When you shift to reverse (R), the side
sensing system provides audible warnings
when your vehicle is moving and obstacles
are detected within 6 in (15 cm) or when
obstacles are detected within 6–24 in
(15–60 cm) and are inside the driving path
of your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches
a standstill condition, the audible warning
stops after 2 seconds. Visual indication is
always present in reverse (R).
When you shift to drive (D) or any other
forward gear, for example, low (L), sport (S)
or any forward gear in manual transmission,
the side sensing system provides audible
and visual warnings when your vehicle is
moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and obstacles are detected within 6 in
(15 cm) or when obstacles are detected
within 6–24 in (15–60 cm) and are inside the
driving path of your vehicle. Once your
vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the
audible warning stops after 2 seconds and
visual indication stops after 4 seconds. If the
obstacles detected are within
6 in (15 cm),
the visual indication remains on. If the transmission is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual indication
(not audible) only when your vehicle is
moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and obstacles are detected within 6 in
(15 cm). Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the visual indication
stops after 4 seconds.
If the side sensing system is not available,
the side distance indicator blocks are not
present.
The side sensing system is not available
under the following condition:
• If you switch the traction control system
off.
• After a key cycle, side sensing is not
available until your vehicle travels the
length of your vehicle in order for the
system to initialize. •
If your vehicle is in a standstill condition
for over 2 minutes, side sensing is not
available until your vehicle travels the
length of your vehicle in order for the
system to reinitialize.
• During an ABS or traction control event,
side sensing disables and is not available
until your vehicle travels the length of
your vehicle in order for the system to
reinitialize.

Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable

to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.

maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals. Check every month
