F U N C T I O - Ford EDGE 2023 Quick Reference Manual

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling
in the same direction as yours or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system is
designed to provide three levels
of functionality:
Alert: When active, a flashing visual
warning appears and a warning tone sounds.
Brake support: The system helps reduce
the impact speed by preparing the brakes
for rapid braking. Brake support does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you
press the brake pedal, the system could
apply additional braking up to maximum
braking force, even if you lightly press the
brake pedal.
Active braking: Active braking may activate
if the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or avoid the crash
completely. See the Pre-Collision Assist
chapter in your Owner's Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind the vehicle.
The image appears when the transmission is
in reverse (R) and uses a variety of guidelines
to alert you of your proximity to objects. If
your vehicle is equipped with the obstacle
distance indicator, the system provides an
image of your vehicle and the red, yellow
and green sensor zones. For more
information about the rear view camera,
see the Rear View Camera chapter of your
Owner's Manual.
Note: If mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view, clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
GLOBAL OPENING
You can open the front windows for a
short time after you unlock your vehicle
with the remote control. After you unlock
your vehicle, press and hold the remote
control unlock button to open the windows.
Release the button once movement
starts. Press the remote control lock or
unlock button to stop movement.
Note: To operate this feature, accessory
delay must not be active. You can switch
this feature on and off in the instrument
cluster display, or see an authorized dealer.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM AND CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT
The blind sport information system uses
radar sensors to help you determine if a
vehicle may be in your blind spot zone.
Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in reverse (R). Both systems
illuminate an indicator in the exterior mirror
on the side of the vehicle from which
the approaching vehicle is coming. Cross
traffic alert also sounds tones and displays
messages to warn you from which direction
vehicles are approaching.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need
to watch where the vehicle is moving.
Refer to your Owner's Manual for
safety information, more details and
system limitations.
