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 could increase above the set speed. The system does not apply the brakes. Note: Cruise control disengages if the vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph (16 km/h) below the set speed when driving uphill. The cruise controls are on the steering wheel. Switching Cruise Control On Press ON. The indicator appears in the information display. Setting the Cruise Speed 1. Drive to desired speed. 2. Press SET+ or SET-. 3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Note: The indicator changes color. 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 SET+ or SET- to change the set speed in small increments. • Press the accelerator or brake pedal until you reach the desired speed. Press SET+ or SET-. • Press and hold SET+ or SET-. Release the control when you reach the desired speed. Canceling the Set Speed Press CNCL or tap the brake pedal. The set speed does not erase. Resuming the Set Speed Press RES. Switching Cruise Control Off Note: You erase the set speed when you switch the system off. Press OFF when the system is in standby mode, or switch the ignition off. 239 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)E191329 E71340
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. Do not use the adaptive cruise control when entering or leaving a highway, on roads with intersections or roundabouts or non-vehicular traffic or roads that are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep slopes. Do not use the system in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain, spray or snow. Do not use the system when towing a trailer with aftermarket trailer brake controls. Aftermarket trailer brakes will not function properly when you switch the system on because the brakes are electronically controlled. Failing to do so may result in 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. Adaptive cruise control may 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. WARNINGS Adaptive cruise control is not a crash warning or avoidance system. Do not use adaptive cruise control with a snow plow blade installed. Note: It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times. The system adjusts your vehicle speed to maintain the set gap between you and the vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You can select four gap settings. The system uses a radar sensor that projects a beam directly in front of your vehicle. The adaptive cruise controls are on the steering wheel. Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On Press ON. The indicator, current gap setting and set speed appear in the information display. 240 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)E183737 E144529
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed Note: When adaptive cruise control is active, the speedometer may vary slightly from the set speed displayed in the information display. 1. Drive to desired speed. 2. Press SET+ or SET-. 3. A green indicator light, the current gap setting and your set speed appear in the information display. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 5. A vehicle image illuminates if the system detects a vehicle in front of you. 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. You should always apply the brakes when necessary. Failure to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note: When you are following a vehicle and you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive cruise control may provide a small temporary acceleration to help you pass. Note: The brakes may emit noise when applied by the system. 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. A vehicle graphic illuminates in the instrument cluster. Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap 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 the lane you are in. • You set a new gap distance. The system applies the brakes to slow your vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from the vehicle in front. The system only applies limited braking. You can override the system by applying the brakes. 241 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)E233874 E233874
If the system determines that its maximum braking level will not be sufficient, an audible warning sounds when the system continues to brake. A red warning bar displays on the windshield and you must take immediate action. Setting the Gap Distance Note: The gap setting is time dependent and therefore the distance adjusts with your vehicle speed. Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving conditions. You can decrease or increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front by pressing the gap control. Gap decrease. A Gap increase. B The selected gap appears in the information display as shown by the bars in the image. Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Settings Dynamic behavior Graphic display, bars indicated between vehicles Sport. 1 Normal. 2 Normal. 3 Comfort. 4 Each time you switch the system on, it selects the last chosen gap setting. Overriding the Set Speed 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. When you override the system, the green indicator light illuminates and the vehicle image does not appear in the information display. The system resumes operation when you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed decreases to the set speed, or a lower speed if following a slower vehicle. 242 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)E183739 E233874 E144529
Changing the Set Speed • Press SET+ or SET- to change the set speed in small increments. • Press the accelerator or brake pedal until you reach the desired speed. Press SET+ or SET-. • Press and hold SET+ or SET- to change the set speed in large increments. Release the control when you reach the desired speed. The system may apply the brakes to slow the vehicle to the new set speed. The set speed displays continuously in the information display when the system is active. Canceling the Set Speed Press CNCL or tap the brake pedal. The set speed does not erase. Resuming the Set Speed Note: Only use resume if you are aware of the set speed and intend to return to it. Press RES. Your vehicle speed returns to the previously set speed and gap setting. The set speed displays continuously in the information display when the system is active. Automatic Cancellation Note: If the engine speed drops too low, an audible warning sounds and a message appears in the information display. Automatic braking releases. 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 after the brakes cool. Note: When towing with adaptive cruise control, switch 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 Adaptive Cruise Control Off Note: You erase the set speed and gap setting when you switch the system off. Press OFF when the system is in standby mode, or switch the ignition off. Detection Issues WARNINGS 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. If the system malfunctions, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. The radar sensor has a limited field of view. 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. 243 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)
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. You should 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 detection. System Not Available Note: If you disable electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control is not available. The system may not turn on if there is: • A blocked sensor. • High brake temperature. • A failure in the system or a related system. Blocked Sensor Note: You cannot see the sensor. It is behind a fascia panel. A message displays if something obstructs the radar signals from the sensor. The sensor is in the lower grille. The system cannot detect a vehicle ahead and does not function when something blocks the sensor. 244 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)E71621 E183741
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 is dirty or obstructed. 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 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. Water, 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. Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual block. This happens, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicle. 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 change from adaptive cruise control to normal cruise control through the information display. The cruise control indicator light replaces the adaptive cruise control indicator light if you select normal cruise control. The gap setting does not display, and the system does not respond to lead vehicles. Automatic braking remains active to maintain set speed. 245 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Cruise Control (If Equipped)E71340
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 110). 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 A Increased B Note: The alert diagram illustrates general zone coverage. It does not provide exact zone parameters. Intensity: This setting affects the intensity of the steering wheel vibration. Increasing the intensity causes a higher rate of haptic feedback. • High • Normal • Low 246 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Driving AidsE173233 E165517
System Display When you switch on the system, an overhead graphic of a vehicle with lane markings appears in the display screen. Note: The overhead vehicle graphic may still display if adaptive cruise control is enabled. While the system is on, the color of the lane markings change to indicate the system status. Gray: Indicates that the system is temporarily unable to provide a warning on the indicated side(s). This may be because: • Your vehicle is under the activation speed. • Your turn indicator is active. • Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver. • The road has no or poor lane markings in the camera field-of-view. • The camera is obscured or unable to detect the lane markings due to environmental conditions (significant sun angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain, fog), traffic conditions (following a large vehicle that is blocking or shadowing the lane), or vehicle conditions (poor headlamp illumination). See Troubleshooting for additional information. Green : Indicates that the system is available or ready to provide a warning on the indicated side(s). Red : Indicates that the system is providing or has just provided a lane keeping alert warning. You can temporarily disable the system at any time by doing the following: • Quick braking. • Fast acceleration. • Using your direction indicator. • Evasive steering maneuver. Troubleshooting Why is the feature not available (line markings are gray) when I can see the lane markings on the road? Vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature Sun is shining directly into the camera lens Quick intentional lane change Staying too close to the lane marking Driving at high speeds in curves 247 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201702, Third Printing Driving AidsE233874
