WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK
Cross traffic alert detects vehicles that
approach at a speed between 4–
37 mph
(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at narrow angles. The sensor on
the left-hand side is mostly obstructed and
zone coverage on that side is severely
reduced.
Note:
Slowly reversing helps increase the
coverage area and effectiveness. CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The
cross traffic alert system is not a
replacement for careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
LIMITATIONS
The system may not correctly operate
when any of the following occur:
• Something is blocking the sensors.
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
are obstructing the sensors.
• Vehicles approach at speeds less than
4 mph (6 km/h) or greater than 37 mph
(60 km/h)
.
• Your vehicle speed is greater than
7 mph (12 km/h)
.

Why does the system not detect a
sensor?
•
There could be an issue with the
connection. Make sure that the 12-way
connector is fully inserted into the
12-way socket, that the red rubber seal
is not visible when the connector is fully
inserted and that the wiring harness
sensor connection is fully inserted at
the trailer sensor.
• The wiring harness could be damaged.
Check for damaged wiring between the
12-way connector and the trailer
sensor.
• There could be multiple sensors
connected to your vehicle. Make sure
only one sensor is connected at a time.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration
when setting up the system with
the sensor?
• The trailer length could be outside the
allowed range. The system is designed
to work with trailers that have a hitch
point to center of the axle or axles
measurement of 6–33 ft
(1.85– 10.05 m).
• The road surface could be too rough or
bumpy. Try calibrating the system on
a smoother road surface, such as an
open parking lot.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up. What does it mean if the system
does not detect a trailer when
configured with a sensor?
•
Verify that you properly connected the
sensor. See
Trailer Sensor
Installation (page 424). Repeat
calibration on a different route if you
have verified sensor installation.
What if I want to use a sensor for
the trailer instead of a sticker?
• Install the sensor and connect the
sensor wiring before adding the new
trailer to the system. You must connect
the sensor before you add the trailer.
If your vehicle did not come with a
sensor, you can purchase one from your
authorized dealer.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer to prevent damage to the system
sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Precautions (page 537). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. When repairing or replacing the
flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect
the system sensor for damage.
Note: The use of tire sealant could damage
your tire pressure monitoring system. Only
use in roadside emergencies.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, you must mount all
road wheels that come with tire pressure
monitoring sensors on this vehicle.
Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
Assembly Information WARNING:
Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
tire, the intent of the spare wheel is for
temporary use only. This means that if you
need to use it, replace it as soon as
possible with a road wheel and tire
assembly that is the same size and type
as the road tires and wheels originally
provided by Ford. We define a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly as a spare wheel and tire
assembly that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels.
Full-size dissimilar spare
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, do not:
•
Exceed
70 mph (113 km/h).
• Use more than one dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly at a time.
• Use snow chains on the end of the
vehicle with the dissimilar spare wheel
and tire assembly.
Engage any four-wheel drive mode. See
Four-Wheel Drive Limitations (page 270).
The usage of a full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can lead to
impairment of the following:
• Handling, stability and braking
performance.
• Comfort and noise.
• Ground clearance and parking at curbs.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet weather driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, give
additional caution to:
• Towing a trailer.
• Driving vehicles that come with a
camper body.
• Driving vehicles with a load on the
cargo rack.
Drive cautiously when using a full-size
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
and seek service as soon as possible.
