I love smart park assist wish more companies had it like Tesla or Hyundai

[@CarsWithSteve]

Agree with you there! I was in a Kia with the Smart Park Assistant that can move the car forwards/backwards with the keyfob and thought that was pretty neat

[@notpublic7149]

Thank you!!

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome!

[@johnready630]

Thanks Steve for telling me about this one. Hope my car arrives soon but was told the panaramic roof may be out of supply.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome! Hopefully you see it before the end of the year

[@johnready630]

@@CarsWithSteve I hope so , if not it should be reordered as a 2024. So hard right now with ordering/buying.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Might get pushed to a 2024 if you haven't gotten a VIN yet. What color Escape did you go for?

[@johnready630]

@@CarsWithSteve Vapor blue with the space grey leather interior. I try to stay light so not to draw heat so much from sunny days.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Nice choice, that color looks great in person

[@Fivestar291]

Hey can you do a night video to show the ambient lighting?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Great suggestion! I'll add that one to the list

[@searchagent2801]

Did you ever get around to do this video? Thanks

[@keesdejong5712]

I ordered a puma titanium hybrid but i am not sure the park assistant is on it

[@CarsWithSteve]

Believe that the Puma Titanium is the entry level EU trim. It most likely won't have park assist...

[@jeffharding5725]

Great Video! Will the park assist have any troubles with a mounted trailer hitch while doing parallel parking as there is less space until you hit the car behind you and the sensors can't detect the mounted trailer hitch?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Jeff! I haven't tried park assist with a hitch connected but the systems run off the parking sensors so it shouldn't have an issue picking up what's going on around you

[@suryatej]

I have a 2023 Escape Active with Tech package 2..I don't see this park assist feature

[@CarsWithSteve]

Park Assist is in the ST-Line Elite, Platinum and Plugin Hybrid when you get the available tech packs on those trims...

[@RazorKQ]

When using the HUD system, some of the items don't show even though they are selected. One such item is the speed limit signs. It shows on the main display but not on the HUD unless you activate the cruise control. You don't have to have it active, just on. Is this supposed to be the way it works or do I have a bug? Thanks

[@CarsWithSteve]

Believe that speed recognition is only available when adaptive cruise system is toggled on but it should still display even if no speed is set. Most likely a bug but I'd actually recommend reaching out to Ford Canada or USA directly and let them know

[@vivekrathii1]

Hi. I have the same issue. When I test drove with other dealer but same model, I could see the speed limit in the HUD but with the car I bought from other dealer, I dont see the speed limit in the HUD even though the option is checked. I guess as Steve mentioned, I might have to contact the dealer for this bug.

[@nealpandya6286]

Does the 2023 ford escape platinum hybrid have this parking type of parking assist available?

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's optional in the Platinum trim.. just need to make sure that you add on the Premium Technology Package

[@Masrafi]

low key disappointed the HUD doesn't project onto the windshield like others do. otherwise this would have been perfect. been looking for a compact car with 360 camera and HUD.

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's an interesting choice on Ford's part to have the HUD like this.. The Lincoln equivalent, the Corsair, has it projected so Ford could do it that way if they wanted. The display is still pretty visible though with this set up

[@josipdolic6391]

I have parking assist in my 302 it’s called my wife lol

[@CarsWithSteve]

HAHA

[@marlenebueler64]

Why would my car lock up? It shows park asst bla bla see owners manual

[@CarsWithSteve]

If park assist isn't working there could be a few reasons.. Check the sensors and make sure there isn't any snow, ice or dirt, taking it through a car wash is easiest. If that doesn't help there could be an issue with one of the sensors so it'll have to be booked in for service - it might be moisture in a sensor or a worn connector

[@marlenebueler64]

Thank you
