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 IPMB to determine the position of the vehicle in the parking space. For more information on the operation of the audible parking aid system, Refer to: Parking Aid .
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 IPMB, the IPC prioritizes the incoming chime request and then commands the ACM (for vehicles without Bang and Olufsen audio system) For more information on the IPC warning chimes, Refer to: Warning Chimes - 3.5L Duratec (202kW/275PS)/3.5L EcoBoost (235kW/320PS) - System Operation and Component Description . Refer to: Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes - Electric .
