Image Display

The rear park aid camera image is displayed by the FDIM when reverse gear is selected. To determine the selector lever position and enable the rear park aid camera display, the PCM sends the gear position message over the HS-CAN1 to the GWM and BCM. The GWM then sends the message to the APIM on the HS-CAN3.

The BCM provides power to the rear view camera when the ignition is in the ON position. The BCM rear parking aid camera stand by mode is used to turn off the camera video signal when the vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or greater or turn on the camera video signal when the vehicle speed is 8 mph (13 km/h) or lower in reverse. The camera generates a video signal any time it's on regardless of the current configuration. If the camera is not configured properly, some features may be inoperative. When the rear parking aid camera is on, the image signal is sent from the camera on shielded twisted pair wires to the APIM, which displays the image on the FDIM.

The following parking aid camera system features are configured by the driver using the FDIM:

• 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. The image is not displayed if the vehicle is shifted into park.

The following camera system feature is not driver selectable and always on:

• Fixed guidelines -- assists the driver with aligning the vehicle with an object.

To turn the manual zoom feature on and off, the driver uses an on screen button located on the FDIM display while in reverse. The driver generated commands originate at the FDIM, which is hardwired to the APIM. The APIM sends the driver generated commands over the HS-CAN3 to the GWM. The GWM then sends the commands to the BCM on the HS-CAN1. The BCM then sends the command to the rear parking aid camera via the LIN circuit. The manual zoom is generated by the rear parking aid camera.

The video delay feature is generated by the APIM and displayed on the FDIM. The FDIM settings menu is used to turn the video delay feature on and off. The video delay feature is initialized off and remains in the last mode based on the driver's setting.

The fixed guidelines are generated by the rear parking aid camera and are not selectable by the driver.
