    							PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    WARNINGS
    Vehicle modifications involving
    braking system, aftermarket roof
    racks, suspension, steering system,
    tire construction and wheel and tire size
    may change the handling characteristics
    of the vehicle and may adversely affect
    the performance of the AdvanceTrac
    system. In addition, installing any stereo
    loudspeakers may interfere with and
    adversely affect the AdvanceTrac system.
    Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker
    as far as possible from the front center
    console, the tunnel, and the front seats in
    order to minimize the risk of interfering with
    the AdvanceTrac sensors. Reducing the
    effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac system
    could lead to an increased risk of loss of
    vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
    injury and death. Remember that even advanced
    technology cannot defy the laws of
    physics. It’
    s always possible to lose
    control of a vehicle due to inappropriate
    driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
    driving on any road condition can cause
    you to lose control of your vehicle
    increasing the risk of personal injury or
    property damage. Activation of the
    AdvanceTrac system is an indication that
    at least some of the tires have exceeded
    their ability to grip the road; this could
    reduce the operator ’s ability to control the
    vehicle potentially resulting in a loss of
    vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
    injury and death. If your AdvanceTrac
    system activates, SLOW DOWN. The AdvanceTrac Control system helps
    you keep control of your vehicle when on
    a slippery surface. The electronic stability
    control portion of the system helps avoid
    skids and lateral slides. The traction
    control system helps avoid drive wheel
    spin and loss of traction.  See Using
    Traction Control (page 177). Vehicle without AdvanceTrac
    skidding off its intended route.

    USING STABILITY CONTROL
    AdvanceTrac®
    The system automatically activates when
    you start your vehicle. The AdvanceTrac
    system cannot be completely turned off,
    but the electronic stability control system
    is disabled when the transmission selector
    lever is in position 
    R. You can turn off the
    traction control portion of the system
    independently.  See 
    Using Traction
    Control (page 177).

    							PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    WARNINGS
    To help avoid personal injury, please
    read and understand the limitations
    of the system as contained in this
    section. Sensing is only an aid for some
    (generally large and fixed) objects when
    moving on a flat surface at parking speeds.
    Certain objects with surfaces that absorb
    ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's
    parking aid systems, traffic control
    systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement
    weather, air brakes, and external motors
    and fans may also affect the function of
    the sensing system; this may include
    reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
    use caution when in reverse (R) and
    when using the sensing system.
    This system is not designed to
    prevent contact with small or moving
    objects. The system is designed to
    provide a warning to assist the driver in
    detecting large stationary objects to avoid
    damaging your vehicle. The system may
    not detect smaller objects, particularly
    those close to the ground. Certain add-on devices such as large
    trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
    and any device that may block the
    normal detection zone of the system, may
    create false beeps. Note:
    Keep the sensors, located on the
    bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
    large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
    are covered, the system ’s accuracy can be
    affected. Do not clean the sensors with
    sharp objects.
    Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to
    the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned
    or bent, the sensing zone may be altered
    causing inaccurate measurement of
    obstacles or false alarms. Note:
    The sensing system cannot be turned
    off when a MyKey is present.  See Principle
    of Operation (page 54).
    Note: If you attach certain add-on devices
    such as a trailer or bike rack, the rear sensing
    system may detect that add-on device and
    therefore provide warnings. It is suggested
    that you disable the rear sensing system
    when you attach an add-on device to your
    vehicle to prevent these warnings.
    The sensing system warns the driver of
    obstacles within a certain range of your
    vehicle. The system turns on automatically
    whenever you switch the ignition on.
    The system can be switched off through
    the information display menu or from the
    pop-up message that appears once you
    shift the transmission into reverse (R).  See
    General Information
     (page 96).
    Note: On vehicles with front parking aid you
    can use the parking aid switch to switch the
    system off.
    If a fault is present in the system, a warning
    message appears in the information
    display.  See 
    Information Messages
    (page 105).
    REAR PARKING AID
    The rear sensors are only active when the
    transmission is in reverse (R). As your
    vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
    rate of the audible warning increases.
    When the obstacle is less than 
    12 in
    (30 cm) away, the warning sounds
    continuously. If the system detects a
    stationary or receding object farther than
    12 in (30 cm)
     from the corners of the
    bumper, the tone sounds for only three
    seconds. Once the system detects an
    object approaching, the warning sounds
    again.

    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							Coverage area of up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from
    the rear bumper. There may be decreased
    coverage area at the outer corners of the
    bumper.
    The system detects certain objects while
    the transmission is in reverse (R) :
    • Your vehicle is moving toward a
    stationary object at a speed of 
    3 mph
    (5 km/h) or less.
    • Your vehicle is not moving, but a
    moving object is approaching the rear
    of your vehicle at a speed of 
    3 mph
    (5 km/h) or less.
    • Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
    less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving
    object is approaching the rear of your
    vehicle at a speed of less than 
    3 mph
    (5 km/h).
    The system provides audio warnings only
    when your vehicle is moving or when your
    vehicle is stationary and the detected
    obstacle is less than 
    12 in (30 cm) away
    from the bumper.
    FRONT PARKING AID
    The front sensors are active when the
    transmission is in reverse (R) or drive (D). Coverage area of up to 
    28 in (70 cm) from
    the front bumper. There is decreased
    coverage area at the outer corners.
    When your vehicle approaches an object,
    a warning tone sounds. When your vehicle
    moves closer to an object, the warning
    tone repeat rate increases. The warning
    tone sounds continuously when an object
    is 
    12 in (30 cm) or less from the front
    bumper.
    If the transmission is in reverse (R), the
    front sensing system provides audio
    warnings when your vehicle is moving and
    the detected obstacle is stationary or
    moving towards your vehicle.
    If the transmission is in drive (D) or any
    other forward gear (for example, low (L),
    sport (S) or any forward gear in a manual
    transmission), the front sensing system
    provides audio warnings when your vehicle
    is moving below a speed of 
    7 mph
    (12 km/h) and an obstacle is located inside
    the detection area.

    							ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped)
    WARNING
    Designed to be a supplementary park
    aid, this system may not work in all
    conditions. This system cannot
    replace the driver ’s attention and
    judgment. The driver is responsible for
    avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe
    distance and speed, even when the system
    is in use. Note:
    The driver is always responsible for
    controlling the vehicle, supervising the
    system and intervening if required.
    The system detects an available parallel
    parking space and automatically steers
    your vehicle into the space (hands-free)
    while you control the accelerator, gearshift
    and brakes. The system visually and
    audibly instructs you to park your vehicle.
    The system may not function correctly if
    something passes between the front
    bumper and the parking space (a
    pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of the
    neighboring parked vehicle is high off the
    ground (for example, a bus, tow truck or
    flatbed truck).
    Note: The blindspot information system
    does not detect traffic alongside or behind
    your vehicle during a park assist maneuver.
    Note: The sensors may not detect objects
    in heavy rain or other conditions that cause
    disruptive reflections. Note:
    The sensors may not detect objects
    with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves
    or cause ultrasonic interference (motorcycle
    exhaust, truck air brakes or horns).
    Do not use the system if:
    • You have attached a foreign object
    (bike rack or trailer) to the front or rear
    of your vehicle or attached close to the
    sensors.
    • You have attached an overhanging
    object (surfboard) to the roof.
    • The front bumper or side sensors are
    damaged or obstructed by a foreign
    object (front bumper cover).
    • A mini-spare tire is in use.
    Using Active Park Assist Press the button located on the
    center console near the gearshift
    lever or the right side of the
    center stack.
    The touchscreen displays a message and
    a corresponding graphic to indicate it is
    searching for a parking space. Use the
    direction indicator to indicate which side
    of your vehicle you want the system to
    search.
    Note: If the direction indicator is not on, the
    system automatically searches on your
    vehicle's passenger side.

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							When the system finds a suitable space,
    the touchscreen displays a message and
    a tone sounds. Slow down, continue
    moving forward and stop when another
    tone sounds and a message displays on
    the touchscreen (at approximately position
    A), then follow the instructions on the
    touchscreen.
    Note:
    You must observe that the selected
    space remains clear of obstructions at all
    times in the maneuver.
    Note: Active park assist may not detect
    vehicles with overhanging loads (a bus or a
    truck), street furniture and other items. You
    must make sure the selected space is
    suitable for parking.
    Note: You should drive your vehicle within
    4.9 ft (1.5 m) to the other vehicles while
    passing a parking space. Note:
    The system always offers the last
    detected parking space (for example, if the
    vehicle detects multiple spaces while you
    are driving, it offers the last one).
    Note: If driven above approximately 22 mph
    (35 km/h)
    , the touchscreen shows a
    message to alert you to reduce your vehicle
    speed.
    Automatic Steering into Parking
    Space
    Note: If your vehicle speed exceeds 
    6 mph
    (9 km/h), the system switches off and you
    need to take full control of your vehicle.
    When you shift the transmission into
    reverse (R), with your hands off the wheel
    (and nothing obstructing its movement),
    your vehicle steers itself into the space.
    Indicated by tones, instructions to move
    your vehicle back and forth in the space,
    display on the touchscreen. 182

    							When you think your vehicle has enough
    space in front and behind it, or you hear a
    solid tone from the parking aid
    (accompanied by a touchscreen display
    message and a chime), bring your vehicle
    to a complete stop.
    When automatic steering is finished, the
    touch screen displays a message and a
    tone sounds, indicating that the active park
    assist process is done. The driver is
    responsible for checking the parking job
    and making any necessary corrections
    before putting the transmission in park (P).
    Deactivating the Park Assist
    Feature
    Manually deactivate the system by:
    •
    Pressing the active park assist button.
    • Grabbing the steering wheel. •
    Driving above approximately 50 mph
    (80 km/h) for 10 seconds during an
    active park search.
    • Driving above 
    6 mph (9 km/h) during
    automatic steering.
    • Turning off the traction control system.
    Certain vehicle conditions can also
    deactivate the system, such as:
    • Traction control has activated on a
    slippery or loose surface.
    • There is an anti-lock brake system
    activation or failure.
    • Something touches the steering wheel.
    If a problem occurs with the system, a
    warning message is displayed, followed
    by a tone. Occasional system messages
    may occur in normal operation. For
    recurring or frequent system faults, contact
    an authorized dealer to have your vehicle
    serviced.
    Troubleshooting the System The system does not look for a space
    The traction control system may be off
    The transmission is in Reverse ( R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
    parking space The system does not offer a particular space
    Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors
    There is not enough room on both sides of your vehicle in order to park
    There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
    space
    The parking space is farther than 
    4.9 ft (1.5 m) or closer than 15.7 in (0.4 m) away.
    The transmission is in Reverse ( R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
    parking space
    Your vehicle is going faster than 
    22 mph (35 km/h)

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
    Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (rolling forward when
    Reverse [R] is selected)
    An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning your vehicle
    properly
    Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly
    You pulled your vehicle too far past the parking space. The system performs best when
    you drive the same distance past the parking space
    The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (not inflated correctly, improper
    size, or of different sizes)
    A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities
    A parked vehicle has a high attachment (salt sprayer, snowplow, moving truck bed,
    etc.)
    The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed
    The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (driving from a heated garage
    into the cold, or after leaving a car wash)
    REAR VIEW CAMERA (If Equipped) WARNINGS
    The rear view camera system is a
    reverse aid supplement device that
    still requires the driver to use it in
    conjunction with the interior and exterior
    mirrors for maximum coverage. Objects that are close to either
    corner of the bumper or under the
    bumper, might not be seen on the
    screen due to the limited coverage of the
    camera system. Back up as slow as possible since
    higher speeds might limit your
    reaction time to stop your vehicle. WARNINGS
    Use caution when using the rear
    video camera and the luggage
    compartment door is ajar. If the
    luggage compartment door is ajar, the
    camera will be out of position and the
    video image may be incorrect. All
    guidelines disappear when the luggage
    compartment door is ajar. Use caution when turning camera
    features on or off. Make sure your
    vehicle is not moving.
    The rear view camera system provides a
    video image of the area behind your
    vehicle.
    During operation, lines appear in the
    display which represent your vehicle
    ’s path
    and proximity to objects behind your
    vehicle.

    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							The camera is located on the luggage
    compartment door.
    Using the Rear View Camera
    System
    The rear view camera system displays
    what is behind your vehicle when you place
    the transmission in reverse (R).
    Note:
    The reverse sensing system is not
    effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
    and may not detect certain angular or
    moving objects.
    The system uses three types of guides to
    help you see what is behind your vehicle:
    • Active guidelines: Show the intended
    path of your vehicle when reversing.
    • Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
    your vehicle is moving in while reversing
    in a straight line. This can be helpful
    when backing into a parking space or
    aligning your vehicle with another
    object behind you.
    • Centerline: Helps align the center of
    your vehicle with an object (for
    example, a trailer).
    Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)
    and the luggage compartment door or
    liftgate is open, no rear view camera
    features will display. Note:
    When towing, the camera only sees
    what you are towing. This might not provide
    adequate coverage as it usually provides in
    normal operation and some objects might
    not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines
    may disappear when you connect the trailer
    tow connector.
    The camera may not operate correctly
    under the following conditions:
    • Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
    reverse lamps are not operating.
    • Mud, water or debris obstructs the
    camera's view. Clean the lens with a
    soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive
    cleaner.
    • The rear of your vehicle is hit or
    damaged, causing the camera to
    become misaligned.
    Camera Guidelines
    Note: Active guidelines are only available
    when the transmission is in reverse (R).

    Active guidelines are only shown with fixed
    guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn
    the steering wheel to point the guidelines
    toward an intended path. If you change the
    steering wheel position while reversing,
    your vehicle might deviate from the original
    intended path.
    The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
    out depending on the steering wheel
    position. The active guidelines do not
    display when the steering wheel position
    is straight. Always use caution while reversing.
    Objects in the red zone are closest to your
    vehicle and objects in the green zone are
    farther away. Objects are getting closer to
    your vehicle as they move from the green
    zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the
    side view mirrors and rear view mirror to
    get better coverage on both sides and rear
    of the vehicle.
    Manual Zoom
    WARNING
    When manual zoom is on, the full
    area behind your vehicle may not
    show. Be aware of your surroundings
    when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
    Manual zoom is only available when
    the transmission is in reverse (R).
    Note: When you enable manual zoom, only
    the centerline is shown.
    Selectable settings for this feature are
    Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the
    symbol in the camera screen to change the
    view. The default setting is Zoom OFF.
    This allows you to get a closer view of an
    object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
    image keeps the bumper in the image to
    provide a reference. The zoom is only
    active while the transmission is in reverse
    (R).
