Does the Ford Mondeo have Adaptive Cruise Control?
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been offered on Ford Mondeo models, typically as part of optional driver-assistance packages. Availability depends on model year and market. The Mondeo lineup was discontinued in Europe after the 2022 model year, so new cars are no longer offered; however, used Mondeo examples may still feature ACC if equipped.
In practice, ACC on the Mondeo is tied to Ford’s driver-assist suites (often branded as Co-Pilot 360 or Driver Assist). It usually works with stop-and-go traffic and can be paired with other features such as Lane Keeping Assist, though exact capabilities vary by trim, market, and firmware.
Where ACC appeared in Mondeo models
The following overview explains typical ACC availability and what the option packages included across recent Mondeo versions.
What the feature typically includes
Typical ACC packages include the following capabilities:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, maintaining a set distance from the vehicle ahead and resuming automatically when traffic allows (in many markets).
- Distance settings to tailor following distance (e.g., short, medium, or long); different markets use different scales.
- Radar-based sensing, sometimes combined with camera inputs, integrated with other driver aids.
- Often bundled with Lane Keeping Assist or Lane Centering as part of a larger driver-assist suite (Co-Pilot 360).
Availability varies by market and trim; ACC tends to appear on higher-spec Mondeo variants and may be offered only with optional packages rather than as standard equipment.
How to verify ACC on a specific Mondeo
Use these steps to confirm whether a particular Mondeo is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control and related aids.
- Check the steering-wheel controls for a button labeled "ACC" or "Adaptive Cruise" and a distance setting control.
- Look for an ACC or Distance indicator on the instrument cluster or digital display.
- Navigate the center touchscreen to the Driver Assist/Co-Pilot 360 section to see if ACC or Stop & Go is listed.
- Review the exterior and interior build sheet, window sticker, or the vehicle's VIN-based specification for "Driver Assist," "Co-Pilot 360," or "Adaptive Cruise Control."
- Ask a Ford dealer to confirm ACC availability for the exact model year and market using the VIN.
Note that even if ACC is present, some functions (like Stop & Go) may depend on firmware version and regional regulations; verify with the dealer.
Summary
Adaptive Cruise Control has been a feature in newer Ford Mondeo models as part of optional driver-assist packages, particularly on the Mk4 generation and later. Because the Mondeo was discontinued in Europe after 2022, buyers should verify ACC on any specific used vehicle and confirm the exact package and firmware for the year and market. For buyers, ACC can be a marker of higher trim levels and newer technology within the Mondeo lineup.
