If the luggage compartment lid is open, the fixed guidelines are not shown.
Active Guidelines
NOTE: If the battery has been disconnected or discharged, or a module is disconnected or replaced, the active guidelines may be inoperative until the vehicle is driven on a flat and smooth road at 32 km/h (20 mph) or more, with hands placed loosely on the steering wheel and minimal steering correction for approximately 30 seconds.
If the guidelines are remain inoperative, it may be necessary to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes with the driver's door open, then drive the vehicle for 5 miles in normal city driving before performing the procedure described above.
The rear parking aid camera active guidelines feature displays dynamic guidelines that correspond to the projected path of the vehicle travel based on the current steering angle. Several modules are involved in generating the steering angle data used to support the active guidelines. The PSCM monitors the current steering angle and sends the steering angle data message to the ABS module via the HS-CAN2. The ABS module uses this message from the PSCM to generate the steering angle message that is sent to the BCM via the HS-CAN1 and HS-CAN2, with the GWM acting as the gateway. The BCM then sends the steering angle data to the rear parking aid camera via the LIN circuit. The camera uses this data to generate the active guidelines over the video image.
If the luggage compartment lid is open or the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, the active guidelines are not shown.
Manual Zoom
The manual zoom feature is controlled by the rear parking aid video camera and has one level of zoom. If the manual zoom feature is on and the vehicle is shifted out of reverse gear, the manual zoom feature is disabled. The manual zoom feature must be re-enabled the next time reverse gear is selected.
When the manual zoom feature is turned on, only the centerline is present with no other guidelines even if the fixed and/or active guidelines are selected on.
When the driver turns the zoom on or off at the FDIM, the command is sent by the APIM over the HS-CAN3 to the GWM. The GWM then sends the command to the BCM on the HS-CAN1. The BCM sends the manual zoom request message to the parking aid camera via the LIN circuit. The camera then turns the zoom on or off.
When the driver turns the zoom on or off at the FCDIM, the command is sent by the FCDIM over the HS-CAN3 to the GWM. The GWM then sends the command to the BCM on the HS-CAN1. The BCM sends the manual zoom request message to the parking aid camera via the LIN circuit. The camera then turns the zoom on or off.
Video Delay
When the video delay is turned on, the APIM (vehicles with 8 in (203 mm) touchscreen display) or the FCDIM (vehicle with 4.2 in (107 mm) display) keeps the video display enabled after the transmission is shifted out of reverse gear, into any gear other than park, until the vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h). With the delay off (default), the image displays until the transmission is shifted out of reverse gear.
Component Description
Rear Parking Aid Video Camera
The rear parking aid video camera is located on the luggage compartment lid. The camera provides a video signal any time it receives voltage and ground, regardless of configuration, but it must be configured using a diagnostic scan tool after replacement in order for all features to operate properly.
BCM
NOTE: The BCM settings and configuration have no influence over the video signal from the camera. The camera provides a video signal any time it receives voltage and ground.
