Rear Parking Aid - Ford RANGER 2016 Owner's Manual

REAR PARKING AID

WARNINGS
Sensing is only an aid to detect some
objects when moving forward or
backward at low speeds. Traffic
control systems, inclement weather or an
external motor and fan can affect the
sensors; this may include reduced
performance or false activation. To help
avoid personal injury you must read and
understand the limitations of the system
detailed in this section.
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.
Rear Sensing System
When the parking aid system produces an
audible warning, the audio system may
reduce the set volume to a predetermined
level.
Note: Some add-on equipment can cause
reduced performance or false activation.
For example, large trailer hitches, bike or
surfboard racks.
Note: The parking aid system sensors must
be kept clean and free from snow or ice to
avoid reduced performance or false
activation. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects.
Note: If the parking aid sensors are
misaligned due to vehicle bumper damage
it will cause reduced performance or false
activation.

Parking Aids
The rear parking aid sensors turn on
automatically when you move the
transmission selector lever to reverse (R)
and your vehicle is moving at a speed of
less than 5 km/h (3 mph). Moving your
vehicle closer to a large object will increase
the audible warning repeat rate. When the
object is less than 30 cm (12 in) from the
center of your vehicle's rear bumper the
audible warning will sound continuously.
