OVERRIDING THE SET SPEED
WARNING: If you override thesystem by pressing the acceleratorpedal, it does not automatically applythe brakes to maintain a gap from anyvehicle ahead.
When you press the accelerator pedal, youoverride the set speed and gap distance.
Use the accelerator pedal to intentionallyexceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the greenindicator illuminates and the vehicle icondoes not appear in the instrument clusterdisplay.
The system resumes operation when yourelease the accelerator pedal. The vehiclespeed decreases to the set speed, or alower speed if following a slower vehicle.

CONTROL
WARNING: Normal cruise controlwill not brake when your vehicle isapproaching slower vehicles. Always beaware of which mode you have selectedand apply the brakes when necessary.
1.
Press the button on thetouchscreen.
2.Press Driver Assistance.
3.Press Cruise Control.
4.Press Normal Cruise Control.
The cruise control indicatorreplaces the adaptive cruisecontrol indicator if you selectnormal cruise control. The gap settingdoes not display, and the system does notrespond to lead vehicles. Automaticemergency braking remains active tomaintain set speed. The systemremembers the last setting when you startyour vehicle.
LANE CENTERING
HOW DOES LANE CENTERINGWORK
Adaptive cruise control with lane centeringuses radar and camera sensors to helpkeep your vehicle in the middle of the laneby applying continuous assistance steeringtorque input toward the lane center onhighways.
Note:The adaptive cruise control gapsetting operates normally.

If you drive off-center within the lane, thesystem sets and maintains that preferredlane position. The system providescontinuous assistance steering torqueinput toward the preferred position.
Note:The system can only set preferredlane positions within the lane.
Note:If the system cancels, the preferredposition erases. On the next activation, thesystem provides continuous assistancesteering torque input toward the lane center.
LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the systemwhen towing a trailer. Failure to followthis instruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Do not use the systemif any changes or modifications to thesteering wheel have been made. Anychanges or modifications to the steeringwheel could affect the functionality orperformance of the system. Failure tofollow this instruction could result in theloss of control of your vehicle, personalinjury or death.
Adaptive cruise control precautions applyto lane centering unless stated otherwiseor contradicted by a lane centeringprecaution. See Adaptive Cruise ControlPrecautions (page 236).
LANE CENTERINGREQUIREMENTS
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
The system only activates when all of thefollowing occur:
•You have adaptive cruise control withstop and go on.
•Lane centering assist is enabled in yourcenter display screen. See SwitchingLane Centering On and Off (page245).
•You have your hands on the steeringwheel.
•The system detects both lanemarkings.
Note:If it does not detect valid lanemarkings, the system stays inactive untilvalid markings are available.
LANE CENTERING LIMITATIONS
Adaptive cruise control limitations applyto lane centering unless stated otherwiseor contradicted by a lane centeringlimitation. See Adaptive Cruise ControlLimitations (page 236).
Lane Centering may not correctly operatein any of the following conditions:
•The lane is too narrow or wide.
•The system does not detect at leastone lane marking or when lanes mergeor split.
•Limited steering torque input is applied.
•Areas under construction or newinfrastructure.
•When modifications to the steeringsystem have been made.
•When using a spare tire.
•In high wind conditions.
Note:The driving assistance torque islimited and may not be sufficient for alldriving situations such as driving throughtight curves or driving through curves at highspeeds.

The indicator appears in the instrumentcluster display. When the system is on, thecolor of the indicator changes to indicatethe system status.
You can override the system at any timeby steering your vehicle.
Note:The correct requirements must bemet before you can switch the system on.See Lane Centering Requirements (page244).

LANE CENTERING ALERTS
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects nosteering activity for a period of time, thesystem alerts you to put your hands on thesteering wheel. If you do not react to thewarnings the system cancels and slowsyour vehicle down to idle speeds whilemaintaining steering control. See LaneCentering Automatic Cancellation(page 245).
The system also alerts you if your vehiclecrosses lane markings without detectedsteering activity.
Note:The system could detect a light gripor touch on the steering wheel as hands-offdriving.
LANE CENTERING AUTOMATICCANCELLATION
When an external condition cancels thesystem, for example, no lane markingsavailable, a tone sounds and a messageappears in the instrument cluster display.
If your vehicle starts to slow down, youmust provide steering input to the wheeland press the accelerator pedal to regainfull system performance.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
•The lane becomes too wide or toonarrow.
•The system cannot detect valid lanemarkings.
•Lane markings cross over one another.
Note:The system disables until the nextkey cycle if your vehicle slows down due todriver inactivity twice within a key cycle.
LANE CENTERING MANUALCANCELLATION
When you perform the following actions,adaptive cruise control with lane centeringwill cancel:
245
2023 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202209, DOMAdaptive Cruise ControlE308131 E386797
•The brake pedal is pressed.
•Adaptive cruise control button isswitched off on the steering wheel.
The lane centering system is momentarilysuppressed when either of the followingactions are performed:
•Turn signal indicator is latched ortapped.
•You steer the vehicle out of lane.
LANE CENTERING INDICATORS
Illuminates when you switchlane centering on. The color ofthe indicator changes to indicatethe system status.
Gray status indicates the system is on butin standby mode.
Green status indicates the system isenabled and applying steering assistanceto keep the vehicle in the center of the lane.
Amber status with an audible tone, thatthen changes to gray status, indicates asystem automatic cancellation.
PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST
HOW DOES PREDICTIVE SPEEDASSIST WORK
Predictive Speed Assist works withadaptive cruise control and adjusts thevehicle speed to the road geometry and tothe speed limit detected by the speed signrecognition system. As the systemidentifies curves and highway exits, thevehicle speed temporarily decreases aheadof and during the changing road geometry.When passing new speed signs, the setspeed updates. See Predictive SpeedAssist Precautions (page 247).
There are limitations that affect theaccuracy of the speed sign recognitionsystem and its ability to determine thecurrent speed limit. Predictive speed assistand its ability to determine the currentspeed limit shares these limitations. SeeSpeed Sign Recognition (page 287).
Note:The adaptive cruise control gapsetting operates normally when the featureis enabled.
