Just took delivery on 2022 expedition limited. When we park the car we don’t hear any front sensors, cameras, or anything guiding the front as we pull in.

Is there a setting I'm missing? Or something I need to do to activate the front parking sensors?

The front camera doesn’t activate automatically. And the front sensors only activate within 3-4ft of an object, which is much closer than most people think.
As for “activating”, yes manual as others have posted. The answer is click the top left expedition icon while in drive and stopped, then click camera 1/3 of the way down the screen on the left. It will turn on the front camera. Sensors will also automatically turn it on if it detects an object as mentioned. FYI, curbs are not objects, have to be over 9” off the ground.

Super helpful information. Thank you so much!

I was thinking the same until I checked the front bumper... It did not come with front sensor... Only rear bumper has it. Look for dime size sensors in the front.

You should have it on your limited. Ours does. But what rd618 said is right, you have to get used to getting closer to objects than you think for it to come on. Once I got used to that it wasn’t a big deal anymore and comes on plenty early enough for me.

Limited trim doesn't come with front sensor? I thought it's a default for limited and above. XLT 202A with special edition option has front sensors as well, according to Ford website.

Do you have the sensors on the front bumper, 4 IIRC, 2 next to the license plate & 2 further outboard? That would be the first indication.
The front park sensor button is between the shifter knob & the center console on our 2018 Max 300A Limited.

We have to get fairly close for it to start alerting. Much closer than the rear sensors.
