Ford Fusion: Parking Aid - Vehicles With: Active Park Assist / Parking Aid - Overview. Description and Operation
Overview - Active Park Assist
The
active park assist system is a supplementary parking system that
assists the operator with the task of parking in three ways:
-
Parallel Park Assist - Detects an available parking
space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space while the
operator controls the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
-
Perpendicular Park Assist - Detects an available parking
space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space while the
operator controls the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
-
Parallel Park Out Assist (only for exiting parallel
spots) - Analyzes the parking space currently occupied by the vehicle
and automatically steers the vehicle out of the space while the operator
controls the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The PAM
uses inputs from the active park assist sensors, parking aid sensors
and a geometrical equation to determine whether the vehicle fits in the
parking space and to determine the correct steering angles to request
from the PSCM during
the parking maneuvers. The system visually and/or audibly instructs the
operator to park the vehicle through messages in the centerstack
infotainment display and audio system warning chimes.
