Driving Aids; Driver Alert - Ford F-150 2018 Owner's Manual

DRIVER ALERT

WARNINGS
The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace
your attention and judgment. You are
still responsible to drive with due care and
attention.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if
required. Failure to take care may result in
the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
The system may not function if the
sensor is blocked.
Take regular rest breaks if you feel
tired. Do not wait for the system to
warn you.
Certain driving styles may result in
the system warning you even if you
are not feeling tired.
In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can
all limit sensor performance.
The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.
If damage occurs in the immediate
area surrounding the sensor, have
your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
The system may not correctly
operate if your vehicle is fitted with
a suspension kit not approved by us.
Note: Keep the windshield free from
obstructions. For example, bird droppings,
insects and snow or ice.
