Operation Manual

WARNINGS
The system may 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.
The system may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb reflections.
Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
The system will not operate correctly
if the sensor is blocked. Keep the
windshield free from obstructions,
for example, bird droppings, insects, snow
or ice. Failure to adhere to this warning may
lead to an accident or injury.
When you switch the ignition on the
sensor transmits a laser beam. Never
look directly into the sensor. There is
a risk of eye injury.
The sensor is on the rear of the interior
mirror. It continuously monitors conditions
to decide when to intervene.
The system operates at speeds below
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h) by
applying the brakes if it detects that a
crash is likely. If the system applies the
brakes a message will appear in the
information display.
The system may reduce the risk of a low
speed crash into another vehicle. It also
helps reduce impact damage or may avoid
the crash completely.
Note: You must depress the brake pedal to
obtain full braking force.
Switching the System Off and On
You can switch this feature off using the
information display controls. See General
Information (page 80).
Note: The system automatically turns on
every time you switch the ignition on.
In certain situations we recommend that
you switch the system off, for example:
• Driving off-road when objects may
cover the windshield.
• Driving through a car wash facility.
ECO MODE
This system assists you in driving more
efficiently by constantly monitoring
characteristics of gear changing,
anticipation of traffic conditions and
speeds while driving.
The value of these characteristics is
represented by petals shown in the display,
with five petals being the most efficient.
The more efficiently you drive, the better
the rating, and the better your vehicle's
overall fuel economy.
Note: These efficiency values do not result
in a defined fuel consumption figure. It might
vary as it is not only related to these driving
habits, but also influenced by many other
factors such as short trips and cold starts.
Note: Frequent short trips, where the engine
does not fully warm up, will also increase
fuel consumption
The system is accessed using the
information display control. See General
Information (page 80).
