Traffic Sign Recognition - Ford KUGA Owner's Manual

• Bushes and trees.
• Coming to a stop with a vehicle very
close behind.
Switching the System Off and On
You can switch the system off and on using
the information display. See Information
Displays (page 69).
When you switch the system off no further
alerts will be received. The warning
indicator in the instrument cluster will
illuminate. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 65).
Note: The system status will remain the
same until you manually change it.
Detection Errors
Note: The warning indicator in the exterior
mirror will not illuminate.
If the system senses a fault on either
sensor, the warning indicator in the
instrument cluster will illuminate and
remain on. A message will be shown in the
display to confirm the fault and indicate
which sensor is affected.
Blocked Sensor
WARNINGS
Prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and issuing a
warning, the number of missed
objects will increase.
The sensors may not detect vehicles
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note: Keep the rear bumper area
surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow.
If a sensor becomes blocked the system
performance may degrade. A blocked
sensor message may be displayed.

Driving Aids
The system will automatically return to
normal operation after one of the following
conditions have been met:
• Two other vehicles have been detected
on both sides.
• You switch the ignition off and on.
If the sensor remains blocked after you
have switched the ignition off and on, the
system will detect the blockage again and
alert you.
Trailer Towing False Alerts
If your vehicle has a trailer tow module
approved by us, the system will detect a
connected trailer and turn off. A
confirmation message will be shown in the
information display. See Information
Messages (page 75). The warning
indicator in the instrument cluster will
illuminate. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 65).
Note: If your vehicle has a trailer tow
module not approved by us, the system may
not correctly detect a connected trailer.
Switch the system off to avoid false alerts.
See Information Displays (page 69).

the system and intervening if
required.
