Parking Aids (If Equipped) Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms. The system warns you of obstacles within a certain range of the bumper area. When receiving a detection warning, the radio volume is reduced to a predetermined level. After the warning goes away, the radio volume returns to the previous level. Rear Sensing System The rear sensors are only active when you move the transmission selector lever to position R (reverse). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases. When the obstacle is fewer than 12 inches (30 centimeters) away, the audible warning sounds continuously. If a stationary or receding object is detected farther than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of your vehicle, the audible warning sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the audible warning sounds again. E130178 A Coverage area of up to 72 inches (183 centimeters) from the rear bumper (with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper). The system detects certain objects when you move the transmission selector lever to position R (reverse): • and your vehicle is moving toward a stationary object at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less • but your vehicle is not moving, and a moving object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less • 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 position R (reverse) to turn 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. 136 Fiesta (CCT), enUSA, Second Printing
