Everest (Tec) , Eb3B-19G219-Ekb Enaus, Cpe Review - Ford EVEREST Owner's Manual

When your vehicle rapidly approaches
another vehicle, a red light bar flashes in
the windscreen (refer to image), a warning
lamp with the words "Pre-collision Assist"
is displayed in the instrument cluster and
a tone sounds.
The brake support system assists you in
reducing any collision speed by
pre-charging the brakes. If the risk of
collision continues to increase after the
audio-visual warning, the brake support
prepares the brake system for rapid
braking. The system does not
automatically activate the brakes, but can
provide supplementary braking power if
the brake pedal is pressed even lightly.
Using the Pre-Collision Assist
System
WARNING
The Pre-Collision Assist system's
brake support reduces collision
speed only if you brake your vehicle
before any collision. You must press your
brake pedal as you would in any typical
braking situation.
You can adjust the warning system's
sensitivity through your information
display. See General Information (page
72). .
Note: When possible, the manufacturer
recommends using the highest sensitivity
setting. If warnings are too frequent, you can
reduce your system's sensitivity. Reduced
sensitivity causes fewer and later system
warnings. See General Information (page
72). .
