Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Parking Aid: Notes
The parking aid system consists of:
- Parking aid sensors (located in the rear bumper cover)
- Parking Aid Module (PAM) (located behind the LH rear seat trim panel)
- Parking aid speaker (located under the left side of the parcel shelf)
- Parking aid disable feature (integral to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) message center)
The parking aid system calculates the distance to an object around the rear of the vehicle by the use of 3 ultrasonic sensors. The parking aid system detects objects behind the vehicle when the REVERSE (R) gear is selected.
