Active Park Assist
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The active park assist system is a supplementary parking system that assists the operator with the task of parallel parking in the following way:
- Parallel Park Assist - Detects an available parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space while the operator controls the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The PAM uses input from the active park assist sensors, parking aid sensors and a geometrical equation to determine whether the vehicle fits in the parking space and to determine the correct steering angles to request from the PSCM during the parking maneuvers. The system visually and/or audibly instructs the operator to park the vehicle through messages in the centerstack infotainment display and audio system warning chimes.
