System Lights and Messages
The system displays a yellow warningindicator located in the exterior mirrors.
Note:It will dim when the ambient lightdecreases.
Cross Traffic Alert also sounds a series oftones and a message appears in theinformation display indicating a vehicle iscoming from the right or left. Cross TrafficAlert works with the reverse sensingsystem that sounds its own series of tones.See Parking Aids (page 167).
System Sensors
WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing ablocked condition and issuing awarning, the number of missedobjects will increase.
Note:It is possible to get a blockagewarning with no blockage present; this israre and known as a false blockage warning.A false blocked condition eitherself-corrects or clears after a key cycle.
196Mondeo (CNG) Vehicles Built From: 08-09-2014 Vehicles Built Up To: 19-04-2015, CG3633en enGBR, Edition date: 10/2014, First PrintingDriving Aids

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,snow or bumper stickers to obstruct theseareas, this can cause degraded systemperformance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor or low visibility willappear in the information display alongwith a warning indicator. You can clear theinformation display warning but thewarning indicator will remain illuminated.
When you remove a blockage, you canreset the system in two ways:
•While driving, the system detects atleast two objects.
•You cycle the ignition from on to offand then back on.
If the blockage is still present after the keycycle and driving in traffic, check again fora blockage.
Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area in frontof the radar or remove theobstruction.
The radarsurface isdirty orobstructed
Drive normally in traffic fora few minutes to allow theradar to detect passingvehicles so it can clear theblocked state.
The radarsurface isnot dirty orobstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically resetsto an unblocked state oncethe rainfall or snowfall ratedecreases or stops. Do notuse the Blind Spot Informa-tion System or Cross TrafficAlert in these conditions.
Heavy rain-fall orsnowfallinterfereswith theradarsignals
Detection Limitations
There may be instances where the systemwill not always detect vehicles enteringand exiting the blind spot zone.
Instances which may cause non-detection:
•Debris build up on the rear bumperpanels in the area of the sensors.
•Certain maneuvering of vehiclesentering and exiting the blind spotzone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind spotzone at high speed.
•Severe weather conditions.
•Several vehicles passing through theblind spot zone following each otherclosely.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The following are other situations that maylimit the Cross Traffic Alert system:
•Adjacently parked vehicles or objectsobstructing the sensors.
•Approaching vehicles passing atspeeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
•Driving in reverse faster than 5 mph(8 km/h).
•Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note:If your vehicle has a trailer towmodule approved by us, the system willdetect a connected trailer and turn off. Fornon-factory equipped tow bars, you maywant to turn the Blind Spot InformationSystem off manually.
There may be certain instances when thereis a false alert by either the Blind SpotInformation or the Cross Traffic Alertsystems that illuminates the alert indicatorwith no vehicle in the coverage zone. Someamount of false alerts are normal; they aretemporary and self-correct.
Detection Errors
If either system senses a problem with theleft or right sensor, the Blind SpotInformation System warning indicator willilluminate and a message will appear inthe information display.
All other system faults will display onlywith a message in the information display.See Information Messages (page 96).
Switching the Systems Off and On
You can temporarily switch off one or bothsystems in the information display. SeeInformation Messages (page 96). Whenyou switch off the Blind Spot InformationSystem, you will not receive alerts and theinformation display will display a systemoff message.
Note:The Cross Traffic Alert system alwaysswitches on whenever the ignition isswitched on. However, the Blind SpotInformation System will remember the lastselected on or off setting.
One or both systems cannot be switchedoff when MyKey is used. See Principle ofOperation (page 38).
You can also have one or both systemsswitched off permanently at an authorizeddealer. Once switched off, the system canonly be switched back on at an authorizeddealer.

Note:The system may not detect all trafficsigns and may read signs incorrectly.
Note:The system is designed toautomatically detect traffic signs meetingthe Vienna convention.
Note:Traffic sign data provided by thenavigation system contains informationintegrated to the data carrier release.
There is a sensor mounted behind theinterior rear view mirror. It continuouslymonitors road signs to inform you of thecurrent speed limit and overtakingregulations.
The system automatically detectsrecognisable traffic signs, such as:
•Speed limit signs.
•No overtaking signs.
•Speed limit cancellation signs.
When the system recognises a traffic sign,it will be shown in the display.
Using the System
Switching the System On and Off
Note:The system status and settings willremain unchanged during ignition cycles.
You can switch the system on and off usingthe information display. See GeneralInformation (page 86).
Setting the System Speed Warning
The system has a number of speedwarning levels which can be set using theinformation display. See GeneralInformation (page 86).
System Display
The system can display two traffic signsin parallel.
You can view the status at any time usingthe information display.
The system display is in four stages asfollows:
1.All new recognizable traffic signs willappear brighter than the other trafficsigns in the display.
2.After a predetermined time they willbe shown normally.
3.After a predetermined distance theywill be shown greyed out.
4.After another predetermined distancethey will be deleted.
If the system detects a supplementarytraffic sign, this sign is indicated as a boxbelow the respective traffic sign. Forexample, when passing a reduced speedlimit in wet road conditions sign.
If your vehicle has a navigation system,stored traffic sign data may influence theindicated speed limit value.

If the system applies the brakes andthe engine stops the hazard warningflashers will automatically turn on.Failure to take care may lead to a crash orpersonal injury.
The system does not react tocyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians,animals or vehicles that are drivingin a different direction. Failure to take caremay result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, serious personal injury or death.
The system does not operate duringharsh acceleration or steering. Failureto take care may lead to a crash orpersonal injury.
The system may not operate duringcold or severe weather conditions.Snow, ice, heavy rain and spray caninfluence the system. Keep the hood freeof snow and ice. Failure to take care mayresult in the loss of control of your vehicle,serious personal injury or death.
The system may not operate whendriving around sharp curves. Failureto take care may lead to a crash orpersonal injury.
WARNINGS
The system may not operatecorrectly if you replace thewindshield with a non-Fordwindshield. Do not carry out windshieldrepairs in front of the sensor. Failure toadhere to this warning may lead to anaccident or injury.
The system may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb reflections.Failure to take care may result in theloss of control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
The system will not operate correctlyif the sensor is blocked. Keep thewindshield free from obstructions,for example, bird droppings, insects, snowor ice. Failure to adhere to this warning maylead to an accident or injury.
When you switch the ignition on thesensor transmits a laser beam. Neverlook directly into the sensor with anytype of object, there is a risk of eye injury.
The sensor is on the rear of the interiormirror. It continuously monitors conditionsto decide when to intervene.
The system operates at speeds belowapproximately 25 mph (40 km/h) byapplying the brakes if it detects that acrash is likely. If the system applies thebrakes, a message appears in theinformation display.
The system may reduce the risk of a lowspeed crash into another vehicle. It alsohelps reduce impact damage or may avoidthe crash completely.
Note:You must depress the brake pedal toobtain full braking force.
