Collision Avoidance and Parking Assist Systems: Description and Operation




Parking Aid - Expedition

The parking aid system consists of the following:

- Parking Aid Module (PAM) and radar sensor (the radar sensor is part of the PAM, located in the rear bumper)
- Parking aid speaker (located in the LH C-pillar trim panel)
- Parking aid disable feature (integral to the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center)

The parking aid radar sensor is integral to the PAM and no additional sensors are used. The PAM is located in the center of the rear bumper between the bumper isolator and the bumper cover.

Video (If Equipped)

The rear video camera system consists of the following:

- Rear video camera (located in the center of the liftgate mounted to the liftgate license plate lamp housing)
- Auto-dimming interior mirror (without navigation)
- Audio Control Module (ACM) (with navigation)

The video camera is activated when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). The image from the rear video camera is displayed in the LH side of the auto-dimming interior mirror (without navigation) or the ACM (with navigation). The displayed video image is horizontally inverted and is viewed from the video camera perspective to mimic a conventional mirror image.
