Ford Escape (2018 year). Manual — part 19

Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.

Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message may
appear in the information display if the
camera is blocked.

Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to turn
the high beams on and off.

Once the system is active, the high beams
turn on if:
•

The ambient light level is low enough.

•

There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.

•

The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).

The high beams turn off if:
•

The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.

•

The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.

•

The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).

•

The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.

•

The camera is blocked.

Bounce-Back

(If Equipped)

The window stops automatically while

Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature

WARNING

When you override the bounce-back
feature the window will not reverse
if it detects an obstacle. Take care

when closing the windows to avoid
personal injury or damage to your vehicle.

Proceed as follows to override this
protection feature when there is a
resistance, for example in winter:

1.

Close the window twice until it reaches
the point of resistance and let it
reverse.

2. Close the window a third time to the

point of resistance. You disabled the
bounce-back feature and you can now
close the window manually. The
window travels past the point of
resistance and you can close it fully.

Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if the window does not close after
the third attempt.
