steering wheel FORD BRONCO SPORT 2023 Owner's Guide

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in frontwhen driving into and coming outof a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake lateor unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs, theradar-sensing zone could change. Thiscould result in a missed or false vehicledetection.
Optimal system performance requires aclear view of the road by thewindshield-mounted camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.
Lane Centering Limitations
Adaptive cruise control limitations applyto lane centering unless stated otherwiseor contradicted by a lane centeringlimitation.
Lane Centering may not correctly operatein any of the following conditions:
•Your vehicle is not centered in the lane.
•The lane is too narrow or wide.
•The system does not detect at leastone lane marking or when lanes mergeor split.
•You switch the direction indicator on.
•Limited steering torque input is applied.
•Areas under construction or newinfrastructure.
•When modifications to the steeringsystem have been made.
•When using a spare tire.
Note:The assistance steering torque islimited and may not be sufficient for alldriving situations such as driving throughtight curves or driving through curves at highspeeds.
Note:In exceptional conditions, the systemmay deviate from the center line.

Lane Centering Indicators
Illuminates when you switchlane centering on. The color ofthe indicator changes to indicatethe system status.
Gray indicates the system is on butinactive.
Green indicates the system is active andapplying assistance steering torque inputto keep your vehicle in the center of thelane.
Amber indicates a systemauto-cancellation.

A bracket appears around the set speedand the detected speed limit sign in theinformation display.
System Warnings
If the set speed is increased beyond thespeed limit or speed limit plus a positivetolerance value, the set speed indicatorflashes.
The warning does not occur if:
•You override the set speed using theaccelerator pedal.
•The vehicle speed exceeds the setspeed due to being on a downhill slope.

1.Select Settings.
2.Select Driver Assist.
3.Select Cruise Control.
4.Select Normal.
The cruise control indicatorreplaces the adaptive cruisecontrol indicator if you selectnormal cruise control. The gap settingdoes not display, and the system does notrespond to lead vehicles. Automaticbraking remains active to maintain setspeed. The system remembers the lastsetting when you start your vehicle.

Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of thefollowing occur:
•You have adaptive cruise control withstop-and-go on.
•The vehicle is centered in the lane.
•Your hands are on the steering wheelat all times.
•The system detects both lanemarkings.
Note:If it does not detect valid lanemarkings, the system stays inactive untilvalid markings are available.
You can override the system at any timeby steering your vehicle.
When the system is active and thedirection indicator is switched on, thesystem immediately cancels. The systemremains in standby mode as long as thedirection indicator is engaged. The systemautomatically re-activates once the vehicleis centered in a lane and the directionindicator is switched off.
If you drive off-center within the lane, thesystem sets and maintains that preferredlane position. The system providescontinuous assistance steering torqueinput toward the preferred position.
Note:The system can only set preferredlane positions within the lane.
Note:If the system cancels, the preferredposition erases. On the next activation, thesystem provides continuous assistancesteering torque input toward the lane center.
System Alerts and AutomaticCancellation
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects nosteering activity for a certain period of time,the system alerts you to put your hands onthe steering wheel. If you do not react tothe warnings the system cancels and slowsyour vehicle down to idle speeds whilemaintaining steering control.
The system also alerts you if your vehiclecrosses lane markings without detectedsteering activity.
Note:The system may detect a light gripor touch on the steering wheel as hands-offdriving.
When the system cancels due to anexternal condition, for example, no lanemarkings are available and your hands arenot on the steering wheel, the systemimmediately alerts you to take control ofthe vehicle. If you ignore this alert, thesystem slows the vehicle while maintainingsteering control.
If your vehicle starts to slowdown, you must contribute tothe steering control and pressand release the button to regain fullsystem performance.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
•The lane becomes too wide or toonarrow.
•The system cannot detect valid lanemarkings.
•Lane markings are crossed.
Note:The system disables until the nextkey cycle if your vehicle slows down due todriver inactivity twice within a key cycle.

System Display
When you switch the system on, an imageof lane markings appears in theinformation display.
When you switch the system off, the lanemarking images do not display.
While the system is on, the color of thelane markings change to indicate thesystem status. These colors represent thefollowing:
Gray: Indicates that the system istemporarily unable to provide a warningor intervention on the indicated side. Thismay be because:
•Your vehicle is under the activationspeed.
•The direction indicator is active.
•Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
•The road has no or poor lane markingsin the camera field-of-view.
•The camera is obscured or unable todetect the lane markings due toenvironmental, traffic or vehicleconditions. For example, significant sunangles, shadows, snow, heavy rain orfog, following a large vehicle that isblocking or shadowing the lane or poorheadlamp illumination.

Evasive Steering Assist (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching astationary vehicle or a vehicle traveling inthe same direction as your vehicle, thesystem helps you steer around the vehicle.
The system only activates when all of thefollowing occur:
•The pre-collision assist system detectsa vehicle ahead and starts to applyactive braking.
•You turn the steering wheel in anattempt to steer around the vehicle.

After you turn the steering wheel, thesystem applies additional steering torqueto help you steer around the vehicle. Afteryou pass the vehicle, the system appliessteering torque in the opposite direction toencourage you to steer back into the lane.The system deactivates after you fully passthe vehicle.
Note:The system does not automaticallysteer around a vehicle. If you do not turn thesteering wheel, the system does notactivate.
Note:The system does not activate if thedistance to the vehicle ahead is too smalland you cannot avoid a crash.
Note:The system does not activate forcyclists or pedestrians.
Adjusting the Pre-Collision AssistSettings
Depending on your vehicle options, thepre-collision assist settings can be in thefollowing:
•instrument cluster display. SeeGeneral Information (page 104).
•Touchscreen. See Settings (page 393).
You can adjust the following settings:
•Change alert and distance alertsensitivity to one of three possiblesettings.
•Switch distance indication and alert onor off.
•If required, switch active braking on oroff.
•If required, switch evasive steeringassist on or off.
Note:Active braking and evasive steeringassist turn on every time you switch theignition on.
Note:If you switch active braking off,evasive steering assist turns off.

WHAT IS G.O.A.T. MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has several goes overany-type of terrain (G.O.A.T.) modes thatyou can select for different drivingconditions. Depending on the mode thatyou select, the system adjusts variousvehicle settings.
HOW DOES G.O.A.T. MODE
CONTROL WORK
Each selectable mode changes variouselectronic and mechanical settings withinyour vehicle to tailor its performance anddriving characteristics to on-road oroff-road driving conditions. The systemcan alter steering feel and effort, tractioncontrol, stability control, chassis controls,powertrain response, transmission shiftpoints, four-wheel driveline settings andthe exhaust noise level to apre-determined setting, depending uponthe mode that you select.
Your vehicle reverts to normal mode eachtime you start it.
Note:Your vehicle has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor all systems forproper operation. If a mode is unavailabledue to a system fault, your vehicle defaultsto normal mode and the driveline remainsin the four-wheel drive setting that you lastselected prior to the system fault.
