Driving Aids; Driver Alert - Ford 2013 Explorer Owner's Manual

DRIVER ALERT (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: The driver alert system is designed to aid you. It is
not intended to replace your attention and judgment. You are still
responsible to drive with due care and attention.
Note: The system will store the on/off setting in the information display
menu through ignition cycles.
Note: If enabled in the menu, the system will be active above the
40 mph (64 km/h).
Note: The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by
the camera.
Note: If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the
system may not function.
Note: The system may not be available in poor weather or other low
visibility conditions.
The system automatically monitors your driving behavior using various
inputs including the front camera sensor.
If the system detects that your driving alertness is reduced below a
certain threshold, the system will alert you using a chime and a message
in the cluster display
Switching the System On and Off
By default, the system is enabled. You may disable or re-enable the
system by selecting Setting then Driver Assist then Driver Alert in the
menu. When activated, the system will monitor your alertness level based
upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings, and other
factors.
System Warnings
Note: The system will not issue warnings below approximately 40 mph
(65 km/h).
The warning system is in two stages. At first the system issues a
temporary warning that you need to take a rest. This message will only
appear for a short time. If the system detects further reduction in driving
alertness, another warning may be issued which will remain in the
information display for a longer time. Press OK on the steering wheel
control to clear the warning.
