Ford Escape: Parking Aids / Rear Parking Aid
(If Equipped)
What is the Rear Parking Aid
Rear parking sensors detect objects behind
your vehicle when in reverse (R).
Rear Parking Aid Limitations
There is a decreased coverage area at the
outer corners.
When using a programmed MyKey, you
cannot switch the rear parking aid off.
The rear parking aid sensors are active
when your vehicle is in reverse (R) and the
vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The sensor coverage area is up to 71 in
(180 cm) from the rear bumper.
The rear parking aid detects large objects
when you shift into reverse (R) and any of
the following occur:
- Your vehicle is moving backward at a
low speed.
- Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching the rear of your vehicle
at a low speed.
- Your vehicle is moving backward at a
low speed and an object is moving
towards your vehicle, for example
another vehicle at a low speed.
Locating the Rear Parking Aid Sensors

The rear parking aid sensors are in the rear
bumper.
Rear Parking Aid Audible Warnings
A warning tone sounds when your vehicle
approaches an object. As your vehicle
moves closer to an object, the rate of the
tone increases. The warning tone
continuously sounds when an object is 12 in
(30 cm) or less from the rear bumper.
If your vehicle remains stationary for a few
seconds, the audible warning turns off. If
your vehicle moves backward the tone
sounds again.
Note: When the parking aid system sounds
a tone, the audio system could reduce the
set volume.
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.
WARNING: The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection...
