display FORD F650/750 2023 Workshop Manual

A message displays if something obstructs
the radar signals from the sensor. The
sensor is in the lower grille. The system
cannot detect a vehicle ahead and does
not function when something blocks the
sensor.Note:You cannot see the sensor. It is
behind a fascia panel.
Keep the front of your vehicle free of dirt,
metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors and aftermarket lights may also
block the sensor.
Possible causes and actions for the blocked sensor message displaying:
Action Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar
or remove the object causing the obstruc-
tion. The surface of the radar is dirty or
obstructed
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is free
from obstruction. The surface of the radar is clean but the
message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead. Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the
radar signals
Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead. Water, snow or ice on the surface of the
road may interfere with the radar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead. You are in a desert or remote area with no
other vehicles and no roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no
actual block. A false blocked condition either self-clears, or clears after you restart your
vehicle.

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another vehicle traveling in the same
direction as yours, the system provides two
levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Active Braking.
E255268E255268
Alert: When active, a flashing visual
warning appears and an audible warning
tone sounds.
Active Braking: Active Braking is active
at speeds above approximately 15 mph
(24 km/h). Active braking may activate if
the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or avoid the crash
completely.
Pre-Collision Assist Settings
Active braking turns on every time you
switch the ignition on. You cannot adjust
the Pre-Collision Assist settings.
Note:We recommend that you switch the
system off if you install a snow plow or
similar object in such a way that it may
block the radar sensor. Your vehicle
remembers the system status across key
cycles.

Brake Support: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.
Active Braking: Active braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. The system may help
the driver reduce impact damage or avoid
the crash completely.
Note:If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
though the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Distance Indication and Alert
Distance Indication and Alert is a function
that provides the driver with a graphical
indication of the time gap to other
preceding vehicles traveling in the same
direction. The Distance Indication and Alert
screen in the display screen shows one of
the graphics that follow.
E254791E254791
If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays.
Note:Distance Indication and Alert
deactivates and the graphics do not display
when Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist
Settings
You can adjust the following settings by
using the information display controls. See
General Information (page 70).
• You can change Alert and Distance
Alert sensitivity to one of three possible
settings.
• You can switch Distance Indication and
Alert on or off.
• If required, you can switch Active
Braking on or off.
• If required, you can switch the entire
Pre-Collision Assist feature on or off.
Note:Active braking automatically turns
on every time you switch the ignition on.

Note:If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message may display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor automatically recalibrates
successfully.
