Detection Issues; System Not Available; Blocked Sensor - Ford 2016 Fusion Hybrid Owner's Manual

Detection Issues

WARNING
On rare occasions, detection issues
can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,
the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if
required.
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
may detect a vehicle later than expected
in some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
will not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.

In these cases the system may brake late

If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detections.
Contact an authorized dealer to check the
radar for proper coverage and operation.
