The parking assistance system serves as an aid to the driver when parking the vehicle. Based on information from a number of sensors, the system can warn of objects near the vehicle. The warning is in the form of an acoustic signal that is emitted from the speakers connected to the audio module (AUD) or the integrated audio module (IAM). This acoustic warning is regulated by the parking assistance module (PAM) sending signals to the audio module (AUD) or integrated audio module (IAM) via the infotainment control module (ICM).

When the parking assistance system is active, a graphic and/or text message appears in the infotainment control module (ICM) display and an LED illuminates in a switch located on the climate control module (CCM) panel. The system can be activated and deactivated both automatically and manually.
