Operation Manual

Note: The Cross Traffic Alert system always
switches on whenever the ignition is
switched on. However, the Blind Spot
Information System will remember the last
selected on or off setting.
One or both systems cannot be switched
off when MyKey is used. See Principle of
Operation (page 33).
You can also have one or both systems
switched off permanently at an authorized
dealer. Once switched off, the system can
only be switched back on at an authorized
dealer.
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION
Principle of Operation
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
At all times you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if
required.
If the sensor becomes blocked the
system may not function.
Note: In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain, snow,
spray and large contrasts in lighting can all
prevent the sensor from functioning
correctly.
Note: Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding the
sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
function correctly.
Note: Always fit Ford original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
Note: Keep the windshield free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.
Note: The system may not detect all traffic
signs and may read signs incorrectly.
Note: The system is designed to
automatically detect traffic signs meeting
the Vienna convention.
Note: Traffic sign data provided by the
navigation system contains information
integrated to the data carrier release.
There is a sensor mounted behind the
interior rear view mirror. It continuously
monitors road signs to inform you of the
current speed limit and overtaking
regulations.
The system automatically detects
recognisable traffic signs, such as:
• Speed limit signs.
• No overtaking signs.
• Speed limit cancellation signs.
When the system recognises a traffic sign,
it will be shown in the display.
Using the System
Switching the System On and Off
Note: The system status and settings will
remain unchanged during ignition cycles.
You can switch the system on and off using
the information display. See General
Information (page 80).
Setting the System Speed Warning
The system has a number of speed
warning levels which can be set using the
information display. See General
Information (page 80).
