FORD 2013 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 199)

Each time the vehicle is restarted, the last
chosen gap for the current driver will be
automatically selected.
Disengaging the System
Press the brake pedal or press CNCL. The
last set speed will be displayed with a
strikethrough but will not be erased.
Overriding the System
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding the
system by pressing the accelerator
pedal, the system will not
automatically apply the brakes to maintain
separation from any vehicle ahead.
The set speed and gap distance can be
overridden by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
E144529
When you override the system,
the green indicator light is
illuminated, and the follow
vehicle is not shown in the
information display.
The system will resume operation when
you release the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle speed will decrease to the set
speed, or a lower speed if following a
slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
• Accelerate or brake to the desired
speed, then press and release SET+.
• Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed is shown on the
information display. The vehicle speed
will gradually change to the selected
speed.
• Press and release SET+ or SET-. The
set speed will change in approximately
1 mph (2 km/h) increments.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Resume should only be used if you
are aware of the set speed and intend to
return to it.
Press and release RES. The vehicle will
return to the previously set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Low Speed Automatic
Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An
audible alarm will sound and the
automatic braking will be released if the
vehicle drops below this speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool down. The system will
function normally again when the brakes
have cooled down.
You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations
such as prolonged downhill driving on
steep grades (i.e., driving in mountainous
areas). Additional engine braking is needed
in these situations to reduce the load on
the vehicle’s regular brake system to
prevent them from overheating.
Switching the System Off
Note: The set speed memory is erased
when you switch off the system.
