Ford Expedition (2018 year). Manual — part 54

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 space the

system selects remains clear of obstructions
at all times during the maneuver.

Note:

You should drive your vehicle within

5 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.

Automatically Steering into a Parking
Space

Note:

If your vehicle speed exceeds

approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or you
interrupt the maneuver, the system switches
off and you need to take full control of your
vehicle.

E186191

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 backward and forward in the
space.

When you believe your vehicle is properly
parked, or you hear a solid tone
accompanied by a display message, bring
your vehicle to a complete stop.

When the Active Park Assist maneuver is
complete, the system displays a message
and a tone sounds.

Note:

You are responsible for checking your

parked vehicle and making any necessary
corrections before leaving your vehicle.

Using Active Park Assist - Parallel Park
Out Assist

E146186

Press the Active Park Assist
button once while your vehicle
is at rest in a parallel parking

space to use Parallel Park Out Assist.

The system displays a message instructing
you to select a side. Use the direction
indicator to select which side of your
vehicle you want to exit the parking space.

E188012

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 directs your vehicle past
the adjacent vehicle or object, it guides you
to take control of the steering to complete
the exit out of the parking space.

Note:

If the clearance in front of your

vehicle allows easy departure, the Parallel
Park Out Assist feature may not be
available.

Note:

You are responsible for controlling

your vehicle and making sure the path is
clear prior to pulling into traffic.

Note:

Do not use this system to assist in

exiting perpendicular parking spaces.
Damages to your vehicle may occur.

Note:

If your vehicle speed exceeds

approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) or you
interrupt the maneuver, the system switches
off and you need to take full control of your
vehicle.

Deactivating the Active Park
Assist Feature

You can manually deactivate the system
by:
•

Pressing the Active Park Assist button
during an active maneuver.

•

Grabbing the steering wheel during an
active maneuver.

•

Driving above approximately 22 mph
(35 km/h) for 30 seconds while
searching for a parking space.

•

Driving above approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) during an active maneuver.

•

Switching the traction control system
off.

Certain vehicle conditions may also
deactivate the system, for example:
•

The traction control system activates.

•

There is an anti-lock brake system
activation or failure.

If a problem occurs with the system, a
warning message displays accompanied
by a tone. Occasional system messages
may occur in normal operation. For
recurring or frequent system faults, contact
an authorized dealer.

Troubleshooting the System

Possible Cause

Symptom

You may have the traction control system switched off.

The system does not look for a

space.

The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must
be moving forward to be able to detect a parking space.

The sensors may be covered. For example, snow, ice
or dirt buildup. Covered sensors can affect how the
system functions.

The system does not offer a

parking space.

There is not enough room in the parking space for your
vehicle to safely park.

There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on
the opposite side of the parking space.

The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than
16 in (0.4 m) away.

Your vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h)
for parallel parking, or greater than 19 mph (30 km/h)
for perpendicular parking.

You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After
a battery disconnect, you must drive your vehicle on a
straight road for a short period of time.

Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the
current transmission position. For example, rolling
forward when in reverse (R).

The system does not position

the vehicle correctly.

An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the
system from aligning your vehicle properly.

Improperly parked vehicles or objects are boarding the
space.

Your vehicle is too far past the parking space. The
system performs best when you drive the same
distance past the parking space.

You have incorrectly installed or maintained the tires.
For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or of
different sizes.

A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.

Possible Cause

Symptom

A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example,
a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed.

The parking space length or position of parked objects
changes after your vehicle passes the space.

The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes.
For example, driving from a heated garage into the cold,
or after leaving a car wash.

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.

Reverse your vehicle slowly. Failure
to follow this instruction could result
in the loss of control of your vehicle,

personal injury or death.

Use caution when the rear cargo door
is ajar. If the rear cargo door is ajar,
the camera will be out of position

and the video image may be incorrect. All
guidelines disappear when the rear cargo
door is ajar. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury.

Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). 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.

E142435

The camera is located on the luggage
compartment door, above the license
plate.

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).

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.
