Camera Features

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The system supports several rear camera features to assist the driver.

The following features are driver selectable:

Visual park aid alert -- visually alerts the driver to objects causing the parking aid system to sound.
Manual zoom -- allows the driver to manually zoom the image.
Video delay -- allows the driver to see the image behind the vehicle after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse into any gear other than park.
Active guidelines -- displays the intended path of the vehicle based upon steering wheel input.

The following features are not driver selectable:

Fixed guidelines -- displays guidelines to assist the driver with aligning the vehicle with an object.

The system supports visual park aid alert on the rear and front normal camera views. The visual park aid alert feature is displayed as a vehicle icon in the upper part of the display. This icon is generated by the APIM.

To turn the manual zoom on and off, the driver generated commands originate at the FDIM, which is hardwired to the APIM. The commands are sent by the APIM to the IPMB via the HS-CAN3 then to the GWM over the HS-CAN2. The IPMB then sends the zoom command to the rear camera via the LIN circuit. The image is then zoomed in or out by the rear camera.

The video delay feature is controlled within the APIM.

The fixed and active guidelines are generated by the rear parking aid camera based on the IPMB commands.
