mickter Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hi all, I have a 2016 1.5 tdci C-max, a couple of times when slowly approaching a car park barrier the brakes apply and make a horrible noise after the barrier had gone up. I don`t have front sensors and have checked pads & discs. spoke to Ford but no help. this has only happened at the same car park , once going in and twice coming out, and nowhere else.and not every time. Any ideas.Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Are you hitting the barrier?馃檮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It sounds like the active city stop, all the facelift Mk3 Focus's have it from 2015 on so I would assume the CMax does as well.聽 The car thinks you're going to hit the barrier so brakes for you.聽 The sensor for this is on the windscreen, it's nothing to do with parking sensors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I have same issue when I'm driving up to our automatic doors at work. So now I don't bother braking. Lol one day it won't work and that could get messy. Or I get in another car without it聽 and forget. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2018 Grand Cmax Titianium doesnt have city stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
