injury or death. System performance may reduce in situations where the camera's detection capability is limited. These situations include but are not limited to direct or low sunlight, vehicles at night without tail lights, narrow vehicles and unconventional vehicle types. Do not rely on this system to replace driver judgment and the need to maintain distance and speed. AEB System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input, incremental precipitation, lead vehicle behavior, your vehicle's state and road conditions AEBS may not work as expected if your vehicle is not inspected by Ford Trucks Service on regular maintenance checks. It is driver's responsibility to switch off the AEB system during being towed via AEBS deactivation switch. Otherwise, AEBS may warn and/or brake unexpectedly. AEBS shall be turned off by the driver while driving off road.

AEB system is designed to provide active driver assistance to avoid rear end collisions or mitigate the effects of a possible collision in real traffic situations in certain frontal collisions only. AEB Systemmay not always recognize a collision situation and/or may not be able to avoid an accident. AEBS is neither designed to recognize complex traffic situations, nor to avoid all kinds of accidents. It is your responsibility to drive carefully at all times. Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and be ready to brake. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. The system does not react to cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, animals or vehicles that are driving in a different direction. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. AEBS is not designed to avoid accidents against stationary vehicles. AEBS may only reduce the effect of a rear end accident with stationary vehicles on certain conditions.

The systemmay not operate when driving around sharp curves and wavy roads. Failure to take care may lead to a crash or personal injury. The system may or may not operate or may operate with reduced function during cold or severe weather conditions. Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can influence the system. Keep the front camera and radar free of snow and ice. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. The systemmay not operate correctly if you replace the windshield with a non-Ford windshield. Do not carry out windshield repairs in front of the sensor. Failure to adhere to this warning may lead to an accident or injury. If something hits the front end of your vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing zone may change. This could cause missed or false vehicle detections. Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. The systemmay not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflections. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal
