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. A Vehicle with AdvanceTrac maintaining control on a slippery surface. B 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). 178 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Stability ControlE72903A AA B BB B ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
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. 179 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. 180 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE130178 E187330 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
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. 181 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE146186 ,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 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsA E130107 E130108 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
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) 183 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids ,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. 184 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). 185 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE142435 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
Active guidelines A Centerline B Fixed guideline: Green zone C Fixed guideline: Yellow zone D Fixed guideline: Red zone E Rear bumper F 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). Camera System Settings To access any of the rear view camera system settings, make the following selections in the multifunctional display when the transmission is not in reverse (R): Main Menu SettingsVehicle Camera Settings 186 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsABCD F E E142436 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
Enhanced Park Aids or Park Pilot Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF. The system uses red, yellow and green highlights that appear on top of the video image when any of the sensing systems detect an object. Rear Camera Delay Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF. The default setting for the rear camera delay is OFF. When shifting the transmission out of reverse (R) and into any gear other than park (P), the camera image remains in the display until: • Your vehicle speed sufficiently increases. • You shift your vehicle into park (P). • 10 seconds of time elapse. 187 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
