2017 FORD FIESTA warning

WARNINGS
The parking aid system may not
prevent contact with small or moving
objects that are close to the ground.
The parking aid system gives an audible
warning when it detects a large object
helping to avoid damage to your vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury you must take
care when using the parking aid system. Note:
Some add-on accessories such as
large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
can cause reduced performance or false
alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
The system warns you of objects that are
within the detection zone of the bumper
areas.
When the parking aid system sounds a
tone, the audio system may reduce the set
volume. When the warning ends, the audio
system will return to the previously set
volume.
The rear parking aid sensors automatically
turn on when you shift into reverse (R). Coverage area of up to 72 in (183
cm) from the bumper. There is
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper.
A
As your vehicle moves closer an obstacle,
the rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than 12 in
(30 cm) away, the audible warning sounds
continuously. If a stationary or receding
object is detected
12 in (30 cm) or more
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.
The system detects objects when you shift
into reverse (R) and:
• Your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of
3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h)
or less, and an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
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.

FRONT PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations
of the system as contained in this
section. Sensing is only an aid for some
(generally large and fixed) objects when
moving on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Certain objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's
parking aid systems, traffic control
systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement
weather, air brakes, and external motors
and fans may also affect the function of
the sensing system. This may include
reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
The parking aid system may not

The system detects objects when you shift
into reverse (R) or you press the parking
aid button and:
•
Your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h)
or less, and an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
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.
Sensing System Audible Warnings
Audible warnings sound when large objects
are within the sensor coverage areas of
either bumper in the following manner:
• You will hear a high-pitched tone from
the front audio system speakers when
large objects are within the sensor
coverage area of the front bumper.
• You will hear a lower-pitched tone
from the rear audio system speakers
when large objects are within the
sensor coverage area of the rear
bumper.
• The parking aid system prioritises
audible warnings based on large
objects that are the closest to your
vehicle ’s front or rear bumper. For
example, if an object is
24 in (60 cm)
from the front bumper and at the same
time, an object is only
16 in (40 cm)
from the rear bumper, you will hear the
lower-pitched tone from the rear audio
system speakers. •
You will hear an alternating audible
warning from the front and rear audio
system speakers if large objects are
less than
12 in (30 cm) from the front
and rear bumpers.
• If the object is more than 12 in (30 cm)
from the side of the bumper area, the
audible warning sounds for three
seconds. If the object is less than
12 in
(30 cm) from the side of the bumper
area the audible warning sounds
continuously.
Switching the Parking Aid System
Off
Press the button to switch the system off.

REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS
Do not place objects in front of the
camera.
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. Reverse your vehicle slowly as higher
speeds might limit your reaction time
to stop your vehicle.
Use caution when the liftgate is ajar.
If the liftgate is ajar, the camera will
be out of position and the video
image may be incorrect. All guidelines
disappear when the liftgate is ajar. Some
vehicles may not come equipped with
guidelines.

ECO MODE (If Equipped)
This system assists you in driving more
efficiently by constantly monitoring
characteristics of gear changing,
anticipation of traffic conditions and
speeds while driving.
The value of these characteristics is
represented by petals shown in the display,
with five petals being the most efficient.
The more efficiently you drive, the better
the rating, and the better your vehicle's
overall fuel economy.
Note: These efficiency values do not result
in a defined fuel consumption figure. It might
vary as it is not only related to these driving
habits, but also influenced by many other
factors such as short trips and cold starts.
Note: Frequent short trips, where the engine
does not fully warm up, will also increase
fuel consumption
The system is accessed using the
information display control. See
General
Information (page 85).

Payload
Payload is the combined weight
of cargo and passengers that your
vehicle is carrying. The maximum
payload for your vehicle appears
on the Tire and Loading label. The
label is either on the B-pillar or the
edge of the driver door. Vehicles
exported outside the US and
Canada may not have a tire and
loading label. Look for
“The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg OR XXX lb ” for maximum
payload. The payload listed on the
Tire and Loading Information label
is the maximum payload for your
vehicle as built by the assembly
plant. If you install any additional
equipment on your vehicle, you
must determine the new payload.
Subtract the weight of the
equipment from the payload listed
on the Tire and Loading label.
When towing, trailer tongue
weight or king pin weight is also
part of payload. WARNING
The appropriate loading
capacity of your vehicle can
be limited either by volume
capacity (how much space is
available) or by payload capacity
(how much weight the vehicle
should carry). Once you have
reached the maximum payload of
your vehicle, do not add more
cargo, even if there is space
available. Overloading or
improperly loading your vehicle
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and vehicle rollover. GAWR (Gross Axle Weight
Rating)
GAWR is the maximum allowable
weight that a single axle (front or
rear) can carry. These numbers
are on the Safety Compliance
Certification label. The label is
located on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge
that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver seating position.
