Why AEBS warning lamp may be constantly ON? • You may have switched off the AEBS via AEBS switch. • ESP may be switched OFF. • 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. In such a case, AEBS malfunction may be displayed on the information display as shown below. • If system emergency braking occurs two times in one ignition cycle, AEBS will get deactivated to prevent possible unnecessary interventions. In such a case, visit an authorized Ford Trucks Service to activate the system. AEBS Malfunction Service Required • There may be temporary or permanent errors on other components of the vehicle that cause the AEBS to be automatically deactivated. If the AEBS

warning lamp stays illuminated constantly for a long time, visit an authorized Ford Trucks Service. This may mean that AEBS is deactivated due to an error in the system.
