USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (If Equipped) WARNING:
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. WARNING:
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. WARNING:
Do not use the system
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
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. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
may not detect stationary or slow
moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h). WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
does not detect pedestrians or objects
in the road. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
does not detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane. WARNING: Adaptive cruise control
is not a crash warning or avoidance
system.
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.
177
Taurus (CPH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201806, First-Printing Cruise Control E265297

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.
Detection issues can occur:
With vehicles that edge into your
lane that can only be detected
once they have moved fully into
your lane.
A
With motorcyclists that may be
detected late, or not at all.
B
With vehicles in front of you
when going into and coming out
of a bend. The detection beam
does not follow sharp curves 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
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 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.
Note:
You cannot see the sensor. It is
behind a fascia panel.
Keep the front of your vehicle free of dirt,
metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors and aftermarket lights may also
block the sensor.
