A The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R): • and moving toward a stationary object at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h)or less. • but not moving, and a moving object is approaching the rear of the vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. • and moving at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving object is approaching the rear of the vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Coverage area of up to 27 inches (70 centimeters) from the front of the vehicle and about 6-14 inches (15-35 centimeters) to the side of the front end of the vehicle. Refer to the reverse sensing section for details on coverage area. Front Sensing System The front sensors are active when the gearshift is in any position other than park (P) or neutral (N) and the vehicle speed is below 7 mph (12 km/h). The system sounds an audible warning when obstacles are near either bumper in the following manner: • Objects detected by the front sensors are indicated by a high-pitched tone from the front radio speakers. • Objects detected by the rear sensors are indicated by a lower pitched tone from the rear radio speakers. • The sensing system reports the obstacle which is closest to the front or rear of the vehicle. For example, if an obstacle is 24 inches (60 centimeters) from the front of the vehicle and, at the same time, an obstacle is only 16 inches (40 centimeters) from the rear of the vehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds. • If there are objects located at the same distance in the front and rear of the vehicle, the system sounds the rear warning. 179 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7), enUSA
