2020 FORD TRANSIT ESP

The system may apply the brakes to slow
your vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed continuously displays in the
information display when the system is
active.
Canceling the Set Speed
Press the button, or tap the
brake pedal.
The last set speed displays with a
strikethrough and the last gap setting
appears but does not erase.
Note: The set speed also cancels if you
press the clutch pedal for an extended
period.
Resuming the Set Speed Press the button.
The vehicle speed returns to the previously
set speed and gap setting. The set speed
continuously shows in the information
display when the system is active.
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Automatic Cancellation
The system does not operate if the vehicle
speed is below 12 mph (20 km/h). A tone
sounds and adaptive braking releases if
the vehicle speed falls below
12 mph
(20 km/h).
Automatic cancellation can also occur
when:
• 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 advises you to shift
to a lower gear. Hilly Condition Usage
Select a lower gear when the system is
active and you are driving downhill on
steep grades, for example in mountainous
areas. The system needs additional engine
braking in these situations to reduce the
load on the brake system to prevent it from
overheating.
Note:
A tone sounds and the system turns
off if it applies brakes for an extended period
of time. This allows the brakes to cool. The
system operates after the brakes cool.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control
Off Press the button.
Note: The set speed erases when you
switch the system off.
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. WARNING:
If the system
malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
The radar has a limited field of view. It does
not detect all vehicles in all situations and
could detect vehicles later that you expect.
The lead vehicle graphic does not display
if the system does not detect a vehicle in
front of you.

responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening,
if required. Failure to take care may result
in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.

based upon your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings and other factors
when the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
40 mph (65 km/h).

1. A temporary warning is issued to advise
you to take a rest. This message only
appears for a short time.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death. WARNING: The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
Large contrasts in
outside lighting can limit sensor
performance. WARNING:

If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.
The system is designed to alert you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure. The system
detects and tracks the road lane markings
using a camera mounted behind the
interior mirror. The system only operates
when the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
37 mph (60 km/h). You
can view the system status in the
information display.
Note: The system works when the camera
can detect at least one lane marking or the
edge of the road.

any of the following conditions:
• The system does not detect at least
one lane marking or the edge of the
road.
• You switch the direction indicator on.

cause false alerts to occur when driving
next to infrastructure or near parked
cars. A false alert may also occur while
making a 90-degree turn or driving
through a roundabout.

greater than
20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is
passing at high speed.

than
8.2 ft (2.5 m) may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with
a width greater than 8.2 ft (2.5 m) may
