Everest (Tec), Eb3B-19G219-Yaa Enaus; Using The System - Ford EVEREST 2015 Owner's Manual

WARNINGS
The system may or may not operate
or may operate with reduced
function during cold or severe
weather conditions. Snow, ice, rain, spray
and fog can influence the system. Keep
the front camera and radar free of snow
and ice. Failure to take care may result in
the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
System performance may reduce in
situations where the camera's
detection capability is limited. These
situations include but are not limited to
direct or low sunlight, vehicles at night
without tail lights, unconventional vehicle
types, pedestrians with complex
backgrounds, running pedestrians, partly
obscured pedestrians, or pedestrians which
cannot be distinguished from a group.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious personal
injury or death.
The system cannot help prevent all
collisions. Do not rely on this system
to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain distance and speed.
Note: The Pre-Collision Assist warning
indicator may flash for a short period of time
when you start your vehicle.

Using the System

The Pre-Collision Assist system is active
at speeds above approximately 5 km/h
and pedestrian detection is active at
speeds up to 80 km/h.

Driving Aids
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 design to provide three levels of
functionality:
1. Alert
2. Brake Support
3. Active Braking
E156131
Alert: When activated, a red warning light
flashes, an audible warning chime sounds
and a warning message shows in the
information display.
Brake Support: The brake support system
assists the driver in reducing the collision
speed by lightly applying the brakes. If the
risk of collision further increases after the
warning light illuminates, the brake support
prepares the brake system for rapid
braking. This may be apparent to the driver.
The system does not automatically
activate the brakes, but if you press the
brake pedal, the system may apply full
force, even if the brake pedal is lightly
pressed.
Active Braking: Active braking may apply
if the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or avoid the crash
completely.
