206 Parking Aids When you think your vehicle has enough space in front and behind it, or you hear a solid tone from the parking aid (accompanied by a touchscreen display message and a chime), bring your vehicle to a complete stop. When automatic steering is finished, the touch screen displays a message indicating that the active park assist process is done. The driver is responsible for checking the parking job and making any necessary corrections before putting the transmission in P (Park). Deactivating the Park Assist Feature The system can be deactivated manually by: • pressing the active park assist button • grabbing the steering wheel • driving above approximately 20 mph (35 km/h) for 30 seconds during an active park search • driving above 6 mph (10 km/h) during automatic steering • turning off the traction control system. Certain vehicle conditions can also deactivate the system: • Traction control has activated on a slippery or loose surface. • Anti-lock brake system activation or failure. • Any door (except the driver's) opens. • Something touches the steering wheel. If a problem occurs with the system, a warning message is displayed, followed by a chime. Occasional active park assist messages may occur in normal operation. For recurring or frequent active park assist faults, contact an authorized dealer to have your vehicle serviced. 2015 Taurus Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, April 2014 USA (fus)
