Standby Mode; Switching The System Off; Automatic Switch Off - Ford Transit Owner's Manual

When the system detects a vehicle in front
of you, the display will show the vehicle
above the horizontal bars.
This is a follow mode. The system will
accelerate or decelerate as necessary to
maintain the set gap. The selected gap will
determine the acceleration behavior of the
system.
Pull switch E to decrease the gap or switch
D to increase the gap. The number of bars
in the information display represents the
set gap.
Note: Use the appropriate gap setting in
accordance with local traffic regulations.
Note: The gap setting is time dependent
and therefore the distance will
automatically adjust with your speed. For
example on a gap setting of four bars, the
time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will mean that
at a speed of 62 mph (100 km/h), the
distance to the vehicle in front of you will
be maintained at 164 feet (50 meters).
Note: If you depress the accelerator briefly,
for example when overtaking another
vehicle, the system will temporarily switch
off. It will turn back on when you release the
accelerator pedal. The information display
will show a message.
Note: The gap setting will remain
unchanged each time you switch the ignition
on.
Note: The recommended gap setting is four
bars.

Standby Mode

Press the brake pedal or pull switch F to
cancel the system. The system will return
to standby mode allowing you full manual
control of your vehicle. The memory will
retain the set speed and gap setting.
Pull switch F again to resume. The system
will resume with the previously set speed
and gap setting if conditions permit.
Note: You will cancel the system if you
move the transmission selector lever to
neutral or depress the clutch or accelerator
pedal for a long period of time.

Switching the System Off

Press switch C.
Note: This will not retain the stored speed.

Automatic Switch Off

The system is dependent on various other
systems, for example anti-lock brake
system and electronic stability assist.
When a safety system has a malfunction
or is reacting to an emergency, the system
will automatically switch off.
You will hear an audible tone and a
message will appear in the information
display. You must then intervene and
adapt your driving and speed to vehicles
in front of you.
Automatic switch off can occur if:
• Your vehicle speed falls below
approximately 17 mph (25 km/h).
• The tires lose traction.
• The brake temperature is too high, for
example when driving on mountainous
or hilly roads.
• The engine speed is too low.
• The radar sensor is covered.
• You apply the parking brake.
