FORD 2010 Escape Hybrid v.2 - Manual (Page 231)

Automatic search for parking space
To start, press the APA control
switch located on the instrument
panel. The message center will
display ACTIVE PARK SEARCHING.
To designate what side of the street
to search on, use the turn signal.
The arrow symbols >> and << in
the message center indicate on
which side of the vehicle APA will park. If the turn signal is not on, the
system will automatically search the passenger side.
For best performance, the driver should drive the vehicle as parallel as
possible while passing a parking space. If driven too fast (above 18 mph
[30 km/h]) for the system to measure parking spaces, the message center
will display ACTIVE PARK REDUCE SPEED.
When the system has found a space, the message center will display
SPACE FOUND PULL FORWARD followed by a chime. Drive forward
until the message center displays SPACE FOUND STOP followed by a
chime. When you stop the vehicle in position to begin parking, the
message center displays REMOVE HANDS PUT IN REVERSE. The driver
should always come to a complete stop before changing gears.
