Front Parking Aid - Ford FIESTA 2017 Owner's Manual

FRONT PARKING AID

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 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.
To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
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.

A 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.
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.
