Modern Ford vehicles feature an absolutely dizzying array of advanced safety features, and the Reverse Sensing System, which comes standard on many Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs, is one such bit of safety tech. Customers here at Bill Colwell Ford have found all sorts of great ways to use this feature, as it helps to prevent parking lot fender benders and makes parallel parking a whole lot easier.
Reverse Sensing System
Like a lot of Ford safety tech, there’s nothing you necessarily have to “do” to make the Reverse Sensing System work. For the most part, it does what it’s supposed to all by itself.
So what is it supposed to do? Hudson Ford owners will find that the Reverse Sensing System can sense when something is behind their vehicle. If the vehicle is in reverse, the sensors on the rear bumpers will detect whatever it is, from other vehicles to pedestrians, and if it senses something, a warning sound will let the driver know if something is behind them. This is handy when pulling out of a parking spot or trying to parallel park.
One thing to keep in mind: the sensors have to be clear of snow, ice, or mud to work well. Check them periodically to make sure they’re clear enough to do their job!
