You're welcome! I should add a slight asterisk to that.. there are some models that have full stop and go support (will restart your speed after being stopped for a few seconds) and others that will bring you to a stop but require you to restart it be pressing resume. Otherwise, it's the exact same!
Sounds good in theory. In practice, here in Alberta we have these big signs on the highway warning you to remember to slow down to 60 km when passing emergency vehicles with flashing lights. Doing 110 km on the #2 hwy, pass a sign that says that, and suddenly you are slowing down to 60. No flashing lights needed. It's a pain in the butt.
Oh interesting.. I'm surprised that it picks up the sign to slow down if passing vehicles with flashing lights. I always assumed it was primary speed signs only
The lane centering part of this system seems to vary, depending on the ACC system offered. In Mavericks, the system Steve demonstrates is on the Lariat version, but the XLT version won’t center the vehicle, it will only adjust steering to keep you between the lines.
@@CarsWithStevedoes a 2020 ford fusion SEL have adaptive cruise control and does it automatically slow down when you get a certain distance behind a car
So what is the difference between the steering wheel icon and the car icon on the display? They both center you but the steering wheel is aggressive and I'm constantly fighting it to drive where I want but when the car is displayed it just keeps you in the lines should you go over
I cover that around the 1:20 mark of the video.. It's lane centering vs lane keeping. Lane keeping will work if you start to veer into another lane without signalling - where it'll either nudge you back into your lane, vibrate the steering wheel or do both. Lane centering will follow the actual lane, keeping you perfectly balanced, as long as it recognizes the lane markings
Right off the bat thank you for clearing up what others didn't when you mentioned it's the same in Ford vehicles

Nice job, Steve. Very helpful. Love your detailed videos.
Thank you, glad the videos help :) Which Ford are you in?

Good point Dennis, that would have been a good thing to point out in this video. Appreciate you mentioning it here!
Appreciate this! Thank you!

Another awesome tutorial!
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks!
you're welcome!
Is this available on all models of fords?
Available as a factory option in pretty much every Ford model but it's not standard. Which Ford do you have or are you looking at?
@@CarsWithSteve I’m looking at a 2022 ford f250 lariat ultimate package.
The Lariat Ultimate Package would have the Adaptive Cruise system in the F250. Works the same as the demo done here
Hey Steve, the big downfall with this system is ice and snow.
Very true, that ice/snow build up is a pain!
Not the case for a new Transit 250 van.
I'll add that to the list for the next time I'm in a Transit van
There is no On or cancel button
Both of those buttons are on the left pad of the steering wheel that was used for this video... What car are you driving?
