Driving Aids System Limitations WARNING The collision warning system's brake support can only help reduce the speed at which a collision occurs if the driver applies the vehicle's brakes. The brake pedal must be pressed just like any typical braking situation. 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). Selectable drive modes consists of the following systems: • Electronically power-assisted steering adjusts steering effort and feel based on your selected mode. See Steering (page 163). Electronic stability control and traction control maintain your vehicle control in adverse conditions or high performance driving. See Stability Control (page 143). Electronic throttle control enhances the powertrain response to your inputs. • • Using Selectable Drive Modes Selectable drive modes automatically tailors your vehicle configuration for each mode selected. To change the drive mode setting, toggle the mode E174706 button/switch on the instrument panel under the display. The first press of the mode button/switch illuminates the selected mode, subsequent presses will change the selected mode. Note: Mode changes are not available when the vehicle ignition is off or reverse (R) gear is selected. In gear position drive (D), the available modes are Normal, Sport+, Track and Snow/Wet. In gear position sport (S) Snow/Wet and Normal mode are unavailable. Modes: • Normal - Delivers a balanced combination of comfort and handling. This mode provides an engaging drive experience and a direct connection to the road without sacrificing any of the composure demanded from your vehicle. • Sport+ - Provides a sportier steering feel and throttle response. Sport+ mode is ideal for use during more spirited driving. • • 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. DRIVE CONTROL Selectable Drive Modes Selectable drive modes delivers a driving experience through a suite of sophisticated electronic vehicle systems. These systems optimize steering, handling and powertrain response. This provides a single location to control multiple systems performance settings. 166 Mustang (), enUSA, First Printing
