Abstract:
1. A vehicle system comprising: at least two sensor arrays each being configured to provide output indicative of an angular direction between the sensor array and a transmitter remote from the vehicle system, in response to receiving a signal from the transmitter; a controller in communication with the sensor arrays and configured to provide output indicative of a distance vector between at least one of the sensor arrays and the transmitter in response to the output indicative of the angular direction between the sensor array and the transmitter, wherein the controller is further configured to provide an activation signal to an external controller, the external controller being electrically connected to the transmitter, and wherein the external controller instructs the transmitter to provide the signal in response to receiving the activation signal and wherein the external controller communicates with a charging pad for controlling electrical power provided to a charging port of the vehicle system; and an interface communicating with the controller and configured to display a base element representing the charging port and a target element representing the charging pad positioned relative to each other according to the distance vector.
