Driving

Operation at Down Slopes Note: If the brakes are applied for a long time, a warning buzzer is sound and system is deactivated. This allows cooling of the brakes. System operates normally again after the brakes are cooled. If you are using the system in manual mode, you should select a lower gear to use the auxiliary brakes instead of the pedal brakes when the system is activated, for example when you are travelling long distances uphill or downhill, such as on mountainsides. If you use are using the system in automatic gear mode, the transmission: shall set the gear automatically. Turning the Adaptive Cruise Control System off Press and release the switch. Note: Set speed is deleted when you turn the system off. Problems of Detection WARNING For example, there may be detection problems due to infrastructures such as bridges, tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases the systemmay brake late or unexpectedly.

Detection issues can occur: A. With vehicles on the edge of your lane that may only be detected once they have moved fully into your lane. B. Motorcycles may be detected late, or not at all. C. With vehicles in front when going into and coming out of a bend. The detection beam shall not follow sharp curves in the road. In these cases the systemmay brake late or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and intervene if necessary. Radar sensing area may change if the front of the vehicle gets damage or if something hits to the front of the vehicle. This may lead to incorrect detection or lack of detection. We recommend you to contact a Ford Authorized Service as soon as possible.
