PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help avoid personalinjury, always use caution when inreverse (R) and when using the sensingsystem.
WARNING: The system may notdetect objects with surfaces that absorbreflection. Always drive with due careand attention. Failure to take care mayresult in a crash.
WARNING: Traffic control systems,fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,air brakes, external motors and fans mayaffect the correct operation of thesensing system. This may cause reducedperformance or false alerts.
WARNING: The system may notdetect small or moving objects,particularly those close to the ground.
WARNING: The parking aid systemcan only assist you to detect objectswhen your vehicle is moving at parkingspeeds. To help avoid personal injury youmust take care when using the parkingaid system.
WARNING: The system may notfunction if the sensor is blocked.
WARNING: In cold and severeweather conditions the system may notfunction. Rain, snow and spray can alllimit sensor performance.
WARNING: If damage occurs in theimmediate area surrounding the sensor,have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damageleaving the sensors misaligned, this willcause inaccurate measurements or falsealerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,the rear parking aid detects the trailer andprovides an alert. Disable the parking aidwhen you connect a trailer to prevent thealert.
Note:Connected trailers might be detectedby the vehicle and parking aid turns offautomatically in those instances.
Note:Certain add-on devices installedaround the bumper or fascia may createfalse alerts, for example, large trailerhitches, bike or surfboard racks, license platebrackets, bumper covers or any other devicethat could block the normal detection zoneof the parking aid system. Aftermarket sparetires or spare tire covers mounted to the reartailgate could cause false alerts from thepark aid system. Remove the add-on deviceto prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, iceand large accumulations of dirt. If thesensors are covered, the system's accuracycan be affected.
Do not clean the sensors with sharpobjects.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey,you cannot switch the parking aids off. SeeMyKey™ (page 67).

2023 Maverick (CFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202208, First-PrintingParking Aids (If Equipped)

When using a programmed MyKey, youcannot switch the rear parking aid off.
The rear parking aid sensors are activewhen your vehicle is in reverse (R) and thevehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The sensor coverage area is up to 71 in(180 cm) from the rear bumper.
The rear parking aid detects large objectswhen you shift into reverse (R) and any ofthe following occur:
•Your vehicle is moving backward at alow speed.
•Your vehicle is stationary but an objectis approaching the rear of your vehicleat a low speed.
•Your vehicle is moving backward at alow speed and an object is movingtowards your vehicle, for exampleanother vehicle at a low speed.
The system shall provide no audiblewarning for the object behind the vehiclewhen in neutral (N) gear.
LOCATING THE REAR PARKINGAID SENSORS
The rear parking aid sensors are in the rearbumper.
REAR PARKING AID AUDIBLEWARNINGS
A warning tone sounds when your vehicleapproaches an object. As your vehiclemoves closer to an object, the rate of thetone increases. The warning tonecontinuously sounds when an object is 12 in(30 cm) or less from the rear bumper.
If your vehicle remains stationary for a fewseconds, the audible warning turns off. Ifyour vehicle moves backward the tonesounds again.
Note:When the parking aid system soundsa tone, the audio system could reduce theset volume.

A.Active guide lines.
B.Centerline.
C.Fixed guide line: Green zone.
D.Fixed guide line: Yellow zone.
E.Fixed guide line: Red zone.
F.Rear bumper.
Active guide lines only show with fixedguide lines. To use active guide lines, turnthe steering wheel to point the guide linestoward an intended path. If the steeringwheel position changes while reversing,your vehicle might deviate from theintended path.
The fixed and active guide lines fade in andout depending on the steering wheelposition. The active guide lines do notdisplay when the steering wheel positionis straight.
Use caution while reversing. Objects in thered zone are closest to your vehicle andobjects in the green zone are farther away.Objects get closer to your vehicle as theymove from the green zone to the yellow orred zones. Use the side view mirrors andrear view mirror to get better coverage onboth sides and rear of your vehicle.
REAR VIEW CAMERA OBJECT
DISTANCE INDICATORS
The system provides an image of yourvehicle and the sensor zones. The zoneshighlight green, yellow, and red when theparking aid sensors detect an object in thecoverage area.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
SETTINGS
ZOOMING THE REAR VIEWCAMERA IN AND OUT

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT
The system alerts you of vehiclesapproaching from the sides behind yourvehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK
Cross traffic alert detects vehicles thatapproach at a speed between 4–37 mph(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases whenthe sensors are partially, mostly or fullyobstructed.
The sensor on the left-hand side is onlypartially obstructed and zone coverage onthe right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases whenparking at narrow angles. The sensor onthe left-hand side is mostly obstructed andzone coverage on that side is severelyreduced.
Note: Slowly reversing helps increase thecoverage area and effectiveness.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the crosstraffic alert system as a replacement forusing the interior and exterior mirrors orlooking over your shoulder beforereversing out of a parking space. Thecross traffic alert system is not areplacement for careful driving.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly during severe weatherconditions, for example snow, ice, heavyrain and spray. Always drive with duecare and attention. Failure to take caremay result in a crash.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
LIMITATIONS
Cross traffic alert may not correctlyoperate when any of the following occur:
•Something is blocking the sensors.
•Adjacently parked vehicles or objectsare obstructing the sensors.
•Vehicles approach at speeds less than4 mph (6 km/h) or greater than 37 mph(60 km/h).
•Your vehicle speed is greater than7 mph (12 km/h).
•You reverse out of an angled parkingspace.
SWITCHING CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT ON AND OFF

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
Have a flat serviced by an authorizeddealer to prevent damage to the systemsensors. See Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem Precautions (page 351).Replacethe spare tire with a road tire as soon aspossible. During repairing or replacing theflat tire, have the authorized dealer inspectthe system sensor for damage.
If you get a flat tire when driving, do notapply the brake heavily. Instead, graduallydecrease your speed. Hold the steeringwheel firmly and slowly move to a safeplace on the side of the road.
Note:The use of tire sealant may damageyour tire pressure monitoring system andshould only be used in roadsideemergencies.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring systemindicator light illuminates when the sparetire is in use. To restore the full function ofthe monitoring system, all road wheelsequipped with tire pressure monitoringsensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
WARNING: Never place anythingbetween the vehicle jack and the ground.
WARNING: Never place anythingbetween the vehicle jack and yourvehicle.
WARNING: To help prevent yourvehicle from moving when changing awheel, shift the transmission into park(P), set the parking brake and use anappropriate block or wheel chock tosecure the wheel diagonally opposite tothe wheel being changed. For example,when changing the front left wheel,place an appropriate block or wheelchock on the right rear wheel.
WARNING: It is recommended thatthe wheels of the vehicle be chocked,and that no person should remain in avehicle that is being jacked.
WARNING: Only use the jackprovided as original equipment with yourvehicle.
WARNING: The jack supplied withthis vehicle is only intended for changinga flat tire in an emergency. Do notattempt to do any other work on yourvehicle when it is supported by the jack,as your vehicle could slip off the jack.Failure to follow this instruction couldresult in personal injury or death.
