Parking Aid Chime

The parking aid system uses a visual display in the FDIM and a chime to alert the driver to objects close to the vehicle. The parking aid chime sounds a repetitive chime tone that decreases the time off between chime tones as objects get closer to the sensor until a continuous tone is heard through the rear speakers.

The IPC receives the parking aid chime request from the GWM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN).

The GWM receives the parking aid chime request from the Parking Aid Module (PAM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN).

When a chime request is received, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and the audio DSP (with THX® audio system) to sound the chime.
