PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, in heavy traffic or, when the
road surface is slippery. This could
result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death. When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to
changing road conditions when using
adaptive cruise control. The system
does not replace attentive driving. Failing
to pay attention to the road may result in
a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control does not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below
6 mph (10 km/h).
Do not use adaptive cruise control
on winding roads, in heavy traffic or
when the road surface is slippery.
This could result in loss of vehicle control,
serious injury or death. Do not use adaptive cruise control
when towing a trailer that has trailer
brakes. The auto-brake component
of the adaptive cruise control system does
not operate the trailer brakes. Using
adaptive cruise control when towing a
trailer that has trailer brakes may result in
the loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system.
Adaptive cruise control does not
detect pedestrians or objects in the
road.
Adaptive cruise control does not
detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane.
Do not use the system in poor
visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.
Do not use the system when entering
or leaving a freeway. WARNINGS
Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended because this can
affect the normal operation of the
system. Failing to do so may result in a loss
of vehicle control, which could result in
serious injury. Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The system is designed to help you
maintain a gap from the vehicle in front of
you. If there is no vehicle in front of you the
system will maintain a set speed. The
system is intended to provide enhanced
operation of your vehicle when following
other vehicles which are in the same lane
and traveling in the same direction. You
can select from one of four gap settings.
The system is based on the use of a radar
sensor which projects a beam directly
forward of your vehicle. The adaptive cruise controls are on the
steering wheel.
Switching the System On
Press and release
ON.
The information display shows
the grey indicator light.
189
Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE197202 E144529
The current gap setting and SET also
display.
Setting a Speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Press and release
SET+. The vehicle
speed is stored in the memory.
3. The information display shows a green
indicator light, current gap setting and
desired set speed.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 5.
A lead vehicle graphic illuminates when
the system detects a vehicle 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 does not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor does
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. 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. Failure to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit a sound when
the adaptive cruise control system is active.
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 illuminates.
When you are following a vehicle and you
switch on your left directional indicator,
adaptive cruise control may provide a
small temporary acceleration to help you
pass.
The vehicle maintains 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.
190
Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE164805 E164805
The vehicle applies 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.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level is insufficient, an audible
warning sounds while the system
continues to brake. The red warning bar
appears on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
Setting the Gap Distance
You can decrease or increase the gap
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you by pressing the gap control.
You can select four gap settings.
Note:
It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions. Gap decrease.
A
Gap increase.
B The selected gap appears in the
information display as shown by the bars
in the graphic. Four gap distance settings
are available.

Disengaging the System
Press the brake pedal or press CNCL. The
last set speed displays in grey but does not
erase.
Overriding the System WARNING
Whenever the driver presses the
accelerator pedal and overrides the
system, the system does not
automatically apply the brakes to maintain
the set distance from any vehicle ahead. Press the accelerator pedal to override the
set speed and gap distance.
When you override the system,
the green indicator light
illuminates and the lead vehicle
graphic does not show in the
information display.
The system resumes operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed decreases to the set speed, or a
slower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
• Press and release
SET+ or SET-. The
set speed changes in approximately
1 mph (2 km/h)
increments.
• Press the accelerator or brake pedal
until you reach the desired speed. Press
and release
SET+.
• Press and hold SET+ or SET-. Release
the control when you reach the desired
speed.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed displays continuously in the
information display when the system is
active. Canceling the Set Speed
Press the brake pedal or press and release
CNCL
. The last set speed displays with a
strikethrough.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Press and release RES. The vehicle returns
to the previously set speed. The set speed
displays continuously in the information
display while the system is active.
Automatic Cancellation
The system does not operate below
12 mph (20 km/h)
. An audible warning
sounds and the automatic braking releases
if the vehicle drops below this speed.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
• The tires lose traction.
• The engine speed is too low.
• You apply the parking brake.
Note: If the engine speed drops too low,
the information display indicates low engine
speed. Shift to a lower gear (manual
transmission only) to avoid automatic
cancellation.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again when the brakes cool.
Select a lower gear during prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, such as
mountainous areas, when the system is
active. In such situations, the system needs
additional engine braking to reduce the
load on the vehicle ’s regular brake system
to prevent the brakes from overheating.

Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE144529
Switching the System Off
Note:
The set speed memory erases when
you switch off the system.
Press and release OFF or turn off the
ignition.
Detection Issues WARNING
On rare occasions, detection issues
can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,
the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if
required. The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
detect a vehicle later than expected in
some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
does not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.
Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
A
With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. The driver should stay
alert and intervene when necessary.
