OPERATION

Emergency braking system

and always pay attention to your speed and your distance from the car in front. The effectiveness of the system vary depending on the speed, driver inputs, heavy rainfall, the behaviour of the vehicle in front of you, your vehicle’s condition and road conditions. If you do not have the periodical maintenances of your vehicle performed by Ford authorized services, the system may not work correctly. If your vehicle shall be towed by another vehicle, turn off the system by pressing the off button. If your vehicle is towed while the system is on, the systemmay cause your vehicle to provide warnings or to brake unexpectedly. While driving your vehicle in terrain conditions, you shall turn off the system by pressing the off button. How shall the driver maintain the system under normal operation conditions? Note: If you receive a warning that the radar sensor is blocked on the information display, this means that the radar signals are blocked. The radar sensor is located behind the flat surface in the lower center area of the top grill as shown below. If the radar is blocked, the emergency braking system shall not operate and detect the vehicle in front.

The system is designed to provide active driver support only to prevent a possible frontal collision or to reduce the severity of the collision under real traffic conditions. The systemmay not always detect the possibility of collision and/or may not be able to prevent the collision even if it detects it. The system is not designed to prevent all kinds of collisions or to detect complex traffic conditions. Careful driving is always the responsibility of the driver. Always use your vehicle with caution and be ready to apply the brakes. Failure to observe this warning may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death. CAUTION The system does not respond to bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians, animals, or vehicles moving in a different direction. Failure to observe this may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death. The system is not designed to prevent accidents that may occur with stationary vehicles. The systemmay only reduce the severity of rear-end collisions that may occur with stationary vehicles under certain circumstances only.

The systemmay not work while taking sharp turns. Failure to observe this may result in accidents or personal injury. Under cold or harsh conditions, the systemmay not operate or may operate with low performance. Snow, ice, rain, water and fog that splashes from the wheels of the vehicle in front of you or from the road in extreme amounts can adversely affect the operation of the system. Failure to observe this may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death. If you replace the windshield with a windshield that is not produced by Ford, the systemmay not work correctly. Do not perform windshield repairs in the areas in front of the camera sensor. Failure to observe this warning may result in accidents or injuries. Systemmay not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflections. Failure to observe this may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death. System performance may be deteriorated if the camera sensor's sensing capability is limited. For example, direct sunlight that dazzles the eyes, inadequate sunlight, vehicles with rear stop lights that do not work at night time, narrow vehicles and unusual vehicle types may not be detected by the system. Do not drive recklessly relying on the system
