While driving past, the driver is informed by an indicator in the multi-function display. After a suitable parking space has been found, the driver engages reverse gear. Finally the driver removes his hands from the steering wheel and depresses the accelerator pedal. Park Assist takes over the steering and maneuvers the vehicle automatically into the parking space While this is being done, the driver only needs to accelerate and brake. The conventional parking system supports the driver in the process and informs about the distance to the vehicles at the front and rear. The driver can interrupt the Active Park Assist at any time by intervening in the steering process. The system operates with high precision. For the parking process the parking space needs to be just 1.2 times the length of the vehicle. Up to seven parking steps can be made with the vehicle, Parking is therefore possible without problem, even in small parking spaces. ‘Two different parking systems are available + 4-channel rear parking system + 10-channel parking system front and rear, plus ultrasonic sensors for the Active Park Assist A warnitis: the movement ofthe vehicle remains the responsibility of the driver. The [system cannot ultimately judge whether the chosen parking space is suitable. In the same way, this applies to the overshoot travel into the opposite lane. Reversing camera ‘On the multi-function display, the driver sees a video image of the area behind the vehicle, The reference lines shown in the display help the driver by providing information about the steering angle, vehicle width, cornering and driving straight ahead. The reference lines are divided into four zones. The zones extend over 0-0.30 m, 0,30-1.0 m, 1.0-2.0 m and 2.0-3.2 m. The reference line between 0-0.30 m is shown in red. The others are permanently white. Together with the parking aid, the driver is supported within the zones by colored lines, [As soon as an object approaches, the color of the lines changes between green, yellow and red. ‘The reference lines and the colored lines are automatically deactivated as soon as a trailer is attached or the liftgate is opened. This system allows a virtual trailer hitch line to be superimposed. The line extends the ball head by 3.2 m. The zoom can be switched on via the multi-function display. This makes trailer operations much easier.® en[Descrip 1_ Reference lines of the reversing camera 2 Virtual trailer hitch line ItemDescription 1_Red line 2. Yellow line 3.

If the vehicle is traveling faster than the maximum speed for scanning (this is at 30 km/h), no parking spaces will be detected. ‘The driver receives a message via the multi-function display, that the speed needs to be reduced, ‘Scanning process The driver is driving at less than the maximum scanning speed and Active Park Assist ‘system scans on both sides of the vehicle for parking spaces. Detect parking space ‘As soon as a parking space is located, it is displayed to the driver in the multi-function display. ‘The passenger side is established as the active side of the parking. If the driver wishes to change the parking side, this is identified by operating the turn signal switch.Item{Descrip 4 Parking process starting position 5__ Steering angle control mode active 6 _Parking process 7_Parking process finished Parking process starting position After an adequate sized parking space has been found on the active side of the vehicle, the driver is informed via the multi-function display that he can stop his vehicle. ‘As soon as the speed is less than 3 km/h and the vehicle is not in the correct starting position for the parking process, the driver is requested to move the vehicle further forwards. This message appears until a Stop message is signaled in the multi-function display. Steer The steering angle control mode is activated as soon as the driver has engaged reverse ‘gear. In addition, the vehicle must be stationary in the correct starting position and the driver must have removed the hands from the steering wheel The system steers the vehicle into the parking space. The driver retains full control as he accelerates and brakes the vehicle himself. In addition, the driver is supported by the parking system. All ten sensors now operate as conventional clearance sensors. 1g angle contro! mode active Parking process The driver is supported by the messages in the multi-function display and the parking system. The driver decides to stop the vehicle. To change direction, he engages forwards gear. The Active Park Assist continues, the steering system is still controlled and the parking process proceeds. Parking process finishedWhen the vehicle is in the correct position (angle, distance at the side to the curbstone or the maximum number of backwards and forwards movements has been exceeded), this is indicated to the driver in the multi-function display. Active Park Assist is subdivided into two modes: + Measurement of parking spaces * Steering angle control During measurement of parking spaces, the system scans both sides of the vehicle for parking spaces. Two ultrasonic sensors are used for this, which are secured to the front bumper. The ultrasonic sensors measure the lateral distance to objects as the vehicle drives: past them. The vehicle can be driven past the objects at a distance of 40-150 cm from them. The side ultrasonic sensors have a measuring range of about 4 meters. Using the measured distance, the parking aid module uses a simple geometrical equation to determine whether the vehicle will fit in the parking space. Suitable spaces are indicated to ‘the driver with a corresponding message and the audio device outputs a tone. This tone can be switched off using the menu of the instrument cluster. ‘After driving past, the parking space will be offered within 1.5 to 3.5 meters. It will be rejected at the latest after 12 meters. If several spaces occur in succession, the last space is always shown. Even if the system is not activated by the driver, at speeds below 30 km/h spaces on both sides of the vehicle are measured. On activation, these are then offered (if appropriate) When measuring parking spaces, it is basically enough when the system detects an object in front as the limit of a space. One single vehicle at the side of the road is thus interpreted 'as a space, so that it can then be parked behind, Requirements for parking space measurement: Engine running. all CAN (controller area network) signals received electronic stability program - traction control active no trailer connected vehicle speed below 30 km/h in forward gear or neutral The steering angle control mode assists the system during parking by taking over the control of the steering wheel. The parking aid module calculates 2 movement path which makes parking possible. As soon as reverse gear is engaged by the driver, the parking aid module sends a request to the {Acronym.£PS} ({Acronym.EPS}) module. The driver is informed via the multi-function display that he should remove his hands from the steering wheel. The smaller design of the multi-function display shows a text, all others show a diagram. If the driver moves the steering wheel during the automatic parking, the process is discontinued. The system can however be activated again using the Active Park Assist ‘switch, when this is indicated via the multi-function display, Requirement for steering angle control mode: + Checked by the parking aid module = same requirements as for parking space measurement = system was activated by the driver - 2 suitable parking space was found - the vehicle has the correct starting position for beginning the parking maneuver and is stationary. = reverse gear engaged + Checked by the parking aid module and the (Acronym,EPS} module- vehicle speed is between 0 km/h and 10 km/h - external torque of the steering wheel is below 2 Nm = turning speed of the steering wheel is less than 6 °/sec Checked by the {Acronym.EPS} module: ~ {Acronym.EPS} is working normally - CAN signals of the steering angle request and the vehicle speed are correctly transmitted. The final alignment of the vehicle in the parking space can be improved by the driver. It depends on: the direction of driving by (straight as possible) the speed of driving by (if possible below 10 km/h) how far the driver drives backwards and forwards in the space (ideally until the constant tone) Component Description Layout of components ItemDescr Ultrasonic sensors and sensor mounting, front parking aid Ultrasonic sensors and sensor mounting, Active Park Assist and front parking aid Parking Aid Module Ultrasonic sensors and sensor mounting, rear parking aid Active Park Assist switch unitParking module input signals: + ABS (anti-lock brake system), bidirectional wheel speed sensors, {Acronym.EPS} module, steering angle sensor, instrument cluster, parking sensors, ultrasonic sensors, parking aid activation switch, Active Park Assist activation switch, PCM (powertrain control module), ambient air temperature sensor, GEM (generic electronic module), trailer module, TCM (transmission control module).

The LED goes out when the parking maneuver is completed successfully and the message in the multi-function display disappears. If there are faults in the system or the steering angle control mode is canceled, a warning tone sounds and the LED flashes for several seconds. Multi-function display Multi-function display messagesThe level 2 multi-function display only shows text messages (see table in attachment). All other multi-function displays show diagrams as well Limitations of the system The Active Park Assist relies upon a number of sensors to recognize parking spaces, to calculate movement paths and to move the steering wheel accordingly. The measurement is limited by physical constraints and the accuracy of the individual sensors. Ultrasonic sensors: * Only objects which reflect enough sound waves will be detected by the sensors. This occurs through the shape, surface properties and size of the objects. Dirt-covered sensors, heavy rain and snow can cause spaces not to be recognized. Incorrect sensor positions also lead to a faulty measurement. Wheel speed sensor: ‘+ The same limitations apply as for standard ABS. Incorrect wheel impulses or alignment of the sensors cause reduced parking accuracy or abandonment of the maneuver. If a spare Wheel or wheels with a size not specified for the vehicle are fitted, the system will not park correctly. Extremely worn tires or the incorrect tire pressure cause the same effect. ‘Steering angle sensor: ‘+ Manufacturing tolerances or dismounting the sensor have effects on the measured steering angle, which leads to a reduction in the parking accuracy ABS sensors: + The ABS sensors are designed as bidirectional sensors. They recognize whether the vehicle is moving forwards or backwards. The speed threshold which causes the steering control mode to stop is limited to the accuracy of the speed information. This information is based on the front wheels. Ambient temperature sensor: + The parking aid module calculates the speed of sound based on the ambient air temperature. For this reason, the ultrasonic sensors of the Active Park Assist can calculate the width of the space with enough accuracy. Technical limitations of the system:Active Park Assist only operates correctly with the original Ford Audio System. If the audio system is removed or another is installed, the acoustic warning tones will no longer sound, The Active Park Assist system must be removed or deactivated. ‘The temperature range of the components of the Active Park Assist is between -40°C and 85°C, The system defines the passenger side as the standard parking side. If the driver wishes to change the side, he must operate the turn signal switch. If the engine stops during the maneuver, the system switches off and the parking space is rejected, Objects which appear after the measurement of the parking space while driving by are not considered in the movement path during parking, A warning sounds via the conventional parking system however. If the vehicle has been equipped with various enhancements (cycle rack, trailer) which do not have electrical connections, the Active Park Assist system does not recognize this. The additional dimensions will not be considered in the calculation of the path. If an aftermarket trailer hitch is fitted, this must be registered via the central module configuration. 15 cm will be added to the required parking length.Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 413-13, for schematic and connector information.
