Using The System - Ford KUGA Owner's Manual

Note: In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain, snow,
spray and large contrasts in lighting can all
prevent the sensor from functioning
correctly.
Note: Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding the
sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
function correctly.
Note: Always fit Ford original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
Note: Keep the windshield free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.
Note: The system may not detect all traffic
signs and may read signs incorrectly.
Note: The system is designed to
automatically detect traffic signs meeting
the Vienna convention.
Note: Traffic sign data provided by the
navigation system contains information
integrated to the data carrier release.
There is a sensor mounted behind the
interior rear view mirror. It continuously
monitors road signs to inform you of the
current speed limit and overtaking
regulations.
The system automatically detects
recognisable traffic signs, such as:
• Speed limit signs.
• No overtaking signs.
• Speed limit cancellation signs.
When the system recognises a traffic sign,
it will be shown in the display.

2. After a predetermined time they will
be shown normally.
