System Warnings
Note:
The system will not issue warnings
below approximately 40 mph (65 km/h).
The warning system has two stages:
1. A temporary warning is issued to advise
you to take a rest. This message only
appears for a short time.
2. If you do not rest and the system continues to detect that your driving
deteriorates, it will issue a further
warning. This will remain in the
information display until you cancel it.
See Information Messages (page
87).
Press
OK on the steering wheel control to
remove the warning.
System Display
When active the system will run
automatically in the background and only
issue warnings if required. You can view
the status at any time using the
information display. See

The alertness level is shown by six steps
as a colored bar. Alertness level is fine, no rest required. Alertness level is critical, indicating that
you should take a rest as soon as it is safe
to do so.
The status bar will travel from left to right
as the calculated alertness level
decreases. As the rest icon is approached
the color turns from green to yellow and
then finally red when a rest break must be
taken.
•
Green: No rest required.
• Yellow: First (temporary) warning.
• Red: Second warning.
Your alertness level will be shown in grey
if:
• the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings
• your vehicle speed drops below
approximately 40 mph (65 km/h).
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by:
• switching the ignition off and on
• stopping your vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver's door.

WARNINGS
The sensor may incorrectly track lane
markings such as other structures or
objects. This can result in a false or
missed warning. In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow, spray and large
contrasts in lighting can all influence the
sensor. The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.
The system may not operate in areas
during roadwork construction.
The system may not operate on
roads with sharp bends or narrow
lanes.
Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding
the sensor.
If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may
not function correctly.
Note:
Keep the windshield free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.
Note: The system may assist you when
driving on fast main roads and freeways.
Note: The system may not operate during
hard braking or acceleration and when you
are intentionally steering your vehicle.
Note: The system will operate with a
minimum of one tracked lane marking.
Note: The system will only operate above
vehicle speeds of approximately 39 mph
(62 km/h).
The sensor is located behind the interior
mirror. It continuously monitors conditions
to alert you of unintentional lane drifting
at high speeds. The system will automatically detect and
track the lane markings on the road. If the
system detects that your vehicle is
unintentionally drifting toward the lane
markings, you will see a warning in the
information display. There is also a warning
given in the form of a vibration felt through
the steering wheel.
Note:
The vibration intensity from the
steering wheel may decease depending on
the quality of the road surface.

System Warnings
A column of lane markings are displayed
on either side of the vehicle graphic.
The lane markings are color coded as
follows:
•
Green: The system is ready to warn you
of any unintentional lane departure.
• Red: Your vehicle is approaching or is
too close to the detected lane
boundary. Take immediate safe action
to reposition your vehicle.
• Gray: The system will suppress the
relevant lane boundary.
Instances where a lane boundary may be
suppressed:
• The sensor may not detect the lane
markings on the road.
• You turn the direction indicator for that
side of your vehicle on.
• If you apply direct steering, accelerate
fast or brake hard.
• Your vehicle speed is outside the
operating limits. •
If there is an anti-lock brake or stability
control intervention.
• Narrow lane width.
If the lane markings in the display turn red
or you feel a vibration through the steering
wheel you must take immediate and safe
action to align your vehicle. Correct any
unintended lane drift immediately. STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power
steering system:
•
Never hold the steering wheel at its
furthest turning points (until it stops)
for more than three to five seconds
when the engine is running.
• Do not operate the vehicle with a low
power steering pump fluid level (below
the MIN mark on the reservoir).
• Some noise is normal during operation.
If excessive, check for low power
steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your dealer.
• Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused
by low power steering fluid. Check for
low power steering pump fluid level
before seeking service by your dealer.
• Do not fill the power steering pump
reservoir above the MAX mark on the
reservoir, as this may result in leaks
from the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks down
(or if the engine is turned off), you can
steer the vehicle manually, but it takes
more effort.
156
Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Driving AidsE152382

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
an improperly inflated tire
• uneven tire wear
• loose or worn suspension components
• loose or worn steering components
• improper vehicle alignment
If any steering components are serviced or
replaced, install new fasteners (many are
coated with thread adhesive or have
prevailing torque features which may not
be re-used). Never re-use a bolt or nut.
Torque fasteners to specifications.
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to
wander or pull.
