When the system finds a suitable space, it
displays a message and a tone sounds. Stop
your vehicle and follow the instructions on
the screen. If your vehicle is moving very
slowly, you may need to pull forward a short
distance before the system is ready to park.
Note:
You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions at all
times during the maneuver.
Note: You should drive your vehicle within
4.9 ft (1.5 m) and as perpendicular as
possible to the other vehicles while passing
a parking space. Note:
The system always offers the last
detected parking space (for example, if your
vehicle detects multiple spaces while you
are driving, it offers the last one).
Note: If driven above approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
, the system shows a message to
alert you to reduce your vehicle speed.
Automatic Steering into Parking Space
Note: If your vehicle speed exceeds
6 mph
(9 km/h) or the maneuver is interrupted
(driver input), the system switches off and
you need to take full control of your vehicle. When you shift the transmission into reverse
( R), with your hands off the wheel (and
nothing obstructing its movement), your
vehicle steers itself into the space. The
system displays instructions to move your
vehicle back and forth in the space.

When you think your vehicle is properly
parked, or you hear a solid tone from the
parking aid (accompanied by a display
message and a chime), bring your vehicle to
a complete stop.
When automatic steering is complete, the
system displays a message and a tone
sounds, indicating that the active park assist
process is finished. You are responsible for
checking the parking job and making any
necessary corrections before leaving your
vehicle.Using Active Park Assist - Park Out Assist While your vehicle is at rest in a
parallel parking space, press the
active park assist button.
The system displays a message requesting
an indication of direction. Use the direction
indicator to signal which side of your vehicle
you want to exit the parking space. The system determines the clearance to the
front and rear of your vehicle and
automatically steers your vehicle out of a
parallel parking space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly guides you
to enter traffic.
After the system has directed your vehicle
past the adjacent vehicle or object, it guides
you to take control of the steering to
complete the exit from the parking spot.
The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front bumper
and the parking space (a pedestrian or
cyclist) or if the edge of the neighboring
parked vehicle is high off the ground (for
example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).

Note:
If the clearance in front of your vehicle
allows easy departure, the Park Out Assist
feature might not be available.
Note: You are responsible for controlling
your vehicle and making sure the path is
clear prior to pulling into traffic.
Note: This system is not intended to assist
in exiting perpendicular parking spaces,
damages to your vehicle may occur.

REAR VIEW CAMERA 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. Objects that are close to either corner
of the bumper or under the bumper,
might not be seen on the screen due to the
limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your reaction
time to stop your vehicle. WARNINGS
Use caution when using the rear video
camera and the luggage compartment
door is ajar. If the luggage compartment door
is ajar, the camera will be out of position and
the video image may be incorrect. All
guidelines disappear when the luggage
compartment door is ajar. Use caution when turning camera
features on or off. Make sure your
vehicle is not moving. The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display
which represent your vehicle
’s path and
proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located on the luggage
compartment door.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the
transmission in reverse (R).
217
MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, ASO/OGC Review Parking AidsE142435
Note:
The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
• Active guidelines: Show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful
when backing into a parking space or
aligning your vehicle with another object
behind you.
• Centerline: Helps align the center of your
vehicle with an object (for example, a
trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment door or liftgate is
open, no rear view camera features will
display. Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage as it usually provides in
normal operation and some objects might
not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines
may disappear when you connect the trailer
tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
reverse lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
• The rear of your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to become
misaligned.

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed
guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the
steering wheel to point the guidelines toward
an intended path. If you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended
path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. The active guidelines do not display
when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
away. Objects are getting closer to your
vehicle as they move from the green zone
to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
vehicle. Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle may not show. Be
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: When you enable manual zoom, only
the centerline is shown.
Selectable settings for this feature are Zoom
in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the symbol in
the camera screen to change the view. The
default setting is Zoom OFF.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only active
while the transmission is in reverse (R). Camera System Settings

360 DEGREE PARKING AID
CAMERA (If Equipped) WARNINGS
The 360 degree camera system is a
supplement system that still requires
the driver to use it in conjunction with looking
out the windows, and checking the interior
and exterior mirrors for maximum coverage. You may not see objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper due to the limited coverage of
the camera system. Use caution when turning camera
features ON or OFF while out of park
(P). Make sure your vehicle is not moving. WARNINGS
Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death. The 360 degree camera system consists of
front, side and rear cameras. The system:
•
Allows you to see what is directly in front
or behind your vehicle.
• Provides cross traffic view in front and
behind your vehicle.
• Allows you to see a top-down view of the
area outside your vehicle, including the
blind spots.
• Provides visibility around your vehicle to
you in parking maneuvers such as:
•Centering in a parking space.
• Obstacles near vehicle.
• Parallel parking. The 360 degree camera system
button is located on the instrument
panel and allows you to toggle
through different camera views. The front and rear cameras have multiple
screens which consist of: Normal view with
360, Normal view, and split view. When in
park (P), neutral (N) or drive (D), only the front
images will be displayed when the button is
pressed. When in reverse (R), only the rear
images will be displayed when the button is
pressed.
Note:
The 360 degree camera system will
turn OFF when your vehicle is in motion at
low speed, except when in reverse (R).
Camera Views
The small vehicle icon displayed on the top
left corner of the image illustrates the camera
view being displayed. Camera views are laid
out in the order the screens will appear once
the button is pressed.
Note: The front video image will be disabled
when your vehicle is in motion at low speed,
except when in reverse (R).

MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, ASO/OGC Review Parking AidsE205884
The front video camera, located behind the
star emblem on the grille, provides a video
image of the area in front of your vehicle. It
adds assistance to the driver while driving
forward at low speeds. To use the front video
camera system, place the transmission in any
gear except reverse (R). An image will display
once the camera enable button is pressed.
The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to your vehicle's orientation and/or

Side Camera
The side view camera, located in the outside
mirror, provides a video image of the area
on the sides of your vehicle as part of the
front 360 + normal view and rear 360 +
normal view. It aids you while parking your
vehicle either forward or backwards. Note:
Use caution when using the 360 view
while any of the doors are ajar. If a door is
ajar, the camera will be out of position and
the video image may be incorrect.
