What Is Active Park Assist?
Ford Motor Company launched Active Park Assist on select vehicle lines for parallel parking assistance.
- Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the curb and between parked cars.
- Once a spot that's big enough is identified, the system will signal the driver to stop and accept the system's assistance.
- When the driver gives the system light to proceed, Park Assist controls the steering and the driver controls the braking.
Please note that even when using Active Park Assist it is still important to pay attention to your surroundings. At any time the driver can disengage Active Park Assist by taking control of the steering wheel or putting the vehicle into neutral.
