BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
The blind spot information system
detects vehicles that may have
entered the blind spot zone. It uses
sensors on both sides of your vehicle,
detecting rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 13
(4 m) beyond the rear bumper.
The detection area extends to
approximately 59 (18 m) beyond
the rear bumper when the vehicle
speed is greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h) to alert you of faster
approaching vehicles.
The blind spot information system
turns on when you start your vehicle,
shi into drive (D) and your vehicle
reaches a speed greater than 6 mph
(10 km/h). The blind spot information
system does not operate in park (P) or
reverse (R). The system may not alert
you if a vehicle quickly passes through
the detection zone.
To switch the blind spot information
system on and o:
1. Press the
button on
the touchscreen.
2. Press Driver Assistance.
3. Switch Blind Spot Information
System on or o.
If you switch the blind spot
information system o, a warning
lamp illuminates and a message
displays. When you switch the system
on or o, the alert indicators flash
twice. The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle.
CONNECTED VEHICLE
A connected vehicle has technology that
allows your vehicle to connect to a mobile
network and to access a range of features.
When used in conjunction with the
FordPass app, this technology could allow
you to monitor and control your vehicle
further, for example, checking the tire
pressures, the charge level and the vehicle
location. For additional information, refer
to the local Ford website.
The modem has a SIM. The modem was
enabled when your vehicle was built
and periodically sends messages to stay
connected to the cell phone network,
receive automatic soware updates and
send vehicle-related information to us, for
example, diagnostic information. These
messages could include information
that identifies your vehicle, the SIM
and the electronic serial number of
the modem. Cell phone network
service providers could have access to
additional information, for example, cell
phone network tower identification. For
additional information about our privacy
policy, visit www.FordConnected.com or
refer to your local Ford website.
