ACTIVE CITY STOP
Principle of Operation
WARNINGS
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.
To achieve full system performance
you must break in the braking
system. See
Breaking-In
(page 221).
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious personal
injury or death.
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.
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.
The system does not operate during
harsh acceleration or steering. Failure
to take care may lead to a crash or
personal injury.
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.
The system may not operate when
driving around sharp curves. Failure
to take care may lead to a crash or
personal injury.
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 with any
type of object, 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 25 mph (40 km/h) by
applying the brakes if it detects that a
crash is likely. If the system applies the
brakes, a message appears 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.
