Principle of Operation
WARNING   WARNING:  You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times. The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  To achieve full system performance you must break in the braking system.   See   Breaking-In.  Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  If the system applies the brakes and the engine stops the hazard warning flashers will automatically turn on. Failure to take care may lead to a crash or personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  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.
WARNING   WARNING:  The system does not operate during harsh acceleration or steering. Failure to take care may lead to a crash or personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  The system may not operate during cold or severe weather conditions. Snow, ice, heavy rain and spray can influence the system. Keep the hood free of snow and ice. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  The system may not operate when driving around sharp curves. Failure to take care may lead to a crash or personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  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.
WARNING   WARNING:  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.
WARNING   WARNING:  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.
WARNING   WARNING:  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 50 km/h (31 mph) 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. 
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.
