Pre-Collision Assist Limitations - Ford F-150 2023 Owner's Manual

WARNING: The system may
operate with reduced function during
cold and inclement weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Take additional care if
your vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer. These conditions could
result in reduced performance of this
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system cannot
help prevent all crashes. Do not rely on
this system to replace driver judgment
and the need to maintain a safe distance
and speed.
WARNING: System performance
could be reduced in situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians or cyclists with complex
backgrounds, running pedestrians or fast
moving cyclists, partly obscured
pedestrians or cyclists, pedestrians or
cyclists that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, personal injury or death.

Pre-Collision Assist
(If Equipped)
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the
detection ability of its camera and sensors.
Any obstructions or damage to these areas
can limit detection or prevent the system
from functioning. See Locating the
Pre-Collision Assist Sensors (page 393).
The system is active at 3 mph (5 km/h)
and above.
Note: The pre-collision assist system
automatically disables when you select
four-wheel drive low, manually disable
AdvanceTrac™, or select rock crawl mode,
if your vehicle comes with it.
Note: Brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active up to the
maximum speed of the vehicle.
Pedestrian Detection Limitations
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds
up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Pedestrian detection operates optimally
when detected hazards are clearly
identifiable. System performance may
reduce in situations where pedestrians are
running, partly obscured, have a complex
background, or when the system cannot
distinguish pedestrians from a group.
Cyclist Detection Limitations
Cyclist detection is active at speeds up to
50 mph (80 km/h).
Cyclist detection functions optimally when
detected hazards are clearly identifiable.
The system's detection level may be less
in situations where cyclists are moving fast,
partly hidden, have a complex background,
or the system cannot distinguish the cyclist
from a group.
