How to turn on adaptive cruise on Ford Edge?
Adaptive cruise control is a convenient feature on the Ford Edge that automatically adjusts your vehicle's speed to maintain a safe following distance from the car in front of you. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to turn on this feature.
Enabling Adaptive Cruise Control
To activate adaptive cruise control on your Ford Edge, follow these steps:
- Make sure your Ford Edge is equipped with the adaptive cruise control feature. This is typically an optional add-on that can be purchased with the vehicle.
- Locate the cruise control buttons on your steering wheel. There should be a button or switch that says "ACC" or "Adaptive Cruise".
- Press the ACC or Adaptive Cruise button to turn on the system. You should see the adaptive cruise control indicator light up on your dashboard.
- Set your desired speed by pressing the "+" or "-" buttons on the steering wheel. The Edge will now automatically maintain that speed and adjust it as needed to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
Once enabled, the adaptive cruise control system will use sensors to detect the vehicle in front of you and automatically adjust your speed to maintain a safe following distance. This can help reduce driver fatigue on long highway drives and improve overall safety.
Adjusting the Following Distance
You can also adjust the following distance that the adaptive cruise control system will maintain. Most Ford Edge models allow you to choose from multiple following distance settings, typically ranging from "short" to "long".
- To adjust the following distance, look for a button or switch on your steering wheel that allows you to cycle through the different distance settings.
- Select the distance that feels most comfortable for your driving style and the current road conditions.
Adjusting the following distance can be helpful in certain situations, such as heavy traffic or inclement weather, where you may want the system to maintain a greater following distance.
Disabling Adaptive Cruise Control
To turn off adaptive cruise control, simply press the "Cancel" button on your steering wheel or tap the brake pedal. This will disengage the system and return control of the vehicle's speed to you.
By following these steps, you can easily enable and customize the adaptive cruise control feature on your Ford Edge to make your driving experience more comfortable and safer.
