Some models may also come equipped
with a sport mode which allows the driver
to reduce normal AdvanceTrac system
intervention and provide a more spirited
driving experience. To enter sport mode,
toggle the stability control button twice
rapidly. The message appears in the
information display that the system is now
in sport mode.
For vehicles equipped with the selectable
drive mode feature, AdvanceTrac sport
mode is not available. You can utilize the
performance oriented AdvanceTrac mode
by selecting track drive mode. In this mode,
AdvanceTrac intervention is reduced and
tuned specifically for track use only and is
not for use on public roads. In all of the
selectable drive modes, you can disable
traction control and AdvanceTrac with the
AdvanceTrac switch.
Line Lock (If Equipped)
Line Lock is a feature intended for use at
tracks only and should not be used on
public roadways. Use of this feature will
result in significantly increased rear tire
wear. It is intended to condition the rear
tires to maximum traction prior to track
use. Line Lock maintains brake force at the
front wheels, allowing the rear wheels to
spin with minimal vehicle movement.
This feature is located in the Track Apps
menu. Make selections through the 5-way
information display control and OK button
located on the steering wheel.
Using Line Lock
There are three Line Lock stages:
• Initiated.
• Engaged.
• Off. Initiating Line Lock
The initiation stage verifies that the vehicle
is ready for Line Lock function, and
confirms driver intent. Follow the prompts
in the information display in to initiate Line
Lock.
The following conditions must be met to
initialize Line Lock:
•
The vehicle is on a level surface.
• The engine is running.
• The vehicle is traveling less than 25
mph (40 km/h).
• Selectable Drive Mode is not in wet
mode (if equipped).
• There are no AdvanceTrac faults.
If you want to cancel Line Lock once it is
initialized, press the left information
display control. Once initiated, Line Lock
is prepared for activation and will remain
initiated up to 25 mph (40 km/h). If vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h), Line
Lock will be automatically canceled.
Engaging Line Lock
Follow the prompts in the information
display to engage Line Lock after it is
initialized. To engage, firmly apply the
brakes. Then press the OK button. Once
engaged, release the brake pedal. The
front brakes will remain applied and the
rear brakes will release. At this point, the
engagement timer is initiated and shown
on the driver information display.
The following conditions must be met to
engage Line Lock:
• The vehicle is on a level surface.
• The engine is running.
• The vehicle is stopped.
• The parking brake is not applied.
• The driver door is closed.
• The transmission is in a forward gear.

The coverage area is up to 6 feet
(1.8 meters) from the rear
bumper. There is decreased
coverage area at the outer
corners of the bumper.
The system detects certain objects while
the transmission is in reverse (R):
• Moving toward a stationary object at
a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
• Not moving, and a moving object is
approaching the rear of your vehicle at
a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
• Moving at a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h)
while another moving object is
approaching the rear of the vehicle at
a speed of less than
3 mph (5 km/h).
The system provides audio warnings only
when the vehicle is moving or when the
vehicle is stationary and the detected
obstacle is fewer than
12 in (30 cm) away
from the bumper.
The system provides obstacle distance
indication through the center stack display
(if equipped). The distance indication will
be present when the transmission is in
reverse (R). •
As the distance to the obstacle
decreases (obstacle becomes closer)
the indicator blocks will illuminate and
move towards the vehicle icon.
• If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks will be grayed
out.
The system can be switched off through
the information display. If a fault is present
in the system, a warning message appears
in the information display and will not
allow you to switch the faulted system on.
REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that
still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage. You may not see objects that are
close to either corner of the bumper
or under the bumper due to the
limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your
reaction time to stop your vehicle.
Use caution when using the rear
video camera and the luggage
compartment is ajar. If the luggage
compartment is ajar, the camera will be
out of position and the video image may
be incorrect. All guidelines are removed
when the luggage compartment is ajar. Use caution when turning camera
features on or off. Make sure your
vehicle is not moving.
The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your
vehicle.
148
Mustang (), enUSA, First Printing Parking AidsE130178

During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle
’s path
and proximity to objects behind your
vehicle. The camera is located on the luggage
compartment door.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you place
the transmission in reverse (R).
The system uses two types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful
when backing into a parking space or
aligning your vehicle with another
object behind you.
• Centerline: Helps align the center of
your vehicle with an object (for
example, a trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R)
and the luggage compartment is ajar, no
rear view camera features will display.
Note: If the image comes on while the
transmission is not in reverse (R), have the
system inspected by an authorized dealer. Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what is being towed behind your vehicle.
This may not provide adequate coverage as
it usually provides in normal operation and
you may not see some objects. In some
vehicles, the guidelines may disappear once
you engage the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly
under the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse
lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a
soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive
cleaner.
• The camera is misaligned due to
damage to the rear of your vehicle.
To access any of the rear view camera
system settings, make the following
selections in the multifunctional display
when the transmission is not in reverse (R):
• Menu > Vehicle > Rear View Camera
• Information display. See General
Information (page 83).
Camera Guidelines
Note: Active guidelines are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: Upon a battery disconnect, the active
guidelines may not be functional until your
vehicle has been driven a short distance and
exceeds a speed of
12 mph (20 km/h).

The coverage area is up to 6
feet (1.8 meters) from the rear
bumper. There is decreased
coverage area at the outer
corners of your bumper.

coverage and the rear sensing system. See
Parking Aid (page 147).
Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full
area behind your vehicle does not
show. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled, only
the centerline is shown.
This feature allows you to get a closer view
of an object behind your vehicle (for
example, a trailer). The zoomed image
keeps the bumper in the image to provide
a reference. The zoom is only active while
the transmission is in reverse (R). When
the transmission shifts out of reverse (R),
the feature automatically turns off and
must be reset when it is used again. Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the
manual zoom is OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of
reverse (R) and into any gear other than
park (P), the camera image remains in the
display until:
•
Your vehicle speed sufficiently
increases.
• You shift your vehicle into park (P).
• You pull the hand brake on vehicles
with a manual transmission.
• 10 seconds of time elapse.
When shifting the transmission out of
reverse (R) and into any gear other than
park (P), the camera image remains in the
display until: your vehicle speed reaches
5 mph (8 km/h). This occurs when the rear
camera delay feature is on or until you
select a radio button.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to
changing road conditions, especially
when using adaptive cruise control.
Adaptive cruise control cannot replace
attentive driving. Failing to follow any of
the warnings below or failing to pay
attention to the road may result in a crash,
serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system.
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect pedestrians or objects in the
roadway.
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane.
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control when entering or leaving a
highway, in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, slippery or unpaved. Do not use in poor visibility,
specifically fog, rain, spray or snow.
Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times. The system adjusts your speed to maintain
a proper distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select from one of four gap settings.
The controls for using your cruise control
are located on the steering wheel.
Switching the System On
Press and release
ON.

there is a vehicle detected in front of
you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is
active, the speedometer may vary slightly
from the set speed displayed in the
information display.
Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of
you, your vehicle will not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor will your
vehicle always decelerate quickly enough
to avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Always apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death. WARNINGS
Adaptive cruise control only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar
sensor. In some cases there may be
no warning or a delayed warning. You
should always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap distance. The
distance setting is adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic will illuminate.
The system may provide slight temporary
acceleration when you use your left turn
signal while following a lead vehicle, to aid
in passing the vehicle.
The vehicle will maintain a constant
distance between the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out
of your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph
(20 km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front. The maximum
braking which the system can apply is
limited. You can override the system by
applying the brakes.
