rear view mirror FORD FUSION HYBRID (AMERICAS) 2015 2.G Quick Reference Guide

Rear View Camera
Provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The display
automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Front and Rear Sensing System*
Sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near either bumper.
The warning tone increases in frequency as the object gets closer.
The front sensors are active when the gearshift is in any position
other than park (P) or neutral (N) and the vehicle speed is below
6 mph (10 km/h). The rear sensors activate when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Lane Keeping System*
Detects unintentional drifting out of your lane through
various driver alerts and steering corrections toward
the center of the lane. Set your system settings as
desired by Mode, Sensitivity and Intensity from your
information display screen.
Driver Alert*
Automatically monitors your driving behavior using various inputs
including the front camera sensor. If the system detects that your
driving alertness is reduced below a certain threshold, the system
alerts you by using a tone and displaying a message in the cluster
display. If no correction is made, warnings continue to alert the
driver. Press OK on the steering wheel to clear the warning.
Collision Warning System*
Designed to alert the driver of certain collision risks. A radar detects
if your vehicle is rapidly approaching another vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours. If it is, a red warning light illuminates and
an audible warning tone sounds. If the risk of collision increases, the
system increases brake support to help reduce collision speed.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert
*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered into
your blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R).
BLIS and cross traffic turn on a yellow indicator light in the exterior
mirror on the side of the vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming
from. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
NOTE Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Manual for safety
information, more details and system limitations.
