    							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. The cruise controls are on the steering
    wheel.
    Switching Cruise Control On
    Press and release 
    ON.
    The indicator appears in the
    instrument cluster.
    Setting the Cruise Speed
    1. Drive to desired speed. 2. Press and release 
    SET+.
    3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
    Note: The indicator will change color.
    Note: Cruise control will disengage if the
    vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
    (16 km/h) below the set speed while driving
    uphill.
    Changing the Set Speed
    • 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.
    • Press and release 
    SET+ or SET-. The
    set speed will change in approximately
    3 mph (5 km/h)
     increments.
    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.
    Canceling the Set Speed
    Press and release 
    CAN or tap the brake
    pedal. You will not erase the set speed.
    Resuming the Set Speed
    Press and release 
    RES.
    Switching Cruise Control Off

    							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 does not
    detect stationary or slow moving
    vehicles below 
    6 mph (10 km/h).
    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
    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. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
    warning or avoidance system.
    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 the system in poor
    visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
    spray or snow.
    Do not use the system when entering
    or leaving a freeway. WARNINGS
    Do not use tire sizes other than those
    recommended because this can
    affect the normal operation of the
    system. Failing 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 be in control of the vehicle
    at all times.
    The system is designed to help you
    maintain a gap from the vehicle in front of
    you. If there is no vehicle in front of you the
    system will maintain a set speed. The
    system is intended to provide enhanced
    operation of your vehicle when following
    other vehicles which are in the same lane
    and traveling in the same direction. You
    can select from one of four gap settings.
    The system is based on the use of a radar
    sensor which projects a beam directly
    forward of your vehicle. The adaptive cruise controls are 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
    display.
    Setting a Speed
    1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
    2. Press and release 
    SET+. The vehicle
    speed is stored in the memory.
    3. The information display shows a green
    indicator light, current gap setting and
    desired set speed.
    4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 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 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:
    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.
    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.

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							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.
    Setting the Gap Distance
    You can decrease or increase the gap
    between your vehicle and the vehicle in
    front of you by pressing the gap control.
    You can select four gap settings.
    Note:
    It is your responsibility to select a gap
    appropriate to the driving conditions. Gap decrease.
    A
    Gap increase.
    B The selected gap appears in the
    information display as shown by the bars

    							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
    Whenever the driver presses the
    accelerator pedal and overrides the
    system, the system does not
    automatically apply the brakes to maintain
    the set distance from any vehicle ahead. Press the accelerator pedal to override the
    set speed and gap distance.
    When you override the system,
    the green indicator light
    illuminates and the lead vehicle
    graphic does not show in the
    information display.
    The system resumes operation when you
    release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
    speed decreases to the set speed, or a
    slower speed if following a slower vehicle.
    Changing the Set Speed
    • Press and release 
    SET+ or SET-. The
    set speed changes in approximately
    1 mph (2 km/h)
     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.
    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 the brake pedal or press and release
    CNCL
    . The last set speed displays with a
    strikethrough.
    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
    displays continuously in the information
    display while the system is active.
    Automatic Cancellation
    The system does not operate below
    12 mph (20 km/h)
    . An audible warning
    sounds and the automatic braking releases
    if the vehicle drops below this speed.
    Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
    • The tires lose traction.
    • The engine speed is too low.
    • You apply the parking brake.
    Note: If the engine speed drops too low,
    the information display indicates low engine
    speed. Shift to a lower gear (manual
    transmission only) to avoid automatic
    cancellation.
    Hilly Condition Usage
    Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
    system shuts down if it is applying brakes
    for an extended period of time. This allows
    the brakes to cool. The system functions
    normally again when the brakes cool.
    Select a lower gear during prolonged
    downhill driving on steep slopes, such as
    mountainous areas, when the system is
    active. In such situations, the system needs
    additional engine braking to reduce the
    load on the vehicle ’s regular brake system
    to prevent the brakes from overheating.

    							Switching the System Off
    Note:
    The set speed memory erases when
    you switch off the system.
    Press and release OFF or turn 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. The driver should stay
    alert and intervene 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.
    See an authorized dealer to have the radar
    checked 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. Blocked Sensor A message appears if something obstructs
    the sensor's radar signals. The sensor is
    located 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 signal. 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.

    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							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 a you
    restart your vehicle.
    Switching to Normal Cruise
    Control
    WARNING
    Normal cruise control does not brake
    for 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.
    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 does not activate.

    							DRIVER ALERT (If Equipped)
    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNING
    The driver alert system is designed
    to aid you. It is not intended to
    replace your attention and judgment.
    You are still responsible to drive with due
    care and attention. Note:
    The system will store the on or off
    setting in the information display menu
    through ignition cycles.
    Note: If enabled in the menu, the system
    will be active at speeds above 
    40 mph
    (64 km/h). When below the activation
    speed, the information display will inform
    the driver that the system is unavailable.
    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: The system may not be available in
    poor weather or other low visibility
    conditions.
    The system automatically monitors your
    driving behavior using various inputs
    including the front camera sensor.
    If the system detects that your driving
    alertness is reduced below a certain
    threshold, the system will alert you using
    a chime and a message in the cluster
    display.
    USING DRIVER ALERT
    Switching the System On and Off
    Switch the system on or off using the
    information display.  See 
    General
    Information (page 96). When activated, the system will monitor
    your alertness level based upon your
    driving behavior in relation to the lane
    markings, and other factors.
    System Warnings
    Note:
    The system will not issue warnings
    below approximately 
    40 mph (64 km/h).
    The warning system has two stages. At
    first, the system issues a temporary
    warning that you need to take a rest. This
    message will only appear for a short time.
    If the system detects further reduction in
    driving alertness, it may issue another
    warning that will remain in the information
    display for a longer time. You can press OK
    on the steering wheel control to clear the
    warning.
    System Display
    When active the system will run
    automatically in the background and only
    issue a warning if required. You can view
    the status at any time using the
    information display.
     See  (page 96).
    The alertness level is shown by six steps
    in a colored bar. The current assessment of your alertness
    is within a typical range.
    196
    Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Driving AidsE131358 E131359 
    ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\  
    						
    							The current assessment of your alertness
    indicates that you should rest as soon as
    safely possible.
    The status bar will travel from left to right
    as the calculated alertness level
    decreases. As the rest icon is approached
    the color turns from green to yellow to red.
    The yellow position indicates the first
    warning is active and the red position
    indicates the second warning is active.
    Note:
    If you have recently received a
    warning; you should consider resting, even
    if the current assessment is within the
    typical range.
    Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the
    road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
    drops below approximately 40 mph
    (64 km/h), the alertness level will change
    to grey for a short time and the information
    display will inform you that the system is
    unavailable.
    Resetting the System
    You can reset the system by either:
    • Switching the ignition off and on.
    • Stopping the vehicle and then opening
    and closing the driver ’s door.
    LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
     (If
    Equipped) WARNINGS
    The system does not relieve you of
    your responsibility to drive with due
    care and attention.
    At all times you are responsible for
    controlling your vehicle, supervising
    the system and intervening if
    required. If the sensor becomes blocked the
    system may not function. WARNINGS
    In cold and severe weather
    conditions the system may not
    function. Rain, snow, spray can all
    limit sensor performance. Large contrasts in lighting can limit
    sensor performance.
    The system will not operate if the
    sensor cannot track the road lane
    markings.
    The vehicle should be taken to an
    authorized dealer for inspection if
    damage occurs in the immediate
    area surrounding the sensor. Note:
    The system works above 
    40 mph
    (64 km/h).
    Note: The system works as long as the
    camera can detect one lane marking.
    Note: The system may not function if the
    camera is blocked or there is damage to the
    windshield.
    Note: When Aid mode is on and the system
    detects no steering activity for a short
    period, the system will alert you to put your
    hands on the steering wheel. The system
    may detect a light grip or touch on the
    steering wheel as hands off driving.
    The system notifies you to stay in your lane
    through the steering system and the
    instrument cluster display when the front
    camera detects an unintentional drift out
    of your lane is likely to occur. The system
    automatically detects and tracks the road
    lane markings using a camera mounted
    behind the interior rear view mirror.
    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.
