Driving 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 reverse sensing system may create false beeps. The system will assist the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves in reverse at speeds less than 6 mph (10 km/h). The system is not effective at speeds greater than 6 mph (10 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. The system detects obstacles within approximately 16 feet (five meters), at speeds above 2.5 mph (4 km/h) behind the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. If vehicle speed is below 2.5 mph (4 km/h), the system detects obstacles within approximately 9 feet (2.6 meters) behind the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When the distance to the obstacle is approximately less than 18 inches (45.0 cm), the tone will sound continuously. If the system detects an object that is approaching the vehicle at such a rate that rapid braking is required, a very high rate tone will sound. If this tone is heard while reversing, the driver is advised to slow down immediately until the tone either changes to a slower rate or stops. Audible Warnings Distance to Object Warning Speed above 2.5 mph (4 km/h) up to 1.6 feet (.5 meters) Solid 1.6 feet (.5 meters) to 3.1 feet (1 meter) Fast beep 3.1 feet (1 meter) to 5.7 feet (1.8 meters) Medium/fast beep 5.7 feet (1.8 meters) to 9 feet (2.8 meters) Medium beep 9 feet (2.8 meters) to 13 feet (4 meters) Medium/slow beep 13 feet (4 meters) to 19.6 feet (6 meters) Slow beep 273 2007 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
