Ford ESCAPE Owner's Guide

Troubleshooting
Why isn’t APA searching for a parking space?
• You may have deactivated the AdvanceTrac威 system.
• One of the doors (except the driver’s door) may not be securely
closed.
Why doesn’t APA offer a particular parking space?
• Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors. Clear
any material stuck to the sensors.
• There may not be enough room to maneuver the vehicle into the
space. Remember, there needs to be enough space on the opposite
side of the vehicle to allow the front of the vehicle to swing out as you
back into the space.
• The vehicle is not driven close enough to the parking space, less than
60 inches (1.5 m) from neighboring parked vehicles.
• The vehicle is driven too close to the side objects (e.g. less than
16 inches [41 cm] from neighboring parked vehicles).
• You may be driving in R (Reverse). APA can only look for a parking
space while moving forward.
Why doesn’t APA position the vehicle where I want in the space?
• The driver allows the vehicle to roll in the opposite direction of the
transmission (such as rolling forward when R (Reverse) gear is
selected.
• You may be driving in R (Reverse). APA can only look for a parking
space while moving forward.
• There may be an irregular curb along the parking space. APA might
not be able to align the vehicle to curbs that are damaged, very
shallow or covered with material such as debris, leaves, snow, or tarps.
• The vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned
appropriately.
• The vehicle was steered more than usual while driving by the space.
APA performs best when you drive the same distance from the
parking space the entire length of the space.
• The tires may not be installed and maintained correctly. For example,
one or more tires may not be inflated correctly, may not be of the
same size, or may not be authorized for use on this vehicle.
• The vehicle had a repair or alteration that is not authorized by the
manufacturer.
