dukescotts Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Just got a 2010 Fusion SEL. It has the reverse sensing feature which was nice until I put my bike rack on the back. Now, it thinks there's something immediately behind me and starts screaming every time I put it into reverse. I thought I could turn off the sensor using the settings but that only seems to turn it off until the next time and then it's right back to on. I'm guessing I could probably have the dealer permanently turn it off. Anyone know if it's possible to make it so that turning it off using the settings keeps it off until I turn it back on? Thanks.

Placebos Report post Posted July 26, 2009 The manual only mentions this; 1. Select this function from theSETUP menu to disable the reversesensing system feature. 2. Press RESET to turn the rearpark assist off. When R (Reverse)gear is selected, PARK AID OFF will be displayed. If that still doesn't keep it off, then i suppose you'd have to get the dealership to do it :S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2010SEL Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah, unfortunately, that only seems to turn it off until the next time you put it in reverse.If it only turns it "off" until the next time you put it in reverse, then this re-programming or whatever you want to call it isn't working at all, I guess. Sounds like a job for your dealer, especially since the system is malfunctioning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akirby Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Apparently Ford changed the software at some point so that turning it off via the setup function only disables it until the vehicle is restarted. There was quite a lengthy discussion about this over on the Edge forum. The manual is wrong and there's nothing the dealer can do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3DALRT Report post Posted August 10, 2009 Is there a seperate fuse you could pull? Or a harness you could undo in the bumper cover from underneath the car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
