What is Reverse Brake Assist?
Reverse Brake Assist is a feature that is part of Ford's smart driver assistance technology. Your vehicle can detect if there is an object or pedestrian behind you or a vehicle about to cross at the rear. It will sound an alert and if you don't react in time will break for you.
Reverse Brake Assist functions when in Reverse and traveling at a speed of 2-12 km/h (1-7 mph). Please see the Owner's Manual for precautions and limitations or contact Ford Dealer for more information.
Switching Reverse Brake Assist On and Off
- Access the driver assistance menu by press to open the settings menu.
- Press Driver Assistance, the icon may be different depending on your vehicle.
- From the driver assistance menu, press Reverse Brake Assist.
- Switch the feature on or off.
Note: The system is unavailable when the rear parking aid or cross traffic alert is off. If your vehicle is not equipped with cross traffic alert, the reverse brake assist relies on input from only the rear parking aid and rear camera sensors.
Important: Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle. May not operate at certain speeds, or in certain driving, road, or weather conditions.
