According to Ford, this new ultrasonic technology is more accurate and safer than those self-parking systems which are based on cameras and that can be seen in the Lexus LS sedan.

It has electric power supported steering that has been reckoned as the main component of this system. This steering system is also being narrated as to boost up to 5% fuel economy. According to Ford, this is because of a little load from hydraulic pump (belt driven) on engine.
