2023 Ford Expedition Owners Manual - Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On and Off

Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On and Off

The cruise controls are on the steering wheel.

Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On

  Press the button to activate the system. When the system activates, the set speed is equal to whichever is greater, the current vehicle speed, or 15 mph when in imperial units or 20 km/h when in metric units. If the speed is too low, or other conditions are not correct for adaptive cruise control activation, the system enters standby mode. When you are below 15 mph when in imperial units or 20 km/h when in metric units, adaptive cruise control does not activate unless you are following another vehicle.

The indicator, current gap setting and set speed appear in the instrument cluster display.

Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off

  Press the button when the system is in standby mode or switch your vehicle off.

Note:   When you switch the system off, the set speed clears.
