PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
Vehicle modifications involving
braking system, aftermarket roof
racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic stability
control system. In addition, installing any
stereo loudspeakers may interfere with
and adversely affect the electronic stability
control system. Install any aftermarket
stereo loudspeaker as far as possible from
the front center console, the tunnel, and
the front seats in order to minimize the risk
of interfering with the electronic stability
control sensors. Reducing the
effectiveness of the electronic stability
control system could lead to an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death. Remember that even advanced
technology cannot defy the laws of
physics. It’
s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to inappropriate
driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause
you to lose control of your vehicle
increasing the risk of personal injury or
property damage. Activation of the
electronic stability control system is an
indication that at least some of the tires
have exceeded their ability to grip the road;
this could reduce the operator ’s ability to
control the vehicle potentially resulting in
a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your electronic
stability control system activates, SLOW
DOWN. The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on. If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control
system you may experience the following
conditions:
•
The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced engine power.
• A vibration in the brake pedal.
• The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.
• If the driving condition is severe and
your foot is not on the brake, the brake
pedal may move as the systems
applies higher brake forces.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to prevent skids or lateral slides by
applying brakes to one or more of the
wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to prevent rollovers by detecting your
vehicle ’s roll motion and the rate at which
it changes by applying the brakes to one
or more wheels individually.
Traction Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to maintain traction of the wheels by
detecting and controlling wheel spin. See
Using Traction Control (page 203).

PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations
of the system as contained in this
section. Sensing is only an aid for some
(generally large and fixed) objects when
moving in reverse on a flat surface at
parking speeds. Certain objects with
surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves,
traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps,
inclement weather, air brakes, and external
motors and fans may also affect the
function of the sensing system; this may
include reduced performance or a false
activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or moving
objects. The system is designed to
provide a warning to assist the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to avoid
damaging your vehicle. The system may
not detect smaller objects, particularly
those close to the ground. Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, may
create false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system ’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms. Note:
If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey ™, it is possible to prevent turning
the sensing system off. See MyKey ™
(page
57).
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a
trailer tow package and a trailer is
connected to your vehicle, the rear sensing
system will be disabled and will not allow
you to switch the system on through the
information display. When you shift your
vehicle into reverse (R), a message appears
in the information display stating that a
trailer is connected and the rear sensing
system is disabled. If equipped, the center
stack rear sensing system display will not
be present.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically when you switch on the
ignition.
When receiving a detection warning, the
radio volume reduces to a predetermined
level. After the warning goes away, the
radio volume returns to the previous level.
You can switch the system off through the
information display menu or from the
pop-up message that appears once the
transmission is shifted into reverse (R).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display and will not allow you to switch the
faulted system on.
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As your
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than
12 in
(30 cm) away, the warning sounds
209
F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 08/2015, First Printing Parking Aids

continuously. If a stationary or receding
object is detected farther than 12 in
(30 cm) from the side your vehicle, the
tone sounds for only three seconds. Once
the system detects an object approaching,
the warning sounds again. The coverage area is up to 6 feet
(1.8 meters) from the rear
bumper. There is decreased
coverage area at the outer
corners of the bumper.
A
The system detects certain objects while
the transmission is in reverse (R):
• and moving toward a stationary object
at a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
• but not moving, and a moving object is
approaching the rear of your vehicle at
a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
• and moving at a speed of less than
3 mph (5 km/h)
and a moving object
is approaching the rear of your vehicle
at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The system provides audio warnings only
when your vehicle is moving or when your
vehicle is stationary and the detected
obstacle is fewer than
12 in (30 cm) away
from the bumper. The system provides obstacle distance
indication through the center stack display
(if equipped). The distance indication will
be present when the transmission is in
reverse (R).
•
As the distance to the obstacle
decreases (obstacle becomes closer),
the indicator blocks will illuminate and
move towards the vehicle icon.
• If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks will be grayed
out.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped) WARNINGS
Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot
replace the driver ’s attention and
judgment. The driver is responsible for
avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe
distance and speed, even when the system
is in use. Active Park Assist does not apply the
brakes under any circumstances.
Note:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.
Active Park Assist is an electronic parking
aid that uses ultrasonic sensors. The
system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers
your vehicle into the space (hands-free)
while you control the accelerator, gearshift
and brakes. The system visually and
audibly instructs you to park your vehicle.
210
F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 08/2015, First Printing Parking AidsE130178

The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front
bumper and the parking space (a
pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of the
neighboring parked vehicle is high off the
ground (for example, a bus, tow truck or
flatbed truck).
Note:
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain, snow or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note: Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. Covered sensors
can affect the system's accuracy. Do not
clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Do not use the system if:
• You have attached a foreign object
(bike rack or trailer) to the front or rear
of your vehicle or close to the sensors.
• You have attached an overhanging
object (surfboard) to the roof. •
A foreign object damages or obstructs
the sensors.
• The correct tire size is not in use on your
vehicle (for example, a mini-spare tire).
Using Active Park Assist Press the button located on the
center console near the gearshift
lever.
The touchscreen displays a message and
a corresponding graphic to indicate it is
searching for a parking space. Use the
direction indicator to indicate which side
of your vehicle you want the system to
search.
Note: The system automatically searches
on the passenger side. You can use the
direction indicator to toggle between the
driver and passenger side.
Note: You can also activate the Active Park
Assist system after you have already driven
partially or completely past a parking space.
To do so, press the Active Park button and
the system will inform you if you have
recently passed a suitable parking space. When the system finds a suitable space,
the touchscreen displays a message and
a tone sounds. Stop your vehicle and
follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
If your vehicle is moving very slowly, you
may need to pull forward a short distance
before the system is ready to park.
Note:
You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions at all
times in the maneuver.

Certain vehicle conditions can also
deactivate the system, such as:
•
Traction control has activated on a
slippery or loose surface.
• There is an anti-lock brake system
activation or failure. If a problem occurs with the system, a
warning message displays, followed by a
tone. Occasional system messages may
occur in normal operation. For recurring or
frequent system faults, contact an
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
serviced.
Troubleshooting the System The system does not look for a space
The traction control system may be off.
The transmission is in reverse (R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
parking space.
You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After a battery disconnect, you must
drive your vehicle for a short period of time before Active Park Assist becomes functional. The system does not offer a particular space
Something may be contacting the sensors.
There is not enough room in the parking space for the vehicle to safely park.
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
space.
Your vehicle is farther than 4.9 ft (1.5 m) from the parking space.
Your vehicle is closer than
16 in (40 cm) from neighboring parked vehicles.
The transmission is in reverse (R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
parking space.
Your vehicle is going faster than
22 mph (35 km/h). The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (rolling forward with
reverse (R) selected).

6 mph (10 km/h)
. This occurs when the
rear camera delay feature is on, or until a
radio button is pressed.
360 DEGREE CAMERA (If Equipped) WARNINGS
The 360 degree camera system is a
supplement system that still requires
the driver to use it in conjunction with
looking out the windows, and checking the
interior and exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage. You may not see objects that are
close to either corner of the bumper
or under the bumper due to the
limited coverage of the camera system. Use caution when turning camera
features ON or OFF while out of park
(P). Make sure your vehicle is not
moving. The 360 degree camera system consists
of front, side and rear cameras. The
system:
•
Allows you to see what is directly in
front or behind your vehicle.
• Provides cross traffic view in front and
behind your vehicle.
• Allows you to see a top-down view of
the area outside your vehicle, including
