Parking Aids • The parking aid system prioritises audible warnings based on large objects that are the closest to your vehicle's front or rear bumper. For example, if an object is 24 inches (60 centimeters) from your vehicle's front bumper and at the same time, an object is only 16 inches (40 centimeters) from your vehicle's rear bumper, you will hear the lower-pitched tone from the rear audio system speakers. You will hear an alternating audible warning from the front and rear audio system speakers if large objects are less than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from your vehicle's front and rear bumpers. If the object is more than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of your vehicle's bumper area 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 bumper area the audible warning will sound continuously. A E130382 • The front parking aid sensor coverage area is up to 31 inches (80 centimeters) from the center of your vehicle's front bumper and up to 14 inches (35 centimeters) to the side of your vehicle's front bumper. 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. A • Audible warnings will sound when large objects are within the sensor coverage areas of either bumper in the following manner: • You will hear a high-pitched tone from the front audio system speakers when large objects are within the sensor coverage area of your vehicle's front bumper. Moving your vehicle closer to a large object will increase the audible warning repeat rate. • You will hear a lower-pitched tone from the rear audio system speakers when large objects are within the sensor coverage area of your vehicle's rear bumper. Moving your vehicle closer to a large object will increase the audible warning repeat rate. Move the transmission selector lever from R (reverse), D (drive), L (low) or move away from large objects as you drive off, 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. REAR VIEW CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED) 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. The camera may not detect objects that are very close to your vehicle. 129 Tourneo Connect/Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America
