Following a vehicle

WARNING: When following a vehicle in front of you, the vehicle will not decelerate automatically to a stop, nor will the vehicle always decelerate quickly enough to avoid a collision without driver intervention. Always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a collision, serious injury or death.

When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed will adjust automatically to maintain a preset gap distance. The distance setting is adjustable, refer to Setting the gap distance in this section. The lead vehicle graphic will be illuminated. The vehicle will maintain a constant distance between the vehicle ahead until: • The vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed. • The vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view. • The vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (26 km/h). • A new gap distance is set.

Driver Controls

The vehicle brakes will be automatically applied to slow the vehicle to maintain a safe distance between the vehicle in front. The maximum braking which is applied by the ACC system is limited and can be overridden by the driver applying the brakes. If the ACC system predicts that its maximum braking level will not be sufficient, an audible warning will sound while the ACC continues to brake. This is accompanied by a heads-up display; a red warning bar illuminating on the windshield. The driver should take immediate action. Note: The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control system.

WARNING: Adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. In some cases there may be no

warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a collision, serious injury or death.

Setting the gap distance The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you can be decreased or increased by pressing the GAP control up or down. The selected gap will be displayed in the message center as shown by the bars in the graphic. Four gap distance settings are available.

Low speed automatic cancellation ACC is not functional at vehicle speeds below 16 mph (26 km/h). Once the vehicle speed drops below 16 mph (26 km/h), an audible alarm will sound and the automatic braking will be released. Hilly condition usage It is recommended that the driver select a lower gear position when ACC is active in situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep grades (i.e., driving in mountainous areas). In these situations, additional engine braking is needed to reduce the load on the vehicle’s regular brake system to prevent them from overheating. For more information, reference Automatic transmission operation in the Driving chapter. Note: If ACC is applying brakes for an extended period of time, an audible alarm will sound and ACC will shut down. This is to allow the brakes to cool down. When the brakes have cooled down, the ACC will again function normally. Turning off cruise control Press OFF to turn off the cruise control. Note: When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. Detection issues The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may not detect vehicles at all or detect a vehicle later than expected. Detection issues can occur:

• When driving on a different line than the vehicle in front.

95

2012 Edge (edg) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)

Driver Controls

• With vehicles that edge into your lane. These vehicles can only be

detected once they have moved fully into your lane.

• There may be issues with the detection of vehicles in front when

driving into and coming out of a bend or curve in the road.

In these cases ACC may brake late or unexpectedly. The driver should stay alert and intervene when necessary. If the front end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone may be altered causing missed or false vehicle detections. Check with your authorized dealer to have the ACC radar checked for proper coverage and operation. ACC Not Available Several conditions exist which can cause ACC to deactivate or prevent ACC from activating when requested. These conditions include: • The sensor is blocked, refer to Blocked sensor in this section. • Brake temperature is high, refer to Hilly condition usage in this

section.

96

2012 Edge (edg) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)

Driver Controls

• A failure has occurred in the ACC system or related system. Blocked sensor If a message regarding a blocked sensor is displayed, the radar signals from the sensor have been obstructed. The sensor is located behind a fascia cover near the driver side of the lower grille. When the radar signals are obstructed, a vehicle ahead cannot be detected and the ACC will not function. The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message being displayed. Cause The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some way The surface of the radar in the grille is clean but the message remains in the display

Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals

Action Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object causing the obstruction Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is no longer obstructed Do not use ACC in these condition because it may not detect, warn, or respond to potential collisions. Do not use ACC in these condition because it may not detect, warn, or respond to potential collisions. Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise control.

Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals Desert / remote area with no other vehicles and no roadside objects Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning and not be blocked. This can happen, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false blocked condition will either self clear or clear after a key cycle.

POSITIVE RETENTION FLOOR MAT

WARNING: Always use floor mats that are designed to fit the foot well of your vehicle. Only use floor mats that leave the pedal

area unobstructed. Only use floor mats that are firmly secured to retention posts so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways. • Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injury. • Always make sure that the floor mats are properly attached to the retention posts in the carpet that are supplied with your vehicle. Floor mats must be properly secured to both retention posts to ensure mats do not shift out of position. • Never place floor mats or any other covering in the vehicle foot well that cannot be properly secured to prevent them from moving and interfering with the pedals or the ability to control the vehicle. • Never place floor mats or any other covering on top of already installed floor mats. Floor mats should always rest on top of vehicle carpeting surface and not another floor mat or other covering. Additional floor mats or any other covering will reduce the pedal clearance and potentially interfere with pedal operation. • Check attachment of floor mats on a regular basis. Always properly reinstall and secure floor mats that have been removed for cleaning or replacement. • Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the vehicle is moving. Objects that are loose can become trapped under the pedals causing a loss of vehicle control.

WARNING (Continued) • Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or attachment instructions can potentially cause interference with pedal operation causing loss of control of vehicle. • To install floor mats, position the floor mat so that the eyelet is over the retention post and press down to lock in. • To remove the floor mat, reverse the installation procedure.

MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED) The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. To open the liftgate, press the button located in the top of the liftgate pull cup handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the outside handle. • Exercise care when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area. The liftgate could be damaged against a garage door, low ceiling or wall.

• Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass or

liftgate. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components. • Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause

serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.

WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air comes into the vehicle.

Liftgate ajar signal If the liftgate is not fully latched, you will receive a “LIFTGATE AJAR” message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check the liftgate door to ensure it is fully latched. Note: In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim. 106

POWER LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED) You can power open or close the liftgate with the following controls: • Instrument panel control button • Transmitter button • Outside liftgate control button • Control button in the rear cargo area Opening and closing the power liftgate:

WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate area before using the power liftgate control.

WARNING: Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.

The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P (Park). When the liftgate is being power closed, a chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to power close. A single chime indicates a problem with the close request, caused by: • the ignition is in on and the transmission is not in P (Park); • or the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage; • or the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h). If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer. Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection feature. Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could result in damage to the liftgate and/or its power components. Make sure the liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle. Care should be exercised in starting the engine before the liftgate is fully closed (latched). If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the liftgate is 6-10 inches (15–24 cm) from being latched, the liftgate may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the gate is closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, 107

ROOF RACK SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) Loads should never be placed directly on the roof panel. For proper function of the roof rack system, loads must be placed directly on crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. Your vehicle may be equipped with factory-installed crossbars. Ford Genuine Accessory crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended for use with your roof rack system. The vehicle’s roof panel is NOT designed to directly carry a load. The maximum recommended load is 100 lb (45 kg), evenly distributed on the crossbars. Ensure that the load is securely fastened.

WARNING: When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a

low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

When the rail system is loaded, check the tightness of the load before driving and at each fuel stop.

The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a non Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do NOT make MyKey威 compatible with non Ford-approved remote start systems, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey威 functions. Vehicles equipped with traditional keys: When using a non Ford-approved remote start system, the default settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with MyKey威. The following action may help you to retain some MyKey威 functions: 1. Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition cylinder. 2. In addition to the key that you have already programmed as a MyKey威, owners of vehicles equipped with traditional keys may want to program the non Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey威 if the remote start fob is used by the MyKey driver. To program a non Ford-approved remote start system as MyKey威, do the following: 1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors. 2. Remote start the vehicle using a non Ford-approved remote start fob. 3. Follow steps 1-4 in the Create a MyKey威 section. Vehicles equipped with an intelligent access key (push button start) • It is not possible to program any remote start system as MyKey威 on vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start). Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system will stall the engine when you either enter the vehicle or shift the vehicle into gear. Prior to the engine stall, the vehicle will have administrative privileges. When you restart the engine, the vehicle will identify the user as an admin or MyKey威 drive depending on the settings of the actual key used to start the vehicle.

Note: For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey威 system status menus will include the non Ford-approved remote start system as an additional key in the total count. See the Check MyKey威 system status section.

The panic feature operates with the ignition off. If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take ALL integrated keyhead transmitters or intelligent access keys with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the problem.

Intelligent access (if equipped) Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when commanded (either by touching the inside of the driver or front passenger exterior door handle, by activating the exterior power liftgate button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your transmitter battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s door in this situation (refer to Intelligent access key in this chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade). Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access feature at the front doors or at the liftgate. You can activate the intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within range of the front doors or the liftgate.

SECURILOCK姞 PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM SecuriLock威 passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) or intelligent access keys programmed to your vehicle is used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition. The message center will display: STARTING SYSTEM FAULT. Your vehicle comes with two coded integrated keyhead transmitters or intelligent access keys; additional coded transmitters may be purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your spare transmitters to your vehicle or you can program then yourself. Refer to Programming spare integrated keyhead transmitters or Programming spare intelligent access keys for instructions on how to program the coded key. For integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT), the standard SecuriLock威 keys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if desired. Note: The SecuriLock威 passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after turning the ignition off.

Automatic disarming Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle.

Replacement of integrated keyhead transmitters (IKT) or intelligent access keys Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) or two intelligent access keys. 136

The integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) functions as both a programmed ignition key that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed to your vehicle; only four of these eight coded keys can be IKTs with remote entry functionality. The intelligent access key functions as both a programmed key that operates the driver door lock, activates intelligent access with push button start systems as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of four intelligent access keys can be programmed to your vehicle. If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock威 coded keys (IKTs only) are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.

Programming spare integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) keys If you have intelligent access keys, refer to Programming spare intelligent access keys in this section. You can program your own integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLock威 coded keys to your vehicle. This procedure will program both the engine immobilizer key code and the remote entry transmitter portion of the IKT to your vehicle. Note: A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed to your vehicle; only four of these eight can be IKTs with remote entry functionality. Tips: • Only use integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) or standard • You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible.

• If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.
