Image Display - Vehicles Equipped With An 8 in (203 mm) Touchscreen

NOTE: The luggage compartment lid must remain closed for correct operation of the parking aid camera system.

The rear park aid camera image is displayed by the FDIM when the reverse gear is selected. To determine the selector lever (automatic transmission) or gearshit lever (manual transmission) position and enable the rear park aid camera display, the PCM sends the gear position message over the HS-CAN1 to the GWM. The GWM then sends the message to the APIM on the HS-CAN3.

The BCM provides power to the rear view camera when the ignition is in the ON position. The BCM rear parking aid camera stand by mode is used to turn off the camera video signal when the vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or greater or turn on the camera video signal when the vehicle speed is 8 mph (13 km/h) or lower. The camera generates a video signal any time it's on regardless of the current configuration. If the camera is not configured properly, some features may be inoperative. When the rear parking aid camera is on, the image signal is sent from the camera on shielded twisted pair wires to the APIM, which displays the image on the FDIM.
