Parking Aid - Audible

Component Description

Parking Aid Sensors

The parking aid sensors are wide beam ultrasonic sensors. The sensors continuously send out ultrasonic signals to detect objects and communicate the information back to the PAM (Parking Aid Module).

Only objects which reflect enough sound waves will be detected by the sensors. This varies due to the shape, surface properties and size of objects being detected. Incorrect sensor alignment, dirt covered sensors, heavy rain and snow can cause objects not to be recognized.

Parking Aid Module (PAM)

The PAM (Parking Aid Module) calculates and reports via audible output the distance between the rear of the vehicle (and front of the vehicle, if equipped) and an object. The PAM (Parking Aid Module) requires PMI (Programmable Module Installation) when replaced.
