Visual Park Aid Alert

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The visual park aid alert feature utilizes the 4 parking aid sensor inputs from the PAM and the rear video camera image. When the transmission selector is in REVERSE (R) and an object is detected behind the vehicle in the path of the parking aid sensor, a network message containing the parking aid sensor distance to object data is sent from the PAM to the BCM over the HS-CAN. The BCM sends the parking aid sensor data message to the rear video camera over the LIN. The visual alerts the appear as red, yellow or green highlights on top of the displayed image to indicate in which zone the object is detected. The highlighted visual alerts are still operational if the parking aid system is disabled within the IPC and the visual alert feature is enabled.
