Ford Super Duty (2018 year). Manual — part 62

Possible Causes and Actions for This Message Displaying:

Action

Cause

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar
or remove the object causing the obstruc-
tion.

The surface of the radar is dirty or
obstructed.

Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is free
from obstruction.

The surface of the radar is clean but the
message remains in the display.

Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead.

Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the
radar signals.

Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead.

Water, snow or ice on the surface of the
road may interfere with the radar signals.

Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise
control.

You are in a desert or remote area with no
other vehicles and no roadside objects.

Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no
actual block. This happens, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert
environments. A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your
vehicle.

Switching to Normal Cruise
Control

WARNING

Normal cruise control will not brake
when your vehicle is approaching
slower vehicles. Always be aware of

which mode you have selected and apply
the brakes when necessary.

You can change from adaptive cruise
control to normal cruise control through
the information display.

E71340

The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you

select normal cruise control. The gap
setting does not display, and the system
does not respond to lead vehicles.
Automatic braking remains active to
maintain set speed.

(If Equipped)

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM

(If

Equipped)

WARNING

The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace
your attention and judgment. You are

still responsible to drive with due care and
attention.

Note: The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking at a
speed above 40 mph (64 km/h).

Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.

The Lane Keeping System automatically
detects and tracks the road lane markings
using a camera mounted behind the
interior review view mirror. The system
notifies you to stay in your lane when the
front camera detects an unintentional lane
change is likely to occur.

Switching the System On and Off

Note: The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey
is detected. If the system detects a MyKey,
it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.

Note: If a MyKey is detected, pressing the
button will not affect the on or off status of
the system. You can only change the mode
and intensity settings.

E173233

Press the button located on the
center console to switch the
system on or off.

System Settings

The system sensitivity and intensity can
be adjusted through the display screen.
See General Information (page 114). The
system remembers the last selection. You
do not need to readjust the setting each
time you turn on your vehicle.

Sensitivity: This setting allows you to
select where in the lane a warning is
provided. Increasing the sensitivity setting
moves the warning zones in closer to your
vehicle.

Note: The alert diagram illustrates general
zone coverage. It does not provide exact
zone parameters.

Intensity: This setting affects the intensity
of the steering wheel vibration. Increasing
the intensity causes a higher rate of haptic
feedback.

System Display

E233874

When you switch on the system, an
overhead graphic of a vehicle with lane
markings appears in the display screen.

Note: The overhead vehicle graphic may
still display if adaptive cruise control is
enabled.

While the system is on, the color of the
lane markings change to indicate the
system status.

Gray: Indicates that the system is
temporarily unable to provide a warning
on the indicated side(s). This may be
because:

•

Your vehicle is under the activation
speed.

•

Your turn indicator is active.

•

Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.

•

The road has no or poor lane markings
in the camera field-of-view.

•

The camera is obscured or unable to
detect the lane markings due to
environmental conditions (significant
sun angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain,
fog), traffic conditions (following a
large vehicle that is blocking or
shadowing the lane), or vehicle
conditions (poor headlamp
illumination).

See Troubleshooting for additional
information.

Green: Indicates that the system is
available or ready to provide a warning on
the indicated side(s).

Red: Indicates that the system is providing
or has just provided a lane keeping alert
warning.

You can temporarily disable the system at
any time by doing the following:
•

Quick braking.

•

Fast acceleration.

•

Using your direction indicator.

•

Evasive steering maneuver.
