Detection Beam Issues; Automatic Braking - Ford Transit Owner's Manual

Detection Beam Issues

Detection issues can occur:
• With vehicles that edge into your lane
that can only be detected once they
have moved fully into your lane (A).
Motorcyclists may be detected late, or
not at all (B).
• With vehicles in front of you when
going into and coming out of a bend
(C). The detection beam will not follow
sharp curves in the road.
In these cases the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and
intervene if necessary.

vehicle needs to brake heavily and you do
not intervene by braking manually, an
alarm will sound and the display will show
