    							Auxiliary Camera (If Equipped)
    Note: The auxiliary camera works with
    trailers up to 
    50 ft (15 m) in length. Access the auxiliary camera view
    by pressing the button on the
    display screen when in reverse
    (R).
    The auxiliary camera system is a variant
    of the rear view camera, comprised of a
    camera with a built in amplifier. It is
    designed to display a rear view image from
    the back of a trailer while reversing. The
    auxiliary camera is not meant as an
    alternative to the rear view camera.

    							PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    Cruise control lets you maintain a set
    speed without keeping your foot on the
    accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
    control when your vehicle speed is greater
    than 20 mph (30 km/h).
    USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
    Do not use cruise control on winding
    roads, in heavy traffic or when the
    road surface is slippery. This could
    result in loss of vehicle control, serious
    injury or death. When you are going downhill, your
    vehicle speed may increase above
    the set speed. The system will not
    apply the brakes but a warning displays.
    Failure to follow this warning could result
    in serious personal injury or death. Note:
    Cruise control will disengage if the
    vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
    (16 km/h) below the set speed while driving
    uphill. The cruise controls are on the steering
    wheel. Switching Cruise Control On
    Press and release 
    ON. The indicator appears in the
    information display.
    Setting the Cruise Speed
    1. Drive to desired speed.
    2. Press and release 
    SET+.
    3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
    The indicator changes color in the
    information display.
    Changing the Set Speed
    Note:  If you accelerate by pressing the
    accelerator pedal, the set speed will not
    change.  When you release the accelerator
    pedal, your vehicle returns to the speed that
    you previously set.
    • Press and release SET+ or SET-. When
    you select km/h as the display
    measurement in the information
    display the set speed changes in
    approximately 2 km/h increments.
    When you select mph as the display
    measurement in the information
    display the set speed changes in
    approximately 1 mph increments.
    • Press the accelerator or brake pedal
    until you reach the desired speed. Press
    and release 
    SET+.
    • Press and hold SET+ or SET-. Release
    the control when you reach the desired
    speed.

    USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
    CONTROL
     (If Equipped) WARNINGS
    Always pay close attention to
    changing road conditions when using
    adaptive cruise control. The system
    does not replace attentive driving. Failing
    to pay attention to the road may result in
    a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
    warning or avoidance system.
    Adaptive cruise control does not
    detect stationary or slow moving
    vehicles below 
    6 mph (10 km/h).
    Adaptive cruise control does not
    detect pedestrians or objects in the
    road.
    Adaptive cruise control does not
    detect oncoming vehicles in the
    same lane.
    Do not use adaptive cruise control
    on winding roads, in heavy traffic or
    when the road surface is slippery.
    This could result in loss of vehicle control,
    serious injury or death. Do not use adaptive cruise control
    with a snow plow blade installed. WARNINGS
    Do not use adaptive cruise control
    when towing a trailer that has trailer
    brakes. The auto-brake component
    of the adaptive cruise control system does
    not operate the trailer brakes. Using
    adaptive cruise control when towing a
    trailer that has trailer brakes may result in
    the loss of vehicle control, which could
    result in serious injury. Do not use tire sizes other than those
    recommended because this can
    affect the normal operation of the
    system. Failure to do so may result in a loss
    of vehicle control, which could result in
    serious injury. Note:
    It is your responsibility to stay alert,
    drive safely and control the vehicle at all
    times.
    The system adjusts your speed to maintain
    a proper distance between you and the
    vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
    can select from one of four gap settings. The controls for using your cruise control
    are located on the steering wheel.
    Switching the System On
    Press and release 
    ON.
    The information display shows
    the grey indicator light.

    							The current gap setting and SET also
    shows.
    Setting a Speed
    1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
    2. Press and release 
    SET+. The memory
    stores the vehicle speed.
    3. The information display shows a green
    indicator light, current gap setting and
    the desired set speed.
    4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 5.
    A lead vehicle graphic illuminates if 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, 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 vehicles detected by the radar
    sensor. In some cases there may be
    no warning or a delayed warning. Always
    apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
    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.
    The vehicle maintains a constant distance
    from 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).
    • You set a new gap distance.
    The system applies the brakes to slow the
    vehicle to maintain a safe distance from
    the vehicle in front. The system applies
    only limited maximum braking. Press the
    brake pedal to override the system.

    							If the system predicts that its maximum
    braking level is insufficient, an audible
    warning sounds while the system
    continues to brake. A red warning bar
    appears on the windshield heads-up
    display. Take immediate action to slow or
    stop the vehicle.
    The system may provide slight temporary
    acceleration when you use your driver side
    directional indicator while following a lead
    vehicle, to aid in passing the vehicle.
    Setting the Gap Distance
    Note:
    It is your responsibility to select a gap
    appropriate to the driving conditions. Gap decrease.
    A
    Gap increase.
    B Press the gap control to decrease or
    increase the distance between your vehicle
    and the vehicle in front of you. Bars in the graphic show the selected gap
    distance. You can select between four gap
    settings.
    Note:
    When you select Tow/Haul Mode,
    the gap distance is increased slightly.

    							Each time you start the vehicle, the system
    selects the last chosen gap for the current
    driver.
    Disengaging the System
    Press the brake pedal or press CNCL. The
    last set speed displays in grey but does not
    erase.
    Overriding the System WARNING
    If you override the system by pressing
    the accelerator pedal, it does not
    automatically apply the brakes to
    maintain a gap from any vehicle ahead. When you press the accelerator pedal, you
    override the set speed and gap distance.
    The green indicator illuminates
    when the system engages.
    The system resumes operation
    when you release the accelerator pedal.
    The vehicle speed decreases to the set
    speed, or to a lower speed if following a
    slower vehicle.
    Changing the Set Speed
    • Accelerate or brake to the desired
    speed, then press and release 
    SET+.
    • Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the
    desired set speed shows on the
    information display. The vehicle speed
    gradually changes to the selected
    speed.
    • Press and release 
    SET+ or SET-. The
    set speed changes in approximately
    1 mph (1 km/h)
    .
    • Hold the 
    SET+ or SET- button to
    change the set speed in increments of
    approximately 5 mph or 10 km/h. The system may apply the brakes to slow
    the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
    speed displays continuously in the
    information display while the system is
    active.
    Resuming the Set Speed
    Note:
    Only use resume if you are aware of
    the set speed and intend to return to it.
    Press and release RES. The vehicle returns
    to the previously set speed. The set speed
    shows continuously in the information
    display while the system is active.
    Low Speed Automatic
    Cancellation
    The system does not function at vehicle
    speeds below 
    12.4 mph (20 km/h). An
    audible alarm sounds and the automatic
    braking releases if the vehicle drops below
    this speed.
    Hilly Condition and Trailer Tow
    Usage
    Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
    system shuts down if it applies brakes for
    an extended period of time. This allows the
    brakes to cool. The system functions
    normally again when the brakes have
    cooled.
    Note: When towing with adaptive cruise
    control, turn on Tow/Haul Mode and Diesel
    Engine Brake.
    Select a lower gear when the system is
    active in situations such as prolonged
    downhill driving on steep grades, for
    example in mountainous areas. The
    system needs additional engine braking in
    these situations to reduce the load on the
    vehicle ’s regular brake system to prevent
    it from overheating.

    							Switching the System Off
    Note:
    The set speed memory erases when
    you switch off the system.
    Press and release OFF or switch off the
    ignition.
    Detection Issues WARNING
    On rare occasions, detection issues
    can occur due to the road
    infrastructures, for example bridges,
    tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,
    the system may brake late or
    unexpectedly. At all times, you are
    responsible for controlling your vehicle,
    supervising the system and intervening, if
    required. The radar sensor has a limited field of
    vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
    detect a vehicle later than expected in
    some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
    does not illuminate if the system does not
    detect a vehicle in front of you.
    Detection issues can occur:
    When driving on a different line
    than the vehicle in front.
    A
    With vehicles that edge into your
    lane. The system can only detect
    these vehicles once they move
    fully into your lane.
    B
    There may be issues with the
    detection of vehicles in front
    when driving into and coming out
    of a bend or curve in the road.
    C
    In these cases the system may brake late
    or unexpectedly. Stay alert and take action
    when necessary.

    							If something hits the front end of your
    vehicle or damage occurs, the
    radar-sensing zone may change. This could
    cause missed or false vehicle detections.
    Contact an authorized dealer to have them
    check for proper coverage and operation.
    System Not Available
    Conditions that can cause the system to
    deactivate or prevent the system from
    activating when requested include:
    •
    A blocked sensor.
    • High brake temperature.
    • A failure in the system or a related
    system.
    Note: If you disable electronic stability
    control, adaptive cruise control is not
    available.  See Using Stability Control
    (page 227). Blocked Sensor A message displays if something obstructs
    the radar signals from the sensor. The
    sensor is behind a cover near the driver side
    of the lower grille. The system cannot
    detect a vehicle ahead and does not
    function when something obstructs the
    radar signals. The following table lists
    possible causes and actions for this
    message displaying.
    Action
    Cause
    Clean the grille surface in front of the radar
    or remove the object causing the obstruc-
    tion.
    The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty
    or obstructed in some way.
    Wait a short time. It may take several
    minutes for the radar to detect that it is free
    from obstruction.
    The surface of the radar in the grille is clean
    but the message remains in the display.
    Do not use the system in these conditions
    because it may not detect any vehicles
    ahead.
    Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the
    radar signals.
    Do not use the system in these conditions
    because it may not detect any vehicles
    ahead.
    Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface
    of the road may interfere with the radar
    signals.
    Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise
    control.
    You are in a desert or remote area with no
    other vehicles and no roadside objects.

    Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise Control
     (If Equipped)E183741  
    						
    							Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
    possible to get a blockage warning and not
    have a blockage. This can happen, for
    example, when driving in sparse rural or
    desert environments. A false blocked
    condition either self clears or clears after
    a key cycle.
    Switching to Normal Cruise
    Control
    WARNING
    Normal cruise control will not brake
    when your vehicle is approaching
    slower vehicles. Always be aware of
    which mode you have selected and apply
    the brakes when necessary. You can manually change from adaptive
    cruise control to normal cruise control
    through the information display.  See
    Information Messages (page 128).
    The cruise control indicator light
    replaces the adaptive cruise
    control indicator light if you
    select normal cruise control. The gap
    setting does not display, the system does
    not automatically respond to lead vehicles
    and automatic braking remains active to
    maintain set speed. The system recalls its
    last setting when you start your vehicle.

    							LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (If
    Equipped) WARNING
    The system is designed to aid the
    driver. It is not intended to replace
    your attention and judgment. You are
    still responsible to drive with due care and
    attention. Note:
    The system works as long as the
    camera can detect one lane marking at a
    speed above 
    40 mph (64 km/h).
    Note: The system may not function if the
    camera is blocked or there is damage to the
    windshield.
    The Lane Keeping System automatically
    detects and tracks the road lane markings
    using a camera mounted behind the
    interior review view mirror. The system
    notifies you to stay in your lane when the
    front camera detects an unintentional lane
    change is likely to occur.
    Switching the System On and Off
    Note: The system on or off setting is stored
    until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey
    is detected. If the system detects a MyKey,
    it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.
    Note: If a MyKey is detected, pressing the
    button will not affect the on or off status of
    the system. You can only change the mode
    and intensity settings. Press the button located on the
    center console to switch the
    system on or off. System Settings
    The system sensitivity and intensity can
    be adjusted through the display screen.
    See 
    General Information (page 111).  The
    system remembers the last selection. You
    do not need to readjust the setting each
    time you turn on your vehicle.
    Sensitivity:
     This setting allows you to
    select where in the lane a warning is
    provided. Increasing the sensitivity setting
    moves the warning zones in closer to your
    vehicle. Normal
