EnglishParking Aids -> Rear and Front Parking Aid for your Ford Kuga 2019-2025
Parking Aids(If Equipped)
Note: Certain add-on devices installed
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts. For example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that may block the normal detection zone
of the system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.
Note: When you connect a trailer to your
vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the
trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable
the rear parking aid when you connect a
trailer to prevent the alert.
WARNING: The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system turns on automatically
whenever you switch the ignition on.
You can switch the system off through the
touchscreen, information display or from
the pop-up message that appears once
you shift the transmission into reverse (R).
If your vehicle has a parking aid button, you
can switch the system off by pressing the
button.
WARNING: Traffic control systems,
inclement weather, air brakes, external
motors and fans may affect the correct
operation of the sensing system. This
may cause reduced performance or false
alerts.
WARNING: The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.
Note: If your vehicle has MyKey™, the
sensing system cannot be switched off
when a MyKey™ is present. See Principle
of Operation (page 47).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display. See Information Messages
(page 124).
Note: Keep the sensors on the bumper or
fascia free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are
covered, the system’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects.
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 alerts.

and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover up the sensors.
The sensor coverage area is up to 180 cm
(70 in) from the rear bumper.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information
display.
The system detects large objects when
you shift into reverse (R) and any of the
following occur:
Note: Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this may
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
Note: Some accessories, for example large
trailer hitches or bike or surfboard racks can
cause reduced performance or false alerts.
•
Your vehicle is moving backward at low
speed.
The sensors are on the rear bumper.
•
Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching the rear of your vehicle
at low speed.
Your vehicle is moving backward at low
speed and an object is moving toward
your vehicle, for example another
vehicle at low speed.
The sensors are active when the
transmission is in reverse (R) and the
vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph).
When the parking aid system sounds a
tone, the audio system may reduce the set
volume.
•
If your vehicle remains stationary for two
seconds the audible warning turns off. If
your vehicle moves backward the tone
sounds again.
Note: If the detected object is 30 cm (12 in)
or less from the rear bumper, the audible
warning does not turn off.
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
30 cm (12 in) or less from the center of the
rear bumper.
Note: There is a decreased coverage area
at the outer corners.
