HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY

After you switch the ignition off, you can
switch the headlamps on by pulling the
direction indicator lever toward you. You
will hear a short tone. The headlamps will
switch off automatically after three
minutes with any door open or 30 seconds
after the last door has been closed. You
can cancel this feature by pulling the
direction indicator toward you again or
switching the ignition on.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. A manual
override may be necessary if the system
fails to switch the high beam on or off.
A manual override may be required
when approaching other road users
such as cyclists.
Do not use the system in fog.
In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. A manual override may be
necessary in these cases.
The system may not deactivate the
high beam if the lights of oncoming
vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for
example guard rails).
Check and replace wiper blades
regularly to ensure the camera
sensor has a clear view through the
windscreen. Replacement wiper blades
must be the correct length.
Note: Keep the windscreen free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.
Note: Reflective road signs may be
detected as oncoming traffic and the
headlamps will be switched to low beam.
Note: Always fit Ford Original Parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
