FORD 2013 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 241)

Due to the nature of radar technology, there may be certain instances
where vehicles do not provide a collision warning. These include:
•
Stationary vehicles or vehicles moving below 6 mph (10 km/h).
•
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
•
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
•
Severe weather conditions (see blocked sensor section).
•
Debris build-up on the grille near the headlamps (see blocked sensor
section).
•
Small distance to vehicle ahead.
•
Steering wheel and pedal movements are large (very active driving
style).
•
High interior temperatures, which may deactivate the illumination or
the warning lamps until the interior temperature reduces (audible
warning still sounds).
Certain conditions may reduce the visibility of the warning lamp;
therefore, it is recommended to keep the audible warning on.
If the front end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone
may be altered causing missed or false collision warnings. See your
authorized dealer to have your collision warning radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.
