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.
Control Module
The parking assistance module (PAM) assists the driver when parking. Information from a number of sensors allows the control module to warn of objects close to the vehicle. A sound is transmitted through the loudspeaker which is connected to the integrated audio module (IAM).
A text message is displayed in the infotainment control module (ICM) when the parking assistance system is active. The parking assistance system can be temporarily deactivated at lower speeds. This is done manually using the control on the panel for the infotainment control module (ICM).
The components which are directly connected to the parking assistance module (PAM) are:
- rear sensors
- front sensors (option).
The parking assistance module (PAM) communicates on the controller area network (CAN) with:
- central electronic module (CEM)
- driver information module (DIM)
- transmission control module (TCM)
- infotainment control module (ICM)
- trailer module (TRM) (option).
