Ford Transit (2018 year). Manual — part 40

The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. When the steering wheel position
is straight the active guidelines are not
visible. Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are further from your vehicle.

Objects are getting closer to your vehicle
as they move from the green zone to the
yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
vehicle.

Manual Zoom

WARNING

When manual zoom is on, the full
area behind your vehicle may not
show. Be aware of your surroundings

when using the manual zoom feature.

Manual zoom is only available when you
shift the transmission into reverse (R).

Selectable settings for this feature are
Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the
symbol in the camera screen to change the
view. The default setting is Zoom OFF.

This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only
active while the transmission is in reverse
(R).

Note: Only the centerline shows when you
switch on manual zoom.

Rear View Camera Delay

WARNING

Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make

sure your vehicle is not moving.

You can switch this feature on or off using
the vehicle settings menu in the
information display. The default setting is
off.

When shifting the transmission out of
reverse (R) and into any gear other than
park (P), the camera image remains in the
display until:
•

Your vehicle speed sufficiently
increases.

•

You shift your vehicle into park (P).

Vehicles with Parking Aid

The system uses red, yellow and green
colored distance bars that indicate the
approximate distance of an object from
the rear bumper. The distance bars appear
on the camera guidelines when the sensing
system detects an object.

(If Equipped)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNINGS

Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, in heavy traffic or when the
road surface is slippery. This could

result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.

When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed could increase above
the set speed. The system does not

apply the brakes.

Note: Cruise control disengages if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h) below the set speed while driving
uphill.

DRIVER ALERT

Principle of Operation

WARNINGS

The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace
your attention and judgment. You are

still responsible to drive with due care and
attention.

At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if

required. Failure to take care may result in
the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.

The system may not function if the
sensor is blocked.

Take regular rest breaks if you feel
tired. Do not wait for the system to
warn you.

Certain driving styles may result in
the system warning you even if you
are not feeling tired.

In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can

all limit sensor performance.

The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.

WARNINGS

If damage occurs in the immediate
area surrounding the sensor, have
your vehicle checked as soon as

possible.

The system may not correctly
operate if your vehicle is fitted with
a suspension kit not approved by us.

Note: Keep the windshield free from
obstructions for example bird droppings,
insects and snow or ice.

Note: The system assists you when driving
on fast main roads and freeways.

Note: The system calculates an alertness
level at vehicle speeds above approximately
40 mph (65 km/h).

The system automatically monitors your
driving behavior.

The system is designed to alert you if it
detects that you are becoming drowsy or
if your driving deteriorates.

Using Driver Alert

Switching the System On and Off

Switch the system on using the information
display. See Information Displays (page

System Warnings

Note: The system does not warn you if the
vehicle speed falls below approximately
40 mph (65 km/h).

The warning system has two stages:
1.

A temporary warning is issued to advise
you to take a rest. This message only
appears for a short time.

2. If you do not rest and the system

continues to detect that your driving
deteriorates, it issues a further warning.
This remains in the information display
until you cancel it. See Information
Messages (page 98).

Press OK on the steering wheel control to
remove the warning.
