Parking Aid System
The active park assist system uses input from the audible parking aid system when parking the vehicle. Input from the front and rear parking aid sensors help the PAM to determine the position of the vehicle in the parking space. For more information on the operation of the operation of the audible parking aid system, Refer to: Parking Aid - System Operation and Component Description .
EPAS Control
The PSCM controls the steering during active park assist maneuvers based on the active park assist steering angle request message received from the PAM. The PSCM also provides steering column torque data to the PAM to determine if the driver has placed their hand(s) on the steering wheel while the active park assist system has control of the steering.
Active Park Assist Chimes
The active park assist system chimes are controlled by the IPC. Based on the parking aid chime request message received from the PAM, the IPC prioritizes the incoming chime request and then commands the ACM (for vehicles without Sony Sound audio system) or the DSP (for vehicles with Sony Sound audio system) to sound the chime through the audio system speakers. In the event of an audio system fault, the IPC sounds the chimes through an integral speaker. For more information on the IPC warning chimes, Refer to: Warning Chimes - System Operation and Component Description .
