    NOTE: The object used in this system check can be fabricated from 9 cm O.D. (3 in I.D.) plastic pipe, 100 cm (39 in) length (available as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, or similar from a hardware or plumbing supply).
    NOTE: This system check should be carried out with the vehicle on a level surface.
    NOTE: The parking aid system will default to on when the ignition key is cycled from OFF to ON.
  1. Turn the ignition to the ON position, engine off.
  2. Set the parking brake on.
  3. Place the gearshift in REVERSE (R).
  4. Verify that the parking aid system detects the specified object when placed within the 5 specified locations (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5). These zones are shown ideally and are not absolute. The pipe should be inside of the locations.
    • The sounder should beep slowly when objects are detected on the outer edges of the detection zone, and increase as the object is moved closer to the vehicle. When the object is within 46 cm (18 in) of the rear bumper, the sounder should sound continuously.
    • If the Parking Aid Module (PAM) does not detect the object above, refer to PARKING AID - EXPEDITION .
