PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: 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 on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Certain objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's
parking aid systems, 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. WARNING:
Always drive with due
care and attention when using and
operating the controls and features on your
vehicle. WARNING:
Only use the Ford
approved trailer wiring kit (including the
trailer wiring module) when towing with
your vehicle. Using generic trailer wiring kits
may prevent the correct operation of the
rear parking sensors (where fitted) and
could damage the electrical systems of
your vehicle. WARNING:
The sensors may not
detect objects in heavy rain or other
conditions that cause interference. WARNING:
The parking aid system
may not prevent contact with small or
moving objects that are close to the
ground. The parking aid system gives an
audible warning when it detects a large
object helping to avoid damage to your
vehicle. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking aid
system. Note:
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors
briefly from a distance not less than
8 in
(20 cm).
Note: If your vehicle has a tow ball arm, the
system is turned off automatically when
trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are
connected to the 13-pin socket through a
Ford approved trailer tow module.
Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice
or snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: The system may emit false alerts if
it detects a signal using the same frequency
as the sensors or if your vehicle is fully
loaded.
Note: The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance
between the outer sensors and the side wall
remains constant for three seconds, the
alert will turn off. As you continue the inner
sensors will detect objects directly behind
your vehicle.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper or fascia, the sensing zone may
be altered causing inaccurate measure of
obstacles or false alerts.
REAR PARKING AID WARNING:
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 on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Certain objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's
parking aid systems, 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.

FRONT PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNING:
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 on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Certain objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's
parking aid systems, 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. WARNING:
To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in reverse
(R) and when using the sensing system. WARNING:
The parking aid system
may not prevent contact with small or
moving objects that are close to the
ground. The parking aid system gives an
audible warning when it detects a large
object helping to avoid damage to your
vehicle. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking aid
system.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
The system warns you of objects that are
within the detection zone of the bumper
areas. When the parking aid system sounds a
tone, the audio system may reduce the set
volume. When the warning ends, the audio
system will return to the previously set
volume.
The front parking aid sensors automatically
turn on when you shift into reverse (R) or
you press the parking aid button.
Coverage area of up to 31 in (80
cm) from the center of the
bumper and up to 14 in (35 cm)
to the side of the bumper.
A
As your vehicle moves closer an obstacle,
the rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than
12 in
(30 cm) away, the audible warning sounds
continuously. If a stationary or receding
object is detected
12 in (30 cm) or more
from the side of your vehicle, the audible
warning sounds for only three seconds.
Once the system detects an object
approaching, the audible warning sounds
again.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that
the steering power assist works.
FLOOR MATS WARNING: Use a floor mat designed
to fit the footwell of your vehicle that does
not obstruct the pedal area. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING: Pedals that cannot
move freely can cause loss of vehicle
control and increase the risk of serious
personal injury. WARNING:
Secure the floor mat to
both retention devices so that it cannot
slip out of position and interfere with the
pedals. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:

floor mats or any other covering on top of
the original floor mats. This could result in
the floor mat interfering with the operation
of the pedals. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Always make sure that
objects cannot fall into the driver foot well
while your vehicle is moving. Objects that
are loose can become trapped under the
pedals causing a loss of vehicle control. To install the floor mats, position the floor
mat eyelet over the retention post and
press down to lock in position.
To remove the floor mat, reverse the
installation procedure.
Note:
Regularly check the floor mats to
make sure they are secure.
