When the ignition is put in the RUN position, all the Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) will illuminate for approximately one second. This will be interrupted if the system senses an obstacle.

The ready status will be sensed by the outermost two yellow LED's (1) being illuminated. As the obstacle is sensed, the yellow LED's will start illuminating inward (6) until the object in approximately 40 cm (16 in.) away and then the inner red LED will light (3).

The display is sensitive to which side of the rear of the vehicle that the object is detected. If on the left rear, the left segments will light and the same for the right side of the vehicle.

CORRELATION OF LED SEGMENTS TO DISTANCE

DISPLAY LED	DISTANCE		LED COLOR	AUDIBLE SIGNAL
DISPLAY LED	REAR CORNERS	REAR CENTER	LED COLOR	AUDIBLE SIGNAL
1st LED	-	150 cm (59 in.)	Yellow	None
2nd LED		120 cm (47 in.)	Yellow	None
3rd LED		100 cm (39 in.)	Yellow	None
4th LED	80 cm (31.5 in.)	80 cm (31.5 in.)	Yellow	None
5th LED	65 cm (25.5 in.)	65 cm (25.5 in.)	Yellow	None
6th LED	50 cm (20 in.)	50 cm (20 in.)	Yellow	None
7th LED	40 cm (16 in.)	40 cm (16 in.)	Red	30 cm (12 in.) Intermittent
8th LED	15 cm (6 in.)	30 cm (12 in.)	Red	20 cm (8 in.) Continuous

There will be an audible tone when the object gets within 40 cm (16 in.) from the rear of the vehicle.

To diagnose and test the Park Assist System, use a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.
