System Warnings
Note:
The system does not issue warnings
below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h).
The warning system has two stages. First,
the system issues a temporary warning
that you need to take a rest. This message
only appears for a short time. If the system
detects further reduction in driving
alertness, it may issue another warning
that remains in the information display for
a longer time. You can press OK on the
steering wheel control to clear the warning.
System Display
When active, the system runs
automatically in the background and only
issues a warning if required. You can view
the status at any time using the
information display.
See General
Information (page 90).
The alertness level is shown by six steps
in a colored bar. The current assessment of your alertness
is within a typical range.
The current assessment of your alertness
indicates that you should rest as soon as
safely possible. The status bar travels from left to right as
the calculated alertness level decreases.
As the meter approaches the rest icon, the
color turns from green to yellow to red.
The yellow position indicates the first
warning is active and the red position
indicates the second warning is active.
Note:
If you have recently received a
warning, you should consider resting, even
if the current assessment is within the
typical range.
Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings, or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately
40 mph
(64 km/h), the alertness level changes to
grey for a short time and the information
display informs you that the system is
unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver ’s door.

WARNING: In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in
the immediate area surrounding the
sensor, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.
Note: The system works above
40 mph
(64 km/h).
Note: The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking.
Note: When you select aid or alert and aid
mode and the system detects no steering
activity for a short period, the system alerts
you to put your hands on the steering wheel.
The system may detect a light grip or
touch on the steering wheel as hands off
driving.
Note: The system may not function with a
blocked camera, or if the windshield is
damaged or dirty. When you switch the system on and it
detects an unintentional drift out of your
lane is likely to occur, the system notifies
or assists you to stay in your lane through
the steering system and information
display. In Alert mode, the system provides
a warning by vibrating the steering wheel.
In Aid mode, the system provides steering
assistance by gently counter steering your
vehicle back into the lane.
When the system is functioning in the
combined Alert and Aid mode, the system
first provides steering assistance by gently
counter steering your vehicle back into the
lane, followed by a warning that vibrates
the steering wheel if the vehicle is still out
of the lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off
Note:
The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey
is detected. If the system detects a MyKey,
it defaults to on and the mode sets to alert.
192
Ranger (TFG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201809, Fourth-Printing Driving AidsE249505

When the system detects a vehicle, an
alert indicator illuminates in the exterior
mirror on the side the approaching vehicle
is coming from. If you turn the direction
indicator on for that side of your vehicle,
the alert indicator flashes.
Note:
The system may not alert you if a
vehicle quickly passes through the detection
zone.
Blocked Sensors The sensors are inside the tail lamp on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
If the sensors become blocked, a message
may appear in the information display. See
Information Messages (page 98). The
alert indicators remain illuminated but the
system does not alert you. Blind Spot Information System
with Trailer Tow
(If Equipped)
The blind spot information system with
trailer tow is designed to aid you in
detecting vehicles that may have entered
the detection area zone (A). The detection
area is on both sides of your vehicle and
trailer, extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to the end of your trailer.
When you attach a trailer and have set up
a blind spot trailer, the blind spot
information system with trailer tow
becomes active when driving forward
above
6 mph (10 km/h).
You can switch the system off in the
information display.
See General
Information (page 90). If you switch the
blind spot information system off, blind
spot information system with trailer tow
automatically turns off.

Using the Cross Traffic Alert
System
The system is designed to detect vehicles
that approach with a speed up to 37 mph
(60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the
sensors are partially, mostly or fully obstructed. Slowly reversing helps increase
the coverage area and effectiveness.
The system turns on when you start the
engine and you shift into reverse (R). The
system turns off when you shift out of
reverse (R).The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.
200
Ranger (TFG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201809, Fourth-Printing Driving AidsE142440

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.
System Lights, Messages and
Audible Alerts
When the system detects a vehicle, an
indicator illuminates in the exterior mirror
on the side the approaching vehicle is
coming from. A tone sounds and a
message appears in the information
display. Blocked Sensors
The system uses radar sensors that are in
the tail lamp on each side of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
201
Ranger (TFG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201809, Fourth-Printing Driving AidsE142441 E142442 E280125

If the sensors are blocked, a message may
appear in the information display when
you shift into reverse (R). See Information
Messages (page 98).
System Limitations
The system may not correctly operate
when any of the following occur:
• The sensors are blocked.
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
are obstructing the sensors.
• Vehicles approach at speeds greater
than
37 mph (60 km/h).
• The vehicle speed is greater than 7 mph
(12 km/h)
.
• You reverse out of an angled parking
space.
False Alerts
Note: If your vehicle has a tow bar with a
factory equipped trailer tow module and it
is towing a trailer, the system turns off. If
your vehicle has a tow bar but no factory
equipped trailer tow module, we
recommend that you switch the system off
manually. Operating the system with a
trailer attached causes poor performance.
In certain instances, false alerts may
illuminate the alert indicator even though
there is no vehicle in the coverage zone.
Some amount of false alerts are normal,
they are temporary and self-correct.
System Errors
If the system detects a fault a message
displays.
See Information Messages
(page 98).
Switching the System Off and On
You can temporarily switch the system off
using the information display. See
General
Information (page 90). When you switch
system off, a message displays.
See
Information Messages (page 98). Note:
The system turns on each time you
switch the ignition on and you shift into
reverse (R). If you temporarily switch the
system off, it turns on the next time you
switch the ignition on.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering WARNING:
The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system. If
a fault is detected, a message displays
in the information display. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Switch the ignition off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the ignition on and
watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message
returns, have the system checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:
If the system detects
an error, you may not feel a difference in
the steering, however a serious condition
may exist. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in loss of steering control.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power-assisted steering system. There is
no fluid reservoir to check or fill.
If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving (or if the ignition is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually,
but it takes more effort. Extreme
continuous steering may increase the effort
it takes for you to steer. This occurs to
prevent internal overheating and
permanent damage to your steering
system. If this should occur, you will neither

Adjusting Pre-Collision Assist Settings
You can adjust alert and distance alert
sensitivity to one of three possible settings
by using the information display control.
See
General Information (page 90).
You can switch the distance alert and
indication function off using the
information display controls. See General
Information
(page 90).
If required, you can switch active braking
off using the information display controls.
See
General Information (page 90).
Note: We recommend that you turn the
Pre-Collision Assist 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 last selected setting
when you switch it off and then back on. Blocked Sensors
If a message regarding a blocked sensor
or camera appears in the information
display, the radar signals or camera images
are obstructed. The radar sensor is located
behind a fascia cover near the driver side
of the lower grille. With an obstructed
radar, the Pre-Collision Assist system does
not function and cannot detect a vehicle
ahead. With the front camera obstructed,
205
Ranger (TFG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201809, Fourth-Printing Driving AidsE271779

the Pre-Collision Assist system does not
respond to pedestrians or stationary
vehicles and the system performance on
moving vehicles reduces. The following
table lists possible causes and actions for
when this message displays. Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radaror remove the object causing the obstruc- tion
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty
or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that there is no obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is clean
but the message remains in the display.
The Pre-Collision Assist system is tempor-arily disabled. Pre-Collision Assist should
automatically reactivate a short time after the weather conditions improve.
Heavy rain, spray, snow, or fog is interfering
with the radar signals.
The Pre-Collision Assist system is tempor-arily disabled. Pre-Collision Assist should
automatically reactivate a short time after the weather conditions improve.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface
of the road may interfere with the radar signals.
Contact an authorized dealer to have theradar checked for proper coverage and operation.
Radar is out of alignment due to a front end
impact.
Clean the outside of the windshield in frontof the camera.
The windshield in front of the camera is
dirty or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the camera to detect that there is no obstruction.
The windshield in front of the camera is
clean but the message remains in the display.
Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view repaired.
Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing
zone may change. This could cause missed
or false vehicle detections. Contact an
authorized dealer to have the radar checked
for proper coverage and operation. 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.
