Cruise Control When you are following a vehicle and you switch on your left directional indicator, adaptive cruise control may provide a small temporary acceleration to help you pass. The vehicle maintains a constant distance between the vehicle ahead until: • The vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed. • The vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view. • The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20 km/h). • A new gap distance is set. The vehicle applies brakes to slow the vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The maximum braking which the system can apply is limited. You can override the system by applying the brakes. If the system predicts that its maximum braking level is insufficient, an audible warning sounds while the system continues to brake. The red warning bar appears on the windshield. You should take immediate action. E164805 5. A lead vehicle graphic illuminates when the system detects a vehicle in front of you. Note: When adaptive cruise control is active, the speedometer may vary slightly from the set speed displayed in the information display. Following a Vehicle WARNINGS When following a vehicle in front of you, your vehicle does not decelerate automatically to a stop, nor does your vehicle always decelerate quickly enough to avoid a crash without driver intervention. Always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of radar-sensor-detected vehicles. In some cases there may be no warning or a delayed warning. You should always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note: The brakes may emit a sound when the adaptive cruise control system is active. When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain a preset gap distance. The distance setting is adjustable. The lead vehicle graphic illuminates. Setting the Gap Distance Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving conditions. 189 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7), enUSA
