Parking Aid
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking aid system consists of:
- 4 Ultrasonic parking aid sensors (located in the rear bumper cover)
- Parking Aid Module (PAM), parking aid speaker (both located behind the LR quarter trim panel)
- Parking aid disable feature (integral to the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center)
The parking aid system calculates the distance to an object around the rear of the vehicle by the use of 4 ultrasonic sensors. The parking aid system sounds a warning to alert the driver of stationary objects near the rear bumper when REVERSE (R) is selected.
The rear sensors are activated when REVERSE (R) is selected. The parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves slowly in reverse at speeds of less than 4.8 km/h (3 mph). The parking aid system may not detect angular or moving objects.
