2014 FORD FUSION (AMERICAS) key

The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,snow or bumper stickers to obstruct theseareas, this can cause degraded systemperformance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor or low visibility willappear in the information display alongwith a warning indicator. You can clear theinformation display warning but thewarning indicator will remain illuminated.
When you remove a blockage, you canreset the system in two ways:
•While driving, the system detects atleast two objects.
•You cycle the ignition from on to offand then back on.
If the blockage is still present after the keycycle and driving in traffic, check again fora blockage.
Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area infront of the radar or removethe obstruction.
The radarsurface isdirty orobstructed
Drive normally in traffic fora few minutes to allow theradar to detect passingvehicles so it can clear theblocked state.
The radarsurface isnot dirty orobstructed
No action required. Thesystem automaticallyresets to an unblockedstate once the rainfall orsnowfall rate decreases orstops. Do not use the BlindSpot Information System orCross Traffic Alert in theseconditions.

System Limitations
The Blind Spot Information and CrossTraffic Alert systems do have theirlimitations; situations such as severeweather conditions or debris build-up onthe sensor area may limit vehicle detection.
The following are other situations that maylimit the Blind Spot Information System:
•Certain maneuvering of vehiclesentering and exiting the blind zone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind zoneat very fast rates.
•When several vehicles forming aconvoy pass through the blind zone.
The following are other situations that maylimit the Cross Traffic Alert system:
•Adjacently parked vehicles or objectsobstructing the sensors.
•Approaching vehicles passing atspeeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).

•Driving in reverse faster than 5 mph(8 km/h).
•Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note:If your vehicle has a factory equippedtow bar and it is towing a trailer, the sensorswill detect the trailer and turn the Blind SpotInformation and Cross Traffic Alert systemsoff to avoid false alerts. For non-factoryequipped tow bars, you may want to turnthe Blind Spot Information System offmanually.
There may be certain instances when thereis a false alert by either the Blind SpotInformation or the Cross Traffic Alertsystems that illuminates the alert indicatorwith no vehicle in the coverage zone. Someamount of false alerts are normal; they aretemporary and self-correct.
System Errors
If either system senses a problem with theleft or right sensor, the Blind SpotInformation System telltale will illuminateand a message will appear in theinformation display.
All other system faults will display onlywith a message in the information display.See Information Messages (page 95).
Switching the Systems Off and On
You can temporarily switch off one or bothsystems in the information display. SeeGeneral Information (page 87). Whenyou switch off the Blind Spot InformationSystem, you will not receive alerts and theinformation display will display a systemoff message. The system switches backon whenever you switch the ignition on.
Note:The Cross Traffic Alert system alwaysswitches on whenever the ignition isswitched on. However, the Blind SpotInformation System will remember the lastselected on or off setting.
One or both systems cannot be switchedoff when MyKey is used. See Principle ofOperation (page 50).
