around the road user.
247
2022 Maverick (CFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202106, First-Printing Pre-Collision AssistE356419

After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the road
user, the system applies additional steering
torque to help you steer around the road
user. After you pass the road user, the
system applies steering torque when you
turn the steering wheel to steer back into
the lane. The system deactivates after you
fully pass the road user.
Note:
Road users are defined as another
stationary vehicle in the same lane or a
vehicle traveling in the same lane in the
same direction as you. See Pre-Collision
Assist Precautions (page 243).
EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Evasive steering assist only activates when
all the following occur:
• Automatic emergency braking and
evasive steering assist are on.
• The system detects a road user ahead
and starts to apply the brakes.
• You significantly turn the steering
wheel to steer around a road user. Note:
Evasive steering assist does not
automatically steer around a road user. If
you do not turn the steering wheel, evasive
steering assist does not activate.
Note: Evasive steering assist does not
activate if the distance to the road user
ahead is too small and the system cannot
avoid a crash.
Note: Evasive steering does not activate
with cyclists or pedestrians.
SWITCHING EVASIVE STEERING
ASSIST ON AND OFF
To switch the system on or off, use the
instrument cluster display:
1. Select
Settings.
2. Select

evasive steering assist turn on every time
you switch the ignition on.

WHAT IS DRIVER ALERT
Driver alert alerts you if it determines that
you are becoming drowsy or if your driving
deteriorates.
HOW DOES DRIVER ALERT
WORK
Driver Alert calculates your alertness level
based on your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings and other factors
through use of the front camera sensor
behind the interior mirror.
DRIVER ALERT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death. WARNING: Take regular rest
breaks if you feel tired. Do not wait for
the system to warn you. WARNING:
Certain driving styles
may result in the system warning you
even if you are not feeling tired. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.
Note: If something is blocking the camera
or damaged the windshield, Driver Alert may
not function.
DRIVER ALERT LIMITATIONS
Driver alert may not function correctly if:
• The sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.
• Your vehicle's speed is less than
approximately
40 mph (65 km/h).

LOAD CARRYING
PRECAUTIONS
Keep your loaded vehicle weight
within its design rating capability,
with or without a trailer. Properly
loading your vehicle provides
maximum return of vehicle design
performance. Before you load your
vehicle, become familiar with the
following terms for determining
your vehicle
’s weight rating, with
or without a trailer, from the
vehicle ’s Tire and Loading
Information label or Safety
Compliance Certification label.
The gross combined weight must
never exceed the Gross Combined
Weight Rating. WARNING: The
appropriate loading capacity of
your vehicle can be limited either
by volume capacity (how much
space is available) or by payload
capacity (how much weight the
vehicle should carry). Once you
have reached the maximum
payload of your vehicle, do not
add more cargo, even if there is
space available. Overloading or
improperly loading your vehicle
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and vehicle rollover. WARNING:
Exceeding the
Safety Compliance Certification
label vehicle weight limits can
adversely affect the
performance and handling of
your vehicle, cause vehicle
damage and can result in the
loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use
replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the
original tires because they may
lower your vehicle's GVWR and
GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the
original tires do not increase the
GVWR and GAWR limitations. WARNING:
Do not exceed
the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification
label. WARNING: Exceeding any
vehicle weight rating can
adversely affect the
performance and handling of
your vehicle, cause vehicle
damage and can result in the
loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
When loading
the roof racks, we recommend
you evenly distribute the load,
as well as maintain a low center
of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with
higher centers of gravity, may
252
2022 Maverick (CFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202106, First-Printing Load Carrying

handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions,
such as slower speeds and
increased stopping distance,
when driving a heavily loaded
vehicle.
Note: If your vehicle comes with
bed rails, we recommend that you
evenly distribute the load and do
not exceed the total maximum
load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg).
USING A SLIDE-IN CAMPER
We do not recommend using your pickup
for carrying a slide-in camper.
LOCATING THE SAFETY
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION
LABELS
Safety Compliance Certification Label
Example: The Safety Compliance Certification label
is located on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver seating position. WHAT IS THE GROSS AXLE
WEIGHT RATING
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight
Rating)
GAWR is the maximum allowable
weight that a single axle (front or
rear) can carry. These numbers
are on the Safety Compliance
Certification label.
WHAT IS THE GROSS VEHICLE
WEIGHT RATING
GVWR is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This includes all options,
equipment, passengers and cargo.
It appears on the Safety
Compliance Certification label.
WHAT IS THE GROSS
COMBINED WEIGHT RATING
Gross Combined Weight Rating
(GCWR) is the maximum
allowable weight of the vehicle
and the loaded trailer, including
all cargo and passengers, that the
vehicle can handle without risking
damage. (Important: The towing
vehicle
’s braking system is rated
for operation at Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating, not at Gross
Combined Weight Rating.)
