sensor Mercury Milan Hybrid 2010 s Owner's Guide

The Cross Traffic Alert system detects vehicles approaching up to 45 feet
(14 meters) away (approximately the width of five parking spaces).
Coverage decreases when vehicles and objects in close proximity block
the Cross Traffic Alert sensors (refer to figure for approximate zone
coverage areas[sensor obstructed to vehicle on left]). Backing
slowly from the parking spot in these situations helps to increase the
sensor coverage and effectiveness.
Cross Traffic coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles
(refer to figure for approximate zone coverage areas[sensor
obstructed to vehicle on left]).

BLIS™-CTA fault operation
If the BLIS™-CTA senses a fault on either the left or right sensor, the
BLIS™ alert indicator will go ON and remain ON and the message center
will display BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT or CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM
FAULT. For faults that may cause the associated left or right alert
indicator not to illuminate, only the message center faults will occur.
Blocked sensor
An extreme build up of materials on
the left and/or right quarter panel
fascias such as mud or snow can
cause degraded performance of the
BLIS™. Also, heavy rain can cause
the same effect. The BLIS™ can
detect this degraded performance
and issue a blocked warning to the driver via the message center. If
condition is determined by the system, the message center displays
BLIND SPOT NOT AVAILABLE or CROSS TRAFFIC NOT AVAILABLE
warning and the appropriate left and/or right exterior mirror alert
indicator will illuminate. The message center warning may be cleared by
the driver but the exterior mirror alert indicator will remain illuminated.
WARNING:Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked
condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects
will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS™ as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS™ is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist.
Once blockage is removed, the system will require some driving time and
detection of at least two vehicle object prior to realizing it is unblocked,
or the driver can cycle the ignition key. If blocked and the ignition key is
cycled, the system resets to unblocked. If however blockage is still
present after the key cycle, the system will sense again that it is blocked
after driving in traffic.

The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message
being displayed:
The surface of the left
or right radar is dirty or
obstructed in some wayClean the fascia area in front of the radar, either left
or right side, or remove obstruction.
The surface of the left
or right radar is not
dirty or obstructedDrive normally in traffic for a few minutes to allow the
radar to detect that it is no longer blocked. Note, the
vehicle must be in D (Drive) and a few vehicles must
pass so that the BLIS™ can clear a blocked state.
Heavy rainfall or heavy
snowfall is interfering
with the radar signalsNo action required by the driver. The system will
automatically go unblocked once the rainfall/snowfall
rate decreases or stops. Do not use BLIS™-CTA in
heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall.
Trailer tow false alerts
When towing a trailer the left and right sensor may detect the trailer
thus causing a false alert. It may be desirable to turn the BLIS™ system
off if the false alerts become annoying.
Day and night brightness
The BLIS™-CTA amber alert will automatically dim when the headlamp
switch is in PARK, ON, or AUTO ON and night time darkness has been
detected by the sun sensor.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
If driving through deep or standing
water is unavoidable, proceed very
slowly especially when the depth is
not known. Never drive through
water that is higher than the bottom
of the wheel rims (for cars) or the
bottom of the hubs (for trucks).
When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be limited.
Also, water may enter your engine’s air intake and severely damage your
engine or your vehicle may stall.Driving through deep water where
the transmission vent tube is submerged may allow water into the
transmission and cause internal transmission damage.
Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your
vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.
Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes.

Power distribution box
The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. The
power distribution box contains high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads.
WARNING:Always disconnect the battery before servicing high
current fuses.
WARNING:To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace
the cover to the Power Distribution Box before reconnecting the
battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, refer to the
Batterysection of theMaintenance and Specificationschapter.

CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will
illuminate when the spare tire is in use. To restore the full functionality
of the monitoring system, all road wheels equipped with tire pressure
monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage
to the TPMS sensors, refer toTire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)in theTires, Wheels and Loadingchapter. Replace the spare
tire with a road tire as soon as possible. During repairing or replacing of
the flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect the TPMS sensor for
damage.
WARNING:The use of tire sealants may damage your Tire
Pressure Monitoring System and should not be used.
WARNING:Refer toTire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
in theTires, Wheels and Loadingchapter for important
information. If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes damaged, it
will no longer function.
