Minimum Detectable Object Locations
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, engine off.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Place the gear shift in REVERSE (R).
- Verify that the Parking Aid Module (PAM) detects the objects when placed in the 5 specified locations (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5).
- The speaker should beep slowly when objects are detected on the outer edges of the detection zone, and increase as the object is moved closer to the vehicle. When the object is within 25 cm (10 in) of the rear bumper, the sounder should sound continuously.
- If the PAM does not detect the object above, refer to PARKING AID in the Diagnosis and Testing portion of this information.
NOTE:
The object used in this system check can be fabricated using a 9 cm diameter (3 in I.D.) pipe, 100 cm (39 in) in length (available as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, or similar from a hardware or plumbing supply.
NOTE:
The following system check should be carried out with the vehicle on a level surface.
NOTE:
The parking aid system defaults to on when the ignition key is cycled from the OFF position to the ON position.
