How to turn on blind spot monitor Ford Expedition?
The blind spot monitor in a Ford Expedition is a useful safety feature that helps you detect vehicles in your blind spots while driving. To turn on the blind spot monitor, follow these simple steps.
Enabling the Blind Spot Monitor
- Locate the settings menu on your Ford Expedition's infotainment system.
- Navigate to the "Driver Assistance" or "Safety" settings.
- Look for an option labeled "Blind Spot Monitor" or "Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)".
- Toggle the setting to "On" or "Enabled".
Once the blind spot monitor is enabled, it will automatically activate when you start your vehicle and begin driving.
Understanding the Blind Spot Monitor
The blind spot monitor in the Ford Expedition uses radar sensors located in the rear corners of the vehicle to detect vehicles in your blind spots. When a vehicle is detected, a small indicator light will illuminate in the corresponding side mirror, alerting you to the presence of the vehicle.
The blind spot monitor is designed to work at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It can detect vehicles that are up to 60 feet (18 meters) away, and it will continue to monitor your blind spots as you drive.
Additional Features
In addition to the blind spot monitor, the Ford Expedition also offers other driver assistance features, such as:
- Cross-Traffic Alert: Warns you of approaching vehicles when backing out of a parking spot or driveway.
- Lane-Keeping System: Helps keep your vehicle centered in the lane by providing gentle steering inputs.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set distance from the vehicle in front of you, even in stop-and-go traffic.
These features can be enabled and customized through the infotainment system, providing you with a more confident and safer driving experience in your Ford Expedition.
