Parking Aid - Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rear parking aid system sounds a warning tone through the rear audio speakers to alert the driver of stationary objects near the rear bumper when reverse is selected. The rear parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves slowly with the transmission in reverse at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The rear parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

If equipped, the front parking aid system sounds a warning through the front audio speakers to alert the driver of stationary objects near the front bumper in all transmission gear selections except park and neutral. The front parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The front parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

The parking aid system is disabled if a fault is detected in a parking aid sensor, the communications network or the PAM. This is indicated by a parking aid disabled warning message in the message center.

The parking aid system is enabled and disabled through the message center, located in the IPC. Disabling lasts one key cycle.

If a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the parking aid menu is not available in the message center and cannot be deactivated.
