Parking Aids The parking aid system gives an audible warning and reduces the radio volume when it detects a large object within a limited range of your vehicle's bumpers. Note: When the parking aid system no longer detects a large object the radio volume will return to the previous level. Rear Sensing System The rear parking aid sensors turn on automatically when you move the transmission selector lever to R (reverse) and your vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Moving your vehicle closer to a large object will increase the audible warning repeat rate. When the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the center of your vehicle's rear bumper the audible warning will sound continuously. If the object is more than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of your vehicle's rear bumper the audible warning will sound for three seconds. If the object is less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of your vehicle's rear bumper the audible warning will sound continuously. E130178 A The rear parking aid sensor coverage area is up to 72 inches (183 centimeters) from the center of your vehicle's rear bumper. There is a decreased coverage area at the outer corners. The system detects large objects when you move the transmission selector lever to R (reverse): • and your vehicle is moving toward the object at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) • and your vehicle is not moving but a moving object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) • and 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). Move the transmission selector lever from R (reverse) or press the parking aid button to switch the system off. If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display and does not allow you to switch the system on. 135 Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing
