Camera Features: Notes

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

The following parking aid camera system are driver selectable:

Visual park aid alert - assists the driver to visually see the object 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 the reverse into any gear other than park.

The following camera system features are not driver selectable:

Fixed guidelines - assists the driver with aligning the vehicle with an object.
Active guidelines (if equipped) - displays the intended path of the vehicle based upon steering wheel input. This feature is only on vehicles equipped with active park assist.

To turn the visual park aid alert and 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 BCM via the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN) and the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN), through the GWM. The BCM then sends the command to the camera via the LIN circuit. The requested features are then generated by the rear parking aid camera.

The video delay feature is controlled within the APIM.

The fixed and active (if equipped) guidelines are generated by the rear parking aid camera and are not selectable by the driver.
