Ford Escape: Parking Aids / Parking Aid Indicators

The system provides object distance
indication through the information and
entertainment display.
- As the distance to the object
decreases, the indicator waves and the
lines move toward the vehicle icon.
- If there is no object detected, the
distance indicator lines are grey.
Visual indication remains on when your
vehicle is in reverse (R). In any other gear,
when you stop your vehicle, visual
indication turns off after four seconds.
If the parking aids are not available, the
side distance indicator lines do not display.
