Visual Park Aid Alert

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.

NOTE: The on-screen alert color transitions may not match changes in the audible parking aid alert tone frequency.

The visual park aid alert feature displays red, yellow or green visual alerts that appear as highlights over the video image in the zone where an object has been detected by the rear parking aid system. This feature utilizes the parking aid sensor data from the PAM to generate the visual highlights over the video image. When the reverse gear is selected and an object is detected by a rear parking aid sensor, the parking aid sensor data message is sent from the PAM through the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN) to the BCM, which sends the message to the rear parking aid camera via the LIN circuit. The camera then generates the appropriate highlights over the video image.

If the visual park aid alert feature is enabled, the feature is still operational even if the rear parking aid system has been disabled by the driver.
