WARNINGS
A manual override may be required
when approaching other road users
such as cyclists.
Do not use the system in fog.
CAUTIONS
In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. A
manual override may be necessary in
these cases.
Reflective road signs may be detected
as oncoming traffic and the
headlamps may be switched to low
beam.
If the lights of oncoming vehicles are
hidden by obstacles (for example
guard rails) the system may not
deactivate the high beam.
Always fit Ford Original Parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other
bulbs may reduce system
performance.
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.
The system will automatically switch on
main beam 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 beams
will remain on.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle, and
monitors conditions continuously to decide
when to switch the high beam off and on.
Once the system is active the high beam
will switch on if:
• It is dark enough to require the use of
high beams and
• there is no traffic or street lighting
ahead and
• vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The high beam will switch off if:
• The ambient light is high enough that
high beam is not required.
• An approaching vehicle's headlamps
or tail lamps are detected.
• Street lighting is detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below 25 km/h (16
mph).
• The camera sensor is too hot or
becomes blocked.
Activating the system
Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 89). See Autolamps
(page 56).
Turn the switch to the autolamps position.
