with a sport mode which allows the driver
to reduce normal electronic stability
control system intervention and provide a
more spirited driving experience. To enter
sport mode, toggle the stability control
button twice rapidly. The message appears
in the information display that the system
is now in sport mode.
For vehicles equipped with the selectable
drive mode feature, electronic stability
control sport mode is not available. You
can utilize the performance oriented
electronic stability control mode by
selecting track drive mode. In this mode,
electronic stability control intervention is
reduced and tuned specifically for track
use only and is not for use on public roads.
In all of the selectable drive modes, you
can disable traction control and electronic
stability control with the electronic stability
control switch.
Line Lock (If Equipped)
Line Lock is a feature intended for use at
tracks only and should not be used on
public roadways. Use of this feature will
result in significantly increased rear tire
wear. It is intended to condition the rear
tires to maximize traction prior to track use.
Line Lock maintains brake force at the
front wheels, allowing the rear wheels to
spin with minimal vehicle movement.
This feature is located in the Track Apps
menu. Make selections through the 5-way
information display control and OK button
located on the steering wheel.
Using Line Lock
There are three Line Lock stages: •
Initiated.
• Engaged.
• Off.
Initiating Line Lock
The initiation stage verifies that the vehicle
is ready for Line Lock function, and
confirms driver intent. Follow the prompts
in the information display in to initiate Line
Lock.
The following conditions must be met to
initialize Line Lock:
• The vehicle is on a level surface.
• The engine is running.
• The vehicle is traveling less than 25
mph (40 km/h).
• Selectable Drive Mode is not in wet
mode (if equipped).
• There are no electronic stability control
faults.
If you want to cancel Line Lock once it is
initialized, press the left information
display control. Once initiated, Line Lock
is prepared for activation and will remain
initiated up to 25 mph (40 km/h). If vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h), Line
Lock will be automatically canceled.
Engaging Line Lock
Follow the prompts in the information
display to engage Line Lock after it is
initialized. To engage, firmly apply the
brakes. Then press the OK button. Once
engaged, release the brake pedal. The
front brakes will remain applied and the
rear brakes will release. At this point, the
engagement timer is initiated and shown
on the driver information display.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations
of the system as contained in this
section. Sensing is only an aid for some
(generally large and fixed) objects when
moving on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Certain objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's
parking aid systems, traffic control
systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement
weather, air brakes, and external motors
and fans may also affect the function of
the sensing system; this may include
reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or moving
objects. The system is designed to
provide a warning to assist the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to avoid
damaging your vehicle. The system may
not detect smaller objects, particularly
those close to the ground. Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, may
create false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system ’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms. Note:
The sensing system cannot be turned
off when a MyKey is present. See Principle
of Operation (page 49).
Note: If you attach certain add-on devices
such as a trailer or bike rack, the rear sensing
system may detect that add-on device and
therefore provide warnings. It is suggested
that you disable the rear sensing system
when you attach an add-on device to your
vehicle to prevent these warnings.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system turns on automatically
whenever you switch the ignition on. You can turn the system on or
off by pressing the parking aid
button. If your vehicle does not
have a parking aid button, the system can
be switched off through the information
display menu or from the pop-up message
that appears once you shift the
transmission into reverse (R). See General
Information
(page 81).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display. See
Information Messages
(page 89).
REAR PARKING AID
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As your
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than
12 in
(30 cm) away, the warning sounds
continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object farther than
12 in (30 cm)
from the corners of the
bumper, the tone sounds for only three
seconds. Once the system detects an
object approaching, the warning sounds
again.

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 pedestrians or objects in the
road.
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. Adaptive cruise control does not
detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane. WARNINGS
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. Adaptive cruise control does not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below
6 mph (10 km/h).
Do not use the system in poor
visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.
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. The adaptive cruise controls are on the
steering wheel.

a vehicle detected 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. 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 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.
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.

Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 02-05-2016, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE177069 E144529 E164805 E164805

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 your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph
(20 km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance
from the vehicle in front. You can override
the system by applying the brakes.
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 You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front by pressing the gap control.
Note:
It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions. The selected gap appears in the
information display as shown by the bars
in the image. You can select four gap
settings.

Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 02-05-2016, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE144529

Note:
Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Automatic Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An
audible alarm sounds and the automatic
braking releases if your vehicle drops below
this speed. The system cancels at low
speeds if you switch off electronic stability
control.
Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear position
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 them from overheating.
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 down. The system
functions normally again when the brakes
have cooled down.
Switching the System Off
Press and release
OFF when the system
is in stand by mode or switch off the
ignition.
Note: You erase the set speed when you
switch the system off. 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 vehicle graphic does
not appear in the information display if the
system does not detect a vehicle in front
of you.
