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 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE186191 E146186 E188012
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). Camera Guidelines Note: Active guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R). 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. 192 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsABCD F E E142436
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). 193 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE190459
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 1. Drive to desired speed. 2. Press and release 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 approximately 1 km/h increments. When you select mph as the display measurement in the information display the set speed changes in approximately 1 mph increments. • Press the accelerator or brake pedal until you reach the desired speed. Press and release SET+. • Press and hold SET+ or SET-. Release the control when you reach the desired speed. Note: If you accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal, the set speed will not change. When you release the accelerator pedal, your vehicle returns to the speed that you previously set. Canceling the Set Speed Press and release CNCL or tap the brake pedal. The set speed does not erase.

Switching Cruise Control Off Press and release OFF when the system is in stand by mode or switch the ignition off. Note: You erase the set speed when you switch the system off. 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
The adaptive cruise controls are on the steering wheel. Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On Press and release ON. The indicator appears in the information display. The current gap setting and set speed also appear in the information display. Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed 1. Drive to desired speed. 2. Press and release SET-.

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. A Gap increase.
