Ford F-450 (2022 year). Manual in english — page 16

The electronic torque overlay steering
system adds supplemental steering assist
to the hydraulic gear when needed,
dependent on vehicle conditions such as
vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and
steering wheel torque. The hydraulic
steering system provides the majority of
steering assistance. The electronic torque
overlay enables features such as pro trailer
backup assistance and lane departure
warning.

If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving, your vehicle loses electric
power steering assistance. The steering
system still operates, and you can steer
your vehicle with hydraulic assist. Steering
your vehicle with only hydraulic assist
requires more effort.

Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle. This increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to
the steering system. You do not lose the
ability to steer your vehicle manually.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.

Adaptive Learning

(If Equipped)

The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning helps correct road
irregularities and improves overall handling
and steering feel. It communicates with
the brake system to help operate
advanced stability control and accident
avoidance systems. Whenever the battery
is disconnected or a new battery installed,
you must drive your vehicle a short
distance before the system relearns the
strategy and reactivates all systems.

LOCATING THE HYDRAULIC
POWER STEERING FLUID
RESERVOIR

The hydraulic power steering fluid reservoir
is found in the engine compartment. See

Under Hood Overview

(page 397).

CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC
POWER STEERING FLUID

Check the power steering fluid. See

Scheduled Maintenance

(page 622). If

adding fluid is necessary, use only
MERCON LV ATF.

Check the fluid level when it is at ambient
temperature.

1.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It
should be between the MIN and MAX
range. Do not add fluid if the level is
within this range.

2. If the fluid level is low, add fluid to bring

the fluid level up to between the MIN
and MAX range.

3. Switch the engine on.
4. While the engine idles, turn the steering

wheel left and right several times.

5. Switch the engine off.
6. Recheck the fluid level in the reservoir.

Do not add fluid if the level is between
the MIN and MAX range.

7.

If the fluid is low, add fluid in small
amounts, continuously checking the
level until it is between the MIN and
MAX range. For proper fluid type, See

Capacities and Specifications

(page

467). Be sure to put the cap back on the
reservoir.

HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING
ADAPTIVE STEERING

Note:

The adaptive steering system has

diagnostic checks that continuously monitor
the system. If the system detects a fault, a
message displays in the information display.
If a red warning message displays, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. The
message may clear if the fault is no longer
present. If an adaptive steering system
warning message appears each time you
start your vehicle, have the system checked
as soon as possible.

The adaptive steering system continually
changes the steering ratio with changes to
vehicle speed, optimizing the steering
response in all conditions. The system also
changes when you switch on the
transmission tow/haul feature. When you
select the tow/haul button, the adaptive
steering system reduces vehicle sensitivity
to steering inputs at higher vehicle speeds,
while maintaining the ease of parking and
maneuverability at low speeds.

Note:

The adaptive steering system is

designed with a locking device. With the
lock engaged, the adaptive steering system
remains mechanically locked at a fixed
steering ratio. You may also notice a click
when you switch the vehicle on or after you
switch it off, as the lock disengages or
engages.

Note:

If your vehicle loses electrical power

or detects a fault when you are driving, the
system automatically shuts down and you
retain normal steering function with a fixed
steering ratio. During this time, it is possible
that the steering wheel may not be straight
when the vehicle is driving straight ahead.
In addition, the driver may notice that the
steering wheel angle required to steer the
vehicle may be different.

Note:

During parking maneuvers, the

adaptive steering system balances the driver
workload for various steering wheel inputs
and vehicle loading conditions. Under
extreme operating conditions the system
locking device may engage. This strategy
prevents overheating and permanent
damage to the adaptive steering system.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.

WARNING:

Traffic control systems,

fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.

WARNING:

The parking aid system

can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system.

WARNING:

The system may not

function if the sensor is blocked.

WARNING:

In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.

WARNING:

If damage occurs in the

immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage

leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.

When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.

Note:

Certain add-on devices installed

around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts, for example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.

Note:

Keep the sensors 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:

When using a programmed MyKey

you cannot switch this off. See

MyKey™

(page 77).

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WORK

Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts your
vehicle speed to maintain a selected gap
between you and the vehicle in front of you
in the same lane. The system uses sensors
to maintain the speed and gap. You can
select four different gap settings.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Pay close attention to

changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes.

WARNING:

The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

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:

Do not use the system

with a snow plow blade installed.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.

When Following a Vehicle

WARNING:

When following a

vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Hilly Condition and Trailer Tow
Usage

You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes,
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
it from overheating.
