Hey All-
Did a quick search and couldn't find any threads mentioning this. (Please feel free to point me to any)
While sitting in traffic, I've noticed occasional false alerts for the front parking aid. The alerts are extremely quick, a very quick loud beep or two and it's gone. Most of the time, the "Front Park Aid" popup on the MFC doesn't appear. However, the tone is clearly for the front parking aid.
Interestingly enough, this only happens behind other Ford vehicles. Overall, I've observed this false alert approx. 40 different times and each time, a Ford vehicle was in front of me, equipped with rear park sensors.
When crawling in traffic, my guess is the front sensors do engage, as the system may not be sure if you're attempting to park. So with the occasional ping that's sent, the rear sensors on the other Fords provide the perfect backboard for the pulse, which is enough to briefly sent my front sensors off.
Anyone else ever experience? Doesn't bother me, just curious
