OPERATION
Switching the System Off and On
Note:
AEBS will be automatically ON every time ignition

Note:
To deactivate or activate the AEBS, press
the AEBS switch on the dashboard shown in the

AEBS deactivation switch
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.
How to override an AEBS intervention
AEBS may warn and brake even if the traffic
situation is not dangerous. Be prepared to suppress
the AEBS.
You can suppress an AEBS warning or stop an
ongoing AEBS warning, if you:
•
use left/right turn signal
• depress the brake pedal
• depress the accelerator pedal
• press the AEBS deactivation switch
You can abort an AEBS triggered emergency
braking intervention, if you;
• depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point (kick down)
• press the AEBS deactivation switch
