FORD 2011 Transit Connect v.1 - Manual (Page 178)

The RSS detects obstacles up to
6 feet (1.8 meters) from the rear
bumper with a decreased coverage
area at the outer corners of the
bumper, (refer to the figures for
approximate zone coverage areas).
As you move closer to the obstacle,
the rate of the tone increases. When
the obstacle is less than 10 inches
(25.0 cm) away, the tone will sound
continuously.
The RSS automatically turns on
when the gearshift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition is on.
Note: The RSS will be disabled
when the two trailer tow connectors
are plugged in prior to towing.
Keep the RSS sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free
from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt (do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects). If the sensors are covered, it will
affect the accuracy of the RSS.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rearview camera is located on
the rear doors. The camera system
provides a video image which
appears in the rear view mirror of
the area behind the vehicle. It adds
assistance to the driver while
reversing or reverse parking the
vehicle.
