Parking Aids 225 When a suitable space is found, the touch screen displays a message and a chime sounds. Slow down and stop at approximately position (A), then follow the instructions on the touch screen. Note: You must observe that the selected space remains clear of obstructions at all times in the maneuver. Note: Vehicles with overhanging loads (e.g. a bus or a truck), street furniture and other items may not be detected by active park assist. You must ensure the selected space is suitable for parking. Note: The vehicle should be driven as parallel to other vehicles as possible while passing a parking space. Note: The system always offers the last detected parking space (i.e. if the vehicle detects multiple spaces while you are driving, it offers the last one). Note: If driven above approximately 20 mph (35 km/h), the touch screen shows a message to alert the driver to reduce vehicle speed. Automatic Steering into Parking Space Note: If vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph (12 km/h), the system turns off and you need to take full control of the vehicle. Note: If a maneuver is interrupted before completion, the system turns off. The steering wheel position will not indicate the actual position of the steering and you have to full take control of the vehicle. I some instances a message may appear that would allow you to resume the maneuver. 2013 Flex (471) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, December 2012 USA (fus)
