    							Note:
    The system always offers the last
    detected parking space (for example, if your
    vehicle detects multiple spaces while you
    are driving, it offers the last one).
    Note: If driven above approximately 19 mph
    (30 km/h), the system shows a message to
    alert you to reduce your vehicle speed.
    Automatic Steering into Parking Space
    Note: If your vehicle speed exceeds 
    6 mph
    (10 km/h) or the maneuver is interrupted
    (driver input), 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.
    The system displays instructions to move
    your vehicle back and forth in the space.
    When you think your vehicle is properly
    parked, or you hear a solid tone from the
    parking aid (accompanied by a display
    message and a chime), bring your vehicle
    to a complete stop.
    When automatic steering is complete, the
    system displays a message and a tone
    sounds, indicating that the active park
    assist process is finished. You are
    responsible for checking the parking job
    and making any necessary corrections
    before leaving your vehicle.
    Using Active Park Assist - Parallel Park
    Out Assist
    While your vehicle is at rest in a
    parallel parking space, press the
    active park assist button.
    The system displays a message requesting
    an indication of direction. Use the direction
    indicator to signal which side of your
    vehicle you want to exit the parking space. 188

    							The system determines the clearance to
    the front and rear of your vehicle and
    automatically steers your vehicle out of a
    parallel parking space (hands-free) while
    you control the accelerator, gearshift and
    brakes. The system visually and audibly
    guides you to enter traffic.
    After the system has directed your vehicle
    past the adjacent vehicle or object, it
    guides you to take control of the steering
    to complete the exit from the parking spot.
    Note:
    If the clearance in front of your
    vehicle allows easy departure, the Parallel
    Park Out Assist feature might not be
    available.
    Note: You are responsible for controlling
    your vehicle and making sure the path is
    clear prior to pulling into traffic.
    Note: This system is not intended to assist
    in exiting perpendicular parking spaces,
    damages to your vehicle may occur.
    Note: If your vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph
    (5 km/h) or the maneuver is interrupted
    (driver input), the system switches off and
    you need to take full control of your vehicle. Deactivating the Active Park
    Assist Feature
    Manually deactivate the system by:
    •
    Pressing the active park assist button
    during an active maneuver.
    • Grabbing the steering wheel during an
    active maneuver.
    • Driving above approximately 
    22 mph
    (35 km/h) for 30 seconds during an
    active park search.
    • Driving above approximately 
    6 mph
    (10 km/h) during automatic steering.
    • Switching off the traction control
    system.
    Certain vehicle conditions can also
    deactivate the system, such as:
    • Traction control has activated.
    • There is an anti-lock brake system
    activation or failure.
    If a problem occurs with the system, a
    warning message displays accompanied
    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 be able to
    detect a parking space.
    189
    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids 
    						
    							The system does not offer a particular space
    The sensors may be covered (for example, snow, ice or dirt buildup). Covered sensors
    can affect the system's functionality.
    There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park.
    There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
    space.
    The parking space is farther than 5 ft (1.5 m) or closer than 16 in (0.4 m) away.
    Your vehicle is going faster than 
    22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel and 19 mph (30 km/h)
    for perpendicular parking. 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 with
    reverse [R] 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 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 or moving truck bed).
    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 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. WARNINGS
    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.
    190
    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids 
    						
    							WARNINGS
    Reverse your vehicle as slow as
    possible, higher speeds may limit
    your reaction time to stop your
    vehicle. Use caution when the rear cargo door
    is ajar. If the rear cargo door is ajar,
    the camera will be out of position
    and the video image may be incorrect. All
    guidelines disappear when the rear cargo
    door is ajar. Some vehicles may not come
    equipped with guidelines. Use caution when turning camera
    features on or off when the
    transmission is not in park (P). 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. 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.
    191
    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE142435  
    						
    							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 System Settings
    You can access the rear view camera
    system settings through the display screen.
    See General Information (page 93).

    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.
    Obstacle Distance Indicator (If
    Equipped) The system will provide an image of your
    vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones
    will highlight green, yellow and red when
    the parking aid sensors detect an object in
    the coverage area. 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).
    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)
    (automatic transmission).
    • You apply the parking brake (manual
    transmission).

    							PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    Cruise control lets you maintain a set
    speed without keeping your foot on the
    accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
    control when your vehicle speed is greater
    than 20 mph (30 km/h).
    USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
    Do not use cruise control on winding
    roads, in heavy traffic or when the
    road surface is slippery. This could
    result in loss of vehicle control, serious
    injury or death. When you are going downhill, your
    vehicle speed may increase above
    the set speed. The system will not
    apply the brakes but a warning displays. The cruise controls are on the steering
    wheel.
    Switching Cruise Control On
    Press and release 
    ON.
    The indicator appears in the
    instrument cluster. Setting the Cruise Speed

    SET+.
    3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
    Note: The indicator will change color.
    Note: Cruise control will disengage if the
    vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
    (16 km/h) below the set speed while driving
    uphill.
    Changing the Set Speed
    • Press and release SET+ or SET-. When
    you select km/h as the display
    measurement in the Information
    display the set speed changes in

    USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
    CONTROL
     (If Equipped) WARNINGS
    Always pay close attention to
    changing road conditions when using
    adaptive cruise control. The system
    does not replace attentive driving. Failing
    to pay attention to the road may result in
    a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control does not
    detect stationary or slow moving
    vehicles below 
    6 mph (10 km/h).
    Do not use adaptive cruise control
    on winding roads, in heavy traffic or
    when the road surface is slippery.
    This could result in loss of vehicle control,
    serious injury or death. Do not use adaptive cruise control
    when towing a trailer that has trailer
    brakes. The auto-brake component
    of the adaptive cruise control system does
    not operate the trailer brakes. Using
    adaptive cruise control when towing a
    trailer that has trailer brakes may result in
    the loss of vehicle control, which could
    result in serious injury. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
    warning or avoidance system.
    Adaptive cruise control does not
    detect pedestrians or objects in the
    road.
    Adaptive cruise control does not
    detect oncoming vehicles in the
    same lane. WARNINGS
    Do not use the system in poor
    visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
    spray or snow.
    Do not use the adaptive cruise
    control when entering or leaving a
    highway, on roads with intersections
    or roundabouts or non-vehicular traffic or
    roads that are winding, slippery, unpaved,
    or steep slopes. Do not use tire sizes other than those
    recommended because this can
    affect the normal operation of the
    system. Failure to do so may result in a loss
    of vehicle control, which could result in
    serious injury. Note:
    It is your responsibility to stay alert,
    drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
    at all times.
    The system adjusts your vehicle speed to
    maintain the set gap between you and the
    vehicle in front of you in the same lane.
    You can select four gap settings.
    195
    Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise Control

    							Following a Vehicle
    WARNINGS
    When following a vehicle, your
    vehicle does not always decelerate
    quickly enough to avoid a crash
    without driver intervention. Always apply
    the brakes when necessary. Failing to do
    so may result in a crash, serious injury or
    death. Adaptive cruise control only warns
    of vehicles detected by the radar
    sensor. In some cases there may be
    no warning or a delayed warning. You
    should always apply the brakes when
    necessary. Failure to do so may result in a
    crash, serious injury or death. Note:
    The brakes may emit noise when
    applied by the system.
    When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
    same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
    the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
    to maintain a preset gap distance.  A
    vehicle graphic illuminates in the
    instrument cluster.
    When you are following a vehicle and you
    switch on your left directional indicator,
    adaptive cruise control may provide a
    small temporary acceleration to help you
    pass.
    Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap
    from the vehicle ahead until:
    • The vehicle in front of you accelerates
    to a speed above the set speed.
    • The vehicle in front of you moves out
    of the lane you are in.
    • You set a new gap distance.
    The vehicle applies brakes to slow the
    vehicle to maintain a safe distance from
    the vehicle in front. The maximum braking
    which the system can apply is limited. You
    can override the system by applying the
    brakes. If the system predicts that its maximum
    braking level is insufficient, an audible
    warning sounds while the system
    continues to brake. The red warning bar
    appears on the windshield. You should
    take immediate action.
    Following a Vehicle to a Complete
    Stop
    If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
    complete stop and remains stationary for
    less than three seconds, your vehicle
    automatically accelerates from a
    stationary position to follow the vehicle
    ahead when you release the brake pedal.
    If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
    complete stop and remains stationary for
    more than three seconds, you must press
    and release the RES+ button or the
    accelerator pedal to accelerate from a
    stationary position and follow the vehicle
    ahead.
    Setting the Gap Distance
    You can decrease or increase the distance
    between your vehicle and the vehicle in
    front by pressing the gap control.
    Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
    appropriate to the driving conditions. Gap decrease.
