The parking aid on Ford F-150 warns the driver of the car acoustically and visually. Rear parking sensors detect objects behind your vehicle when in reverse (R). Beeps are used to warn of the obstacle. The closer the vehicle comes to the obstacle, the shorter the intervals between the tones.
A warning tone sounds when your vehicle approaches an object. As your vehicle moves closer to an object, the rate of the tone increases. The warning tone continuously sounds when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the rear bumper. If your vehicle remains stationary for a few seconds, the audible warning turns off. If your vehicle moves backward the tone sounds again.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the rear parking aid detects the trailer and provides an alert. Disable the parking aid via the SYNC 4 infotainment system when you connect a trailer, to prevent the alert.
