button will go out), or drive forward faster than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph).

A short signal tone will sound and the parking aid indicator lamp will come on when the parking aid is ready. If the system detects any failure, it will sound a 5 second-long tone and the parking aid indicator lamp (on the parking aid button (E266) ) will flash.

During the distance measurement, the pauses between chime impulses get shorter as the gap between vehicles gets smaller. At proximity of less than 30 cm (12 inches), a continuous tone is heard.

Exception:

• Driving along a wall: No warning

DTC Recognition and Display

The parking aid control module (J446) will take over control of the parking aid functions.

The parking aid control module is equipped with OBD.

Use the "Guided Fault Finding" function on the Vehicle diagnostic tester for fault finding.

Perform output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) to test the entire parking aid system. Refer to => [ Parking Aid System Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) ] Parking Aid System Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM).
