If it is, a red warning light illuminates andan audible warning chime sounds.
The brake support system assists the driverin reducing the collision speed by chargingthe brakes. If the risk of collision furtherincreases after the warning lightilluminates, the brake support preparesthe brake system for rapid braking. Thismay be apparent to the driver. The systemdoes not automatically activate the brakesbut, if the brake pedal is pressed, full forcebraking is applied even if the brake pedalis lightly pressed.
Using the Collision Warning System
WARNING
The collision warning system’s brakesupport can only help reduce thespeed at which a collision occurs ifthe driver applies the vehicle’s brakes. Thebrake pedal must be pressed just like anytypical braking situation.
The warning system sensitivity can beadjusted to one of three possible settingsby using the information display control.See General Information (page 87).
Note:If collision warnings are perceived asbeing too frequent or disturbing then thewarning sensitivity can be reduced, thoughthe manufacturer recommends using thehighest sensitivity setting where possible.Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewerand later system warnings. See GeneralInformation (page 87).
Blocked Sensors
If a message regarding a blocked sensorappears in the information display, theradar signals from the sensor have beenobstructed. The sensors are located behinda fascia cover near the driver side of thelower grille. When the sensors areobstructed, a vehicle ahead cannot bedetected and the collision warning systemdoes not function. The following table listspossible causes and actions for thismessage being displayed.

ActionCause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radaror remove the object causing the obstruc-tion
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirtyor obstructed in some way
Wait a short time. It may take severalminutes for the radar to detect that it is nolonger obstructed
The surface of the radar in the grille is cleanbut the message remains in the display

System Limitations
WARNING
The collision warning system’s brakesupport can only help reduce thespeed at which a collision occurs ifthe driver applies the vehicle’s brakes. Thebrake pedal must be pressed just like anytypical braking situation.
Due to the nature of radar technology,there may be certain instances wherevehicles do not provide a collision warning.These include:
•Stationary vehicles or vehicles movingbelow 6 mph (10 km/h).
•Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
•Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
•Severe weather conditions (seeblocked sensor section).
•Debris build-up on the grille near theheadlamps (see blocked sensorsection).
•Small distance to vehicle ahead.
•Steering wheel and pedal movementsare large (very active driving style).
•
If the front end of the vehicle is hit ordamaged, the radar sensing zone may bealtered causing missed or false collisionwarnings. See your authorized dealer tohave your collision warning radar checkedfor proper coverage and operation.

What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted,this feature allows the vehicle to be driventemporarily before incremental componentdamage is incurred. The fail-safe distancedepends on outside temperatures, vehicleload and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the enginecoolant temperature gauge will move tothe red (hot) area and:
A high engine temperaturemessage will appear in theinformation display.
The service engine soonindicator will light.
If the engine reaches a presetover-temperature condition, the enginewill automatically switch to alternatingcylinder operation. Each disabled cylinderacts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs, your vehicle will stilloperate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will bedisabled.
Continued operation will increase theengine temperature and the engine willcompletely shut down, causing steeringand braking effort to increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, theengine can be re-started. Take your vehicleto an authorized dealer as soon as possibleto minimize engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNINGS
Fail-safe mode is for use duringemergencies only. Operate thevehicle in fail-safe mode only as longas necessary to bring the vehicle to rest ina safe location and seek immediate repairs.When in fail-safe mode, the vehicle willhave limited power, will not be able tomaintain high-speed operation, and maycompletely shut down without warning,potentially losing engine power, powersteering assist, and power brake assist,which may increase the possibility of acrash resulting in serious injury.
Never remove the coolant reservoircap while the engine is running or hot.
You have limited engine power when in thefail-safe mode, so drive your vehicle withcaution. Your vehicle will not be able tomaintain high-speed operation and theengine will run rough. Remember that theengine is capable of completely shuttingdown automatically to prevent enginedamage, therefore:
1.Pull off the road as soon as safelypossible and turn off the engine.
2.Arrange for the vehicle to be taken toan authorized dealer.
3.If this is not possible, wait a shortperiod for the engine to cool.
4.Check the coolant level and replenishif low.
5.Re-start the engine and take yourvehicle to an authorized dealer.
Note:Driving your vehicle without repairingthe engine problem increases the chance ofengine damage. Take your vehicle to anauthorized dealer as soon as possible.

1Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid, orequivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluidmay cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Ford performance standards.Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum products orother materials may result in brake system damage and possible failure.2Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.3Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid shouldonly use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct service interval. SeeScheduled Maintenance (page 428).4See your authorized dealer for fluid level checking or filling.5Your engine has been designed to use Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils that meetFord's oil specification. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended viscositygrade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API certification mark for gasolineengines.6Do not use oils labeled as API SN unless the label also displays the API certification mark.These oils do not meet the requirements of your vehicle's engine and emissions system.7Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary andcould lead to engine damage not covered by your Ford warranty.8Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.9 See the Warning below:
WARNING
The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under highpressure. Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury.Have the air conditioning refrigerant system serviced only by qualified personnel.

•MP3 folder mode represents a folderstructure consisting of one level offolders. The CD player numbers all MP3tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3file extension) and all folderscontaining MP3 files, from F001(folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level offolders helps with navigation throughthe disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it isimportant to understand how the systemreads the structures you create. Whilevarious files may be present, (files withextensions other than mp3), only files withthe .mp3 extension are played; other filesare ignored by the system. This enablesyou to use the same MP3 disc for a varietyof tasks on your work computer, homecomputer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays andplays the structure as if it were only onelevel deep (all .mp3 files play, regardlessof being in a specific folder). In foldermode, the system only plays the .mp3 filesin the current folder.
