Traffic Sign Recognition - Ford C-MAX Owner's Manual

Setting the System Sensitivity
You can adjust how quickly the system
intervenes in a dangerous situation. The
system has two sensitivity levels which you
can set using the information display. See
General Information (page 81).
System Warnings
A column of lane markings are displayed
either side of the vehicle graphic.
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.

TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION

Principle of Operation
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
At all times you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if
required.
If the sensor becomes blocked the
system may not function.
Note: In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain, snow,
spray and large contrasts in lighting can all
prevent the sensor from functioning
correctly.
Note: Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding the
sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
function correctly.
Note: Always fit Ford original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
