The headlamps will not turn on by wiper
activation:
•
During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. A manual
override may be necessary if the system
fails to switch the high beam on or off.
A manual override may be required
when approaching other road users
such as cyclists.
Do not use the system in fog.
In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. A manual override may be
necessary in these cases.
The system may not deactivate the
high beam if the lights of oncoming
vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for
example guard rails).
Check and replace wiper blades
regularly to ensure the camera
sensor has a clear view through the
windscreen. Replacement wiper blades
must be the correct length.
Note: Keep the windscreen free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.
Note: Reflective road signs may be
detected as oncoming traffic and the
headlamps will be switched to low beam.
Note: Always fit Ford Original Parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
The system will automatically switch on
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. If it detects an
approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail
lamps, or street lighting ahead the system
will switch off high beam before it can
distract other road users. Low beam will
remain on.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle. This
monitors conditions continuously to decide
when to switch the high beams on and off.
Once the system is active the high beam
will switch on if:
•
It is dark enough to require the use of
high beams and
• there is no traffic or street lighting
ahead and
• vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 40 km/h.
The high beam will switch off if:
•
The ambient light is high enough that
high beam is not required.
• An approaching vehicle's headlamps
or tail lamps are detected.
• Street lighting is detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below
approximately 25 km/h.
• The camera sensor is too hot or
becomes blocked.
Activating the System
Switch the system on using the information
display. See
General Information (page
70). Turn the switch to the autolamps
position. See
Autolamps (page 49).
