Ford Explorer: Traffic Sign Recognition (If Equipped) / Principle of Operation

WARNING: The system is designed to aid the driver. It is not intended to replace your attention and judgment. You are still responsible to drive with due care and attention.

WARNING: At all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system may not function if the sensor is blocked.

Note: In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow, spray and large contrasts in lighting can all prevent the sensor from functioning correctly.

Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit not approved by us, the system may not correctly function.

Note: Always fit Ford original parts when replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may reduce system performance.
