Hilly Condition Usage; Changing The Set Speed; Switching The System Off; Detection Issues - Ford 2015 Fusion Owner's Manual

When you override the system,
the green indicator light
E144529 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

• Accelerate or brake to the desired
speed, then press and release SET+.
• Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
gradually changes to the selected
speed.
• Press and release SET+ or SET-. The
set speed changes in approximately 1
mph (2 km/h) increments.
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.

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.
Low Speed Automatic
Cancellation
The system does not function at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h). An audible alarm
sounds and the automatic braking releases
if your vehicle drops below this speed.

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

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.
