Eco Mode; Switching The System Off And On; Type 2 And - Ford Kuga Owner's Manual

The sensor is on the rear of the interior
mirror. It continuously monitors conditions
to decide when to intervene.
The system operates at speeds below
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) by
applying the brakes if it detects that a
crash is likely. If the system applies the
brakes a message will appear in the
information display.
The system may reduce the risk of a low
speed crash into another vehicle. It also
helps reduce impact damage or may avoid
the crash completely.
Note: You must depress the brake pedal to
obtain full braking force.

Switching the System Off and On

Your vehicle comes with this feature
already enabled. If required, you can switch
this feature off using the information
display controls. See General
Information (page 68).
Note: The system automatically turns on
every time you switch the ignition on.
In certain situations we recommend that
you switch the system off, for example:
• driving off-road when objects may
cover the windshield
• driving through a car wash facility.

ECO MODE

This system assists you in driving more
efficiently by constantly monitoring
characteristics of gear changing,
anticipation of traffic conditions and
speeds while driving.
The value of these characteristics is
represented by petals shown in the display,
with five petals being the most efficient.
The more efficiently you drive, the better
the rating, and the better your vehicle's
overall fuel economy.

Driving Aids
Note: These efficiency values do not result
in a defined fuel consumption figure. It might
vary as it is not only related to these driving
habits, but also influenced by many other
factors such as short trips and cold starts.
Note: Frequent short trips, where the engine
does not fully warm up, will also increase
fuel consumption
The system is accessed using the
information display control. See General
Information (page 68).

to other vehicles to avoid the need for
heavy braking or acceleration to improve
fuel economy.
