WARNINGS
Do not use the system in fog.
In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. A manual override may be
necessary in these cases.
The system may not deactivate the
main beam if the lights of oncoming
vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for
example guard rails).
Check and replace wiper blades
regularly to ensure the camera
sensor has a clear view through the
windscreen. Replacement wiper blades
must be the correct length.
Note: Keep the windscreen free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.
Note: Reflective road signs may be
detected as oncoming traffic and the
headlamps will be switched to dipped
beam.
Note: Always fit Ford Original Parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
The system will automatically switch on
main beams if it is dark enough and no
other traffic is present. If it detects an
approaching vehicle's headlamps or tail
lamps, or street lighting ahead the system
will switch off main beam before it can
distract other road users. Dipped beam will
remain on.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windscreen of your vehicle. This
monitors conditions continuously to decide
when to switch the main beams on and
off.

Lighting
Once the system is active the main beam
will switch on if:
• It is dark enough to require the use of
main beams and
• there is no traffic or street lighting
ahead and
• vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph
(40 km/h).
The main beam will switch off if:
• The ambient light is high enough that
main beam is not required.
• An approaching vehicle's headlamps
or tail lamps are detected.
• Street lighting is detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (25
km/h).
• The camera sensor is too hot or
becomes blocked.
Activating the System
Switch the system on using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 56). See Autolamps
(page 41).
Turn the switch to the autolamps position.
The Automatic Main Beam Control
indicator will illuminate to confirm when
your system is ready to assist.
