Parking Aid: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The parking aid system consists of:

Parking aid sensors (located in the rear bumper cover)
Parking Aid Module (PAM) (located behind the LH rear seat trim panel)
Parking aid speaker (located under the left side of the parcel shelf)
Parking aid disable feature (integral to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) message center)

The parking aid system calculates the distance to an object around the rear of the vehicle by the use of 3 ultrasonic sensors. The parking aid system detects objects behind the vehicle when the REVERSE (R) gear is selected.
