Camera Features

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The following features are driver selectable:

Visual park aid alert -- allows the driver to see the 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 (R) into any gear other than park (P).

The following features are not driver selectable:

Fixed guidelines -- displays guidelines to assist the driver with aligning the vehicle with an object.
Active guidelines -- displays the intended path of the vehicle based upon steering wheel input.

The system supports visual park aid alert on 360 + Normal and Normal views. Front and rear split view do not include visual park aid alert. For views that include the 360 degree overhead image, the visual park aid alert is generated by the IPMA. For views that do not include the 360 degree overhead image, the visual park aid alert feature is generated by the APIM.

To turn the manual zoom on and off, the driver generated commands originate at the audio system display, which is physically connected to the APIM. The commands are sent by the APIM to the IPMA via the HS-CAN3, GWM and FD-CAN. The IPMA then sends the zoom command to the rear camera via a coaxial cable. 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 IPMA and are not selectable by the driver.
