Blind Spot Information System - Ford Escape 2014 Owner's Manual

The lane markings are color coded as
follows:
• Green: The system is ready to warn you
of any unintentional lane departure.
• Yellow: The system will automatically
apply a steering torque to align your
vehicle path and correct any
unintended lane drift.
• Red: Your vehicle is approaching or is
too close to the detected lane
boundary. The steering wheel will give
a vibration warning. Take immediate
safe action to reposition your vehicle.
Instances where a lane boundary may be
suppressed:
• Lane markings on the road may not be
detected by the sensor.
• You turn the direction indicator for that
side of your vehicle on.
• If you apply direct steering, accelerate
fast or brake hard.
• Your vehicle speed is outside the
operating limits.
• If there is an anti-lock brake or stability
control intervention.
• Narrow lane width.
Note: You can override the system at any
time during its operation by turning the
steering wheel.

The Blind Spot Information System is
designed to aid you in detecting vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot zone
(A). The detection area is on both sides of
your vehicle, extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 4 m
beyond the bumper. The system is
designed to alert you if certain vehicles
enter the blind spot zone while driving.
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects; nor detect parked vehicles,
people, animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees). It s only designed to alert
you to vehicles in the blind spot zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind spot zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.
Using the System
The Blind Spot Information System turns
on when you start the engine and you drive
your vehicle forward above 8 km/h.
