Ford Fusion: Driving Aids / Lane Keeping System (IF EQUIPPED)

Ford Fusion 2013–2020 Owners Manual / Driving Aids / Lane Keeping System (IF EQUIPPED)

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: Always drive with due care and attention when using and operating the controls and features on your vehicle.

WARNING: In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance.

WARNING: The system will not operate if the sensor cannot track the road lane markings.

WARNING: The sensor may incorrectly track lane markings as other structures or objects. This can result in a false or missed warning.

WARNING: Large contrasts in outside lighting can limit sensor performance.

WARNING: The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked.

Keep the windshield free from obstruction.

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.

Note: The system works above 40 mph (64 km/h).

Note: The system works as long as the camera can detect one lane marking.

Note: When aid mode is on and the system detects no steering activity for a short period, the system alerts you to put your hands on the steering wheel. The system may detect a light grip or touch on the steering wheel as hands off driving.

Note: The system may not function if the camera is blocked, or if the windshield is damaged or dirty.

Ford Fusion. Lane Keeping System (IF EQUIPPED)

When you switch the system on and it detects an unintentional drift out of your lane is likely to occur, the system notifies or assists you to stay in your lane through the steering system and information display. In Alert mode, the system provides a warning by vibrating the steering wheel. In Aid mode, the system provides steering assistance by gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane.

When the system is functioning in the combined Alert and Aid mode, the system first provides steering assistance by gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane, followed by a warning that vibrates the steering wheel if the vehicle is still out of the lane markings.

Switching the System On and Off

Note: The system on or off setting is stored until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey™ is detected. If the system detects a MyKey™, it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.

System Display

Ford Fusion. Lane Keeping System (IF EQUIPPED)

If you switch the system on in alert mode, an overhead graphic of a vehicle with lane markings appears in the information display.

If you switch the system on in aid or alert and aid mode, a separate white icon also appears, or in some vehicles, arrows display with the lane markings.

When you switch the system off, the lane marking graphics do not display.

While the system is on, the color of the lane markings change to indicate the system status.

Gray: Indicates that the system is temporarily unable to provide a warning or intervention on the indicated side. This may be because:

  • Your vehicle is under the activation speed.
  • The direction indicator is active.
  • Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
  • The road has no or poor lane markings in the camera field of view.
  • The camera is obscured or unable to detect the lane markings due to environmental, traffic or vehicle conditions. For example, significant sun angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain or fog, following a large vehicle that is blocking or shadowing the lane, poor headlamp illumination.

See Troubleshooting for additional information.

Green: Indicates that the system is available or ready to provide a warning or intervention, on the indicated side.

Yellow: Indicates that the system is providing or has just provided a lane keeping aid intervention.

Red: Indicates that the system is providing or has just provided a lane keeping alert warning.

The system can be temporarily suppressed at any time by the following:

  • Quick braking.
  • Fast acceleration.
  • Using the direction indicator.
  • Evasive steering maneuver.
  • Driving too close to the lane markings.
