Cruise Control - Adaptive

2012 Ford Edge FWD V6-3.5LSECTION Cruise Control - Adaptive



Cruise Control - Adaptive

The adaptive cruise control system consists of the following components:

- Adaptive cruise control indicators and graphics (located in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC))

- Cruise control switches (part of the LH steering wheel controls)

- Cruise control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch)

- ABS module

- Body Control Module (BCM)

- Clockspring

- Cruise-Control Module (C-CM) (located behind the front bumper cover)

- PCM

- Radar sensor unit (part of the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module))

- Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) (located on the steering column)

- Stoplamp switch

- Head Up Display (HUD) module (located in the instrument panel upper section)

The adaptive cruise control system is similar to the standard cruise control system. The adaptive cruise control system maintains a road speed selected by the driver from the steering wheel switches and displays that speed in the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) message center.

The vehicle maintains the selected speed until another slower vehicle is detected ahead in the same lane by the radar sensor unit. The vehicle speed is adjusted automatically to maintain a preset distance gap. The vehicle maintains the distance gap and the brakes automatically apply to slow the vehicle to maintain the gap to the vehicle ahead.

When a MyKey(TM) restricted key is in use vehicle speed is limited to 130 km/h (80 mph).
