Your Ford F-150 may be equipped with sensors in the front bumper that alert the driver of obstacles in front of the vehicle while parking or moving forward at low speed.
A warning tone sounds when there is an object within 27.6 in (70 cm) from the front bumper. 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 front bumper.
Note: If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from your vehicle, visual indication remains on.
Can front parking sensors be disabled on F-150?
Front parking sensors cannot be disabled on F-150. You can only disable rear parking sensors from the SYNC 4 touchscreen by going to Features > Driver Assistance > Park Aid Sensors.
Front parking sensors location
The front parking aid sensors are in the front bumper on Ford F-150. Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered, the system’s accuracy can be affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
System Limitations
- The front parking aid sensors are active when your F-150 is in any position other than park (P) and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
- The sensor coverage area is up to 27.6 in (70 cm) from the bumper.
- If your Ford F-150 is in reverse (R), the front parking aid detects objects when your vehicle is moving at a low speed or an object is moving toward your vehicle and provides an audio warning, for example another vehicle at a low speed. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the audio warning stops after a few seconds. Visual indication is always active in reverse (R).
- If your Ford F-150 is in any forward gear, the front parking aid provides audible warnings and visual indication when your vehicle is moving at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or below and the system detects an object within the detection zone. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication and audio warning stops after a few seconds.
- If your Ford F-150 is in neutral (N), the front and rear sensors provide visual indication only when your vehicle is moving below a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and obstacles are detected inside the detection areas. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication and audio warning stops after a few seconds.
