sensor FORD B MAX 2012 1.G User Guide

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Coverage area of up to 31 inches(80 centimetres) from the frontof your vehicle, up to 72 inches(183 centimetres) from the rearbumper and about 6–14 inches(15–35 centimetres) to the sideof the front end of your vehicle.
A
The system sounds an audible warningwhen obstacles are near either bumper inthe following manner:
•Objects detected by the front sensorsare indicated by a high-pitched tonefrom the front speakers.
•Objects detected by the rear sensorsare indicated by a lower pitched tonefrom the rear speakers. As your vehiclemoves closer to the obstacle, the rateof the audible warning increases.
•The sensing system reports theobstacle which is closest to the frontor rear of your vehicle. For example, ifan obstacle is 24 inches (60centimetres) from the front of yourvehicle and at the same time, anobstacle is only 16 inches (40centimetres) from the rear of yourvehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds.
•An alternating audible warning soundsfrom the front and rear if there areobjects at both bumpers that are closerthan 12 inches (30 centimetres).
•If a stationary or receding object isdetected further than 12 inches (30centimetres) from the side of yourvehicle, the audible warning sounds foronly three seconds. Once the systemdetects an object approaching, theaudible warning sounds again.
For specific information on the reversesensing portion of the system, refer to thatsection.

Vehicles With Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 103).
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtyre pressure warning. It will notinflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. This may causethe tyres to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by an authoriseddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tyre. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtyre pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 62).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tyre pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 164).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
