Hi. If you don't experiense the issue below, or have no suggestion for a sollution, please tell me anyway if you do NOT have the problem with the repeated message in the display.

 

Just bought a Transit Connect mod. 2021. Almost new. After a couple of weeks (not at first), I started getting a message in the display (where the speedo is) that says: Park Pilot Rear. ("bak" in Norwegian) Please see picture. I can press ON or OFF (in Norwegian PÅ and AV). Every time I put the car in reverse, This is displayed. I can press ON, and it goes away. The thing is that after shutting off the car, the message comes back when re-starting. The strange thing is that the sensors in the rear camera/ bumper is working fine, even if I press OFF on the message, or just ignore it. My second picture shows the setup on the center display, and I have ticked off the "Advanced Park Pilot" option.

Maybe Park Pilot in fact have nothing to do with the rear camera, and the beeping sensors at all? If it has, why does it keep popping up? I could understand it the first time in a brand new car, but when you have told the system what you want, the setting should be fixed.

In the handbook, it says that Park Pilot in fact are the beeping sensors in the rear bumper, visible in the camera picture.

Anybody know out there? Is there another setting I can not find, or another button to be pushed somewhere

Help is appreciated.

Oh, I saw that -4°C and derived from that.

You were right to assume that. But since picture was taken the temp has risen to 7+ and the problem is still there. And in addition, the beeping and visual sectors in the camera view has been working fine the whole time. It is the message in the dashboard I dont understand. Why am I told to choose every time? And, as I wrote, it is working just fine even if I choose OFF (AV in Norwegian)

If it's any help, the "park assist" on 2018 is separate from the rear camera. It works off the 2 sensors in the bumper facing straight back. Not the sensors at the ends of the bumper which are for "blind-spot warning".

I did have trouble on my old 2016 van with the park assist switch, but just ignored it as too expensive to bother fixing.

You can try to clean the sensors exterior surface, it may help.
