Active Park Assist

Active Park Assist is a useful feature available on Ford trucks and SUVs at Schicker Ford in St. Louis. It utilizes ultrasonic sensors to detect parking spaces and helps the driver with parallel or perpendicular parking. This system takes over the steering, shifting, braking, and acceleration to navigate parking spaces with ease, reducing the stress and effort required for parking.

Comprehensive Parking Assistance

The Active Park Assist system works in conjunction with several features to provide comprehensive parking assistance:

  • Parallel Parking: The system's sensors measure the distance to the curb and other parked cars. When a suitable parallel parking spot is identified, the system will signal the driver to stop and accept its assistance. The system then takes control of the steering to accurately maneuver the vehicle into the parking space.
  • Park Out Assist: This feature aids the driver in exiting a difficult parallel parking spot. When activated, it provides instructions on shifting, moving the vehicle forward and back, while the driver continues to control the accelerator, brake, and transmission.
  • Reverse Perpendicular Parking: This feature assists the driver in backing into a suitable, non-angled parking space. It uses the same steering assistance as parallel parking to make the process easier and more precise.
  • Forward and Side Sensing Systems: These systems use sensors to warn the driver of objects in front of and at the sides of the vehicle. This helps to prevent collisions and provides additional awareness during parking maneuvers.

To utilize Active Park Assist, the front and rear sensors must be clear of snow, ice, frost, and mud to ensure proper functionality. The system works in conjunction with the Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) to control the steering input, while the driver retains control over the accelerator, brake, and transmission (Drive and Reverse).

Overall, Active Park Assist is a valuable feature that enhances parking convenience and safety, making it easier for drivers to navigate tight parking spaces with confidence.
