remote control FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 2019 Owner's Manual

Action
Cause
Clean the radiator grille in front of the radar
or remove any obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty
or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short period of 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 interfere with the radar
signals.
Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead.
Swirling water, snow or ice on the surface
of the road interfere with the radar signals.
Wait a short period of time or switch to
normal cruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with no
other vehicles and no roadside objects.
It is possible to get a blockage warning and not be blocked. A false blocked condition self
clears or clears after a key cycle.
Due to the nature of radar technology, you
may get a blocked sensor warning when
no obstruction blocks your sensor. This can
happen, for example, when driving in
sparse rural or desert environments. A false
blocked condition either self clears or
clears after a key cycle.
Switching to Normal Cruise
Control WARNING: Normal cruise control
will not brake when your vehicle is
approaching slower vehicles. Always be
aware of which mode you have selected
and apply the brakes when necessary.
You can change from adaptive cruise
control to cruise control using the
information display. The gap setting does not display
and the system does not
respond to lead vehicles.
Automatic braking remains active to
maintain set speed.
