System Description [08/2015 - 08/2019]

  1. GENERAL 
    1. This system has a front television camera assembly to display the front view of the vehicle on the multi-display assembly.
    2. This system consists of the following components:
      1. Parking assist ECU
      2. Front television camera assembly
      3. Steering pad switch assembly (wide view front and side monitor switch)
      4. Multi-media module receiver assembly
      5. Multi-display assembly
      6. Spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly
      7. Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)
      8. Four wheel drive control ECU
      9. ECM
    3. This system is equipped with a self-diagnosis system, which is operated from a designated window that appears on the display panel, just as in the navigation system or audio and visual system.
  2. OPERATION EXPLANATION 
    1. The front and side monitor main switch ON signal is sent from the main switch to the parking assist ECU.

      After receiving the front and side monitor main switch ON signal, the parking assist ECU switches the display signal for the multi-display assembly from the multi-media module receiver assembly to the wide view front monitor system.

  3. DISPLAY CONDITIONS FOR FRONT MONITOR DISPLAY
