FORD 2012 Focus v.4 - Manual (Page 284)

If the vehicle is equipped with a
forward and reverse sensing system,
the driver can disable the entire
system (front and rear sensors) by
pressing the parking aid off switch
located on the lower portion of the
center console.
The message center will indicate a
failure in the forward or reverse
system and will not allow the driver
to switch the faulted system on.
Note: If the system cannot be turned off, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks
and Security chapter for more information.
The system defaults to enabled every time the ignition is switched on.
Press the control or parking aid off switch (for forward and reverse
sensing systems) to disable or enable the system.
Keep the sensors (located on the front and 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 sensing system.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the front or 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 rear video camera system,
located on the liftgate above the
license plate, provides a video image
of the area behind the vehicle.
Note: The camera can be found in
either location as shown by the
arrows in the graphic. It adds
assistance to the driver while
reversing or reverse parking the
vehicle. To use the rear video camera system, place the transmission in R
(Reverse). An image will display on the touchscreen display. The area
displayed on the screen may vary according to the vehicle orientation
and/or road condition.
The rear video camera includes the following features that will assist the
driver in reverse driving.
