Driving Aids LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) 269 WARNING: The system is designed to aid the driver. It is not intended to replace the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is still responsible to drive with due care and attention. The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of the lane and alerts and/or aids the driver to stay in the lane through the steering system and instrument cluster display. The system automatically detects and tracks the road lane markings using a camera that is mounted behind the interior rear view mirror. Note: The system needs to be activated by the driver at each key cycle. Note: The system works above 40 mph (64 km/h). Note: The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by the camera. Note: If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the system may not function. Note: When Aid mode is on and the system detects no driver steering activity for a short period after system activation, the system alerts the driver to put their hands on the steering wheel. The system may detect a light touch or grip on the steering wheel as hands-off driving. Switching the System On and Off To turn the system on, the button must be pressed each time the vehicle is started. The system can be turned off by pressing the button again. Note: The system is defaulted to off each time the vehicle is started, unless a MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is detected, the system is defaulted to on and the mode is set to Alert. Note: If a MyKey® is detected, pressing the button will not affect the on/off status of the system. Only the Mode, Sensitivity and Intensity settings can be changed when a MyKey® is present. 2013 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
