System Operation
Parking Aid WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert during reversing procedures.
The system may fail to detect small
children or animals.
CAUTION: The driver is responsible for
detecting obstacles and judging the
distance between these and the vehicle.
The system may fail to detect some
hanging objects, barriers, narrow obstacles
or painted surfaces, which could damage
the vehicle. Always pay attention when
parking.
The parking aid provides an audible warning to the
driver if there are any obstacles in front of or behind
the vehicle during reverse parking maneuvers.
At low speeds, the parking aid module uses the
parking aid sensors to monitor the area around the
vehicle. If an object is detected within a monitored
area, the parking aid module emits a warning tone
using the respective parking aid speaker.
The rear parking aid is switched on with the
ignition. However, it is only enabled when reverse
gear is selected.
The front and rear parking aid is always switched
off when the ignition is switched on. It is switched
on when reverse gear is selected or if the parking
aid switch in the center console is actuated up to
a speed of 16 km/h.
The parking aid is switched off when the vehicle is
travelling forwards at more than 16 km/h or if the
parking aid switch in the center console is actuated
again.
When the parking aid module activates the system,
the parking aid switch LED is illuminated. If the
vehicle is only fitted with the rear parking aid, there
is no switch.
The parking aid sensors emit a series of ultrasonic
impulses and switch to receiver mode to receive the echo reflected by an obstacle within the
detection range. The received echo signals are
amplified and converted from an analog signal to
a digital signal by the sensor. The digital signal is
passed to the parking aid module and compared
with pre-programmed data stored in an EEPROM
within the module. The module calculates the
distance to the obstacle by measuring the time
taken between the emitted and received impulses.
If no objects are detected there are no further
warning tones. If an object is detected, repeated
audible tones are emitted from either parking aid
speaker(s) as appropriate. The time delay between
the tones decreases as the distance between the
object and the vehicle decreases, until at
approximately 250 mm (10 inches), the audible
tone becomes continuous.
If the distance between the obstacle and the
vehicle does not decrease, the warning tone
remains constant if the object has been detected
by an internal parking aid sensor. If the obstacle
was detected by an external sensor and the
distance remains unchanged, the warning tone
stops after 3 seconds.
The parking aid module continues to monitor the
distance and will resume the warning tones if a
decrease in distance is detected.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, a signal is
sent to the GEM (generic electronic module) via
the trailer relay. This signal is sent to the parking
aid module via the MS CAN bus. When the parking
aid module detects that a trailer is connected to
the vehicle, the rear parking aid sensors are
disabled to prevent constant warnings due to the
close proximity of the trailer.

Parking Aid Camera
For vehicles with a DVD navigation system with a
touch screen, the parking aid camera is supplied
as standard. For vehicles with a standard
navigation system, the camera can be ordered as
an optional extra. The system essentially consists
of a camera with a wide angle lens, a control unit
and a wiring harness which is not integrated in the
vehicle wiring harness.
On the navigation display screen, the drivers sees
a video image of the area behind the vehicle.
Guides integrated in the camera images by the
parking aid camera module and displayed on the
screen help the driver to find out about the steering
angle, vehicle width, cornering and driving straight
ahead. The system generates these guides using:
• Vehicle parameters (length, width)
• Steering Angle
• Vehicle position during the parking maneuverDescription

Component Description
Rear parking aid speaker
The rear parking aid speaker, in addition to its
actual function, is also used for audible indication
of various types of error in the front and rear
parking aids. If the rear parking aid speaker
becomes defective, the front parking aid speaker
will then be used to indicate failure modes.
If an error is detected in the system, a signal tone
is emitted via the speaker for 3 seconds.
Parking aid sensors
CAUTIONS:
Always keep sensors free from dirt, ice and
snow. Do not use any sharp objects to
clean the sensors.
If a high-pressure cleaner is used to wash
the vehicle, the jet must only be aimed at
the sensors briefly at a distance of at least
20 cm.
The parking aid sensor consists of the following:
• Plastic housing
• Aluminum membrane with Piezo disc
• Decoupling ring
• Printed circuit board (PCB)
The parking aid sensor consists of a sensor and a
holder. The holder makes sure that each parking
aid sensor is correctly orientated in relation to its
location in the rear bumper.
The sensors have a 3-pin connector which is
connected to the wiring harness of the front
bumper. This in turn is connected to the main body
wiring harness. Three pins provide for power
supply, ground and signal lines to and from the
parking aid module. The disc resonates at a frequency of ca. 50kHz,
producing the ultrasonic output. The disc also
receives the reflected echo signal from any objects
within range.
Parking aid module
The parking aid module has three connectors which
provide for power, ground and MS CAN bus
connections, as well as the front and rear parking
aid sensors, the parking aid switch and parking aid
speaker.
The parking aid module carries out self-check
routines and when the parking aid is active, checks
the parking aid sensor wiring for short or open
circuits. If a concern is detected, a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is stored in a memory in the
parking aid module and the front and rear parking
aid sensors will be disabled until the DTC is cleared
and the ignition cycled. The driver recognizes a
problem through the flashing LED and a shrill
continuous tone, which is emitted for 3 seconds
when the parking aid is activated. If the parking aid
is working properly, short tones are emitted instead
of this continuous tone. DTCs can be read using
the Ford approved diagnostic tool through the data
link connector (DLC).

Front parking aid speaker
The front parking aid speaker, in addition to its
actual function, is also used for audible indication
of various types of error in the front and rear
parking aids when the rear parking aid speaker
fails.
Parking aid switch
The parking aid switch is a non-locking switch with
an integrated LED for switching the parking aid on
and off. When pressed, the parking aid switch
momentarily connects a ground to the parking aid
module. The LED indicates when the parking aid
is active. The LED is controlled by the parking aid
module.
The parking aid switch allows the driver to disable
the parking aid when reverse gear is selected or
to activate the parking aid sensors when not in
reverse gear.
If a high tone is emitted for 3 seconds and the lights
in the switch flash, this indicates that there is a
fault. The system is then deactivated. Parking aid camera module
The data from the optional parking aid is sent to
the module via the Mid Speed CAN data bus. The
signals from the steering angle sensor are sent to
the module via cable. The module is connected to
the navigation device via a video-in/out cable.
Parking Aid Camera
The wide angle lens camera is fixed in the handle
strip of the tailgate. It is connected to the parking
aid camera module via a separate line.

Ford diagnostic equipment
Principles of Operation
The ultrasonic parking aid system activates when
the ignition switch is turned to the RUN and when
the parking brake is OFF. If a front parking aid
switch is fitted the system will be de-activated and
a light emitting diode (LED) will indicate the state
of the system. A lit LED will indicate that the system
is currently deactivated. The parking aid system
will be disabled if a fault is detected in one of the
four front parking aid sensors, the parking aid
speaker or the parking aid module. An error tone
approximately 3 seconds long will be emitted from
the rear parking aid speaker if a fault is detected.
If the rear parking aid speaker is inoperative the
error tone will sound from the front parking aid
speaker.
