2011 FORD C MAX light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Note:
Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps
may flash if you brake heavily.
Note: Occasional brake noise is normal and
often does not indicate a concern. In normal
operation, the system may emit occasional
or intermittent squeal or groan noises when
the brakes are applied. Such noises are
usually caused by environmental conditions
such as cold, heat, moisture, road dust, salt
or mud.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when
driving from a car wash to remove the film
of water.
ABS WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering
and directional stability when you brake
heavily in an emergency, by preventing the
road wheels from locking.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal
will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure
on the brake pedal.
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers
inherent when:
•
you drive too close to the vehicle in
front of you.
• the vehicle is aquaplaning. •
you take corners too fast.
• the road surface is poor.
PARKING BRAKE WARNING
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission should always be left
with the selector lever in position P
(Park). •
Press the foot brake pedal firmly.
• Pull the parking brake lever up smartly
to its fullest extent.
• Do not press the release button while
pulling the lever up.
• If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing uphill, select first gear or P
(Park) and turn the steering wheel
away from the kerb.
• If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing downhill, select reverse gear or
P (Park) and turn the steering wheel
towards the kerb.
To release the parking brake, press the
brake pedal firmly, pull the lever up slightly,
depress the release button and push the
lever down.

Brakes

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The system makes it easier to pull away
when the vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, the vehicle will
remain stationary on the slope for a short
time after you release the brake pedal.
During this time, you have time to move
your foot from the brake to the accelerator
pedal and pull away. The brakes are
released automatically once the engine
has developed sufficient drive to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down the slope.
This is an advantage when pulling away
on a slope, for example from a car park
ramp, traffic lights or when reversing uphill
into a parking space.
WARNING
The system does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave the
vehicle, always apply the parking
brake and select first or reverse gear. USING HILL START ASSIST
The system is activated automatically
when you stop your vehicle on a slope
greater than 3%. The system operates with
the vehicle facing downhill if reverse gear
is selected and with the vehicle facing
uphill if any forward gear is selected.
Vehicles with manual
transmission only
The system can be switched on and off
using the information display. See General
Information (page 83).
Activating the system
WARNINGS
You must remain in the vehicle once
you have activated the system. WARNINGS
At all times you are responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if
required. If a malfunction is detected when the
system is active, the system will be
deactivated and a message will be
shown in the display. See Information
Messages (page 90). You can activate the system only if the
following conditions have been met:
•
The engine is running.
• The system is switched on.
• On vehicles with manual transmission,
the clutch pedal is pressed.
• No failure mode is present.
To activate the system:
1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep
the brake pedal depressed.
2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is
on a slope the system will be activated
automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will remain on
the slope without rolling away for a
short time. This hold time will
automatically be extended if you are
in the process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released automatically.
Deactivating the system
To deactivate the system, perform one of
the following:

Hill Start Assist

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Parking aid sends tones via the audio
system fitted and approved by us. If
this is not working the parking aid
system will not work. Note:
On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the rear parking aid is deactivated
automatically when any trailer lamps (or
lighting boards) are connected to the 13-pin
socket via a trailer tow module we have
approved.
Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: The parking aid may emit false tones
if it detects a signal using the same
frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle is
fully laden. Note:
The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance
between the outer sensor and the side wall
remains constant for three seconds, the
tone will switch off. As you continue, the
inner sensors will detect rearward objects.
USING THE PARKING AID -
VEHICLES WITH: REAR
PARKING AID WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you

when you select reverse gear with the
ignition switched on.
You will hear an intermittent tone at a
distance of approximately 150 centimetres
(59 inches) between the obstacle and rear
bumper and approximately 50 centimetres
(20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the
distance accelerates the intermittent tone.
