PARKING ASSIST MONITOR SYSTEM


  1. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS

    Component Function
    Television Camera Assembly

    • Captures images of the area behind the vehicle.

    • The parking assist guide lines that are calculated based on signals from the steering sensor are superimposed on the captured image. Then, the image is sent to the navigation receiver assembly as video signals.

    • When the back door is open, superimposing of parking assist guide lines is canceled and only the captured image is sent as video signals.
    Radio and Display Receiver Assembly*1 Displays images of the area behind the vehicle sent from the television camera assembly using the multi-display.
    Navigation Receiver Assembly*2
    Steering Sensor Detects the angle of the steering wheel and sends the resulting signals to the television camera assembly.
    Park/Neutral Position Switch Assembly Sends an R shift position signal to the BACK UP LP relay.

    Engine Room Relay Block and Junction Block Assembly


    • BACK UP LP Relay

    		 Sends an R shift position signal to the navigation receiver assembly.
    Power Steering ECU Assembly Sends the steering type information signal to the television camera assembly.
