Here you can learn how to use Ford's latest Driver Assistance Systems and enjoy almost self-driving experience. In the video is shown how to activate Adaptive cruise control, Lane detection, Speed limit.
You actually don't have lane centering, you have lane keeping. Lane centering is sort of like autopilot, it ALWAYS drives by itself. Lane keeping only pushes you back if you leave.
awesome thanks. Hey Igor, if you change gears to say a lower gear while cruise control is active, will it stay on or do you have to reset. some cars it stays on even when switching gears
Hi, I have the same car and I have a question. What does that red light at 1:15 above the word "standby" mean? I see it light up on occasion when I'm driving and it drives me nuts because I can't find anything about it in the users manual.
About adaptive cruise control, how does it perform in city? Would the car go full stop if the car in front is also stopping? Say at a red light? Or is the purpose with Ford just and only to decelerate a bit, but not as much as to stop the car completely? I tried with my wife's car, and it doesn't seem to stop, but just decelerate and you have to hit brakes to avoid accident. My VW Passat slows down until full stop. So I wonder about the Fiesta if my wife, not doing that. Thank you.
It would stop completely, however with a too big distance, so driver behind may not understand why you stop so early. Even setting the closest distance doesn't help. Not adopted for city I would say. Had the same issue with Volvo v60 2016 and Lexus ct200 2018,
@@igor2132 Thanks for the reply. But would you need to have the option called "Adaptive Cruise Control" or the "Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go"? What do you get exactly when you just order "Adaptive Cruise Control" (ACC). "...with Stop and Go" wasn't mentioned by the dealer when we were buying the car, but he said it will stop. I remember clearly asking because i wanted to make sure this works just like with my Skoda Octavia back then, which had it. Same as my current Passat has it too. But still wondering about my wife's Fiesta. We went to garage for the first maintenance of the car this week, and still discussed it (i had idea in mind that maybe we can "buy" this option even two years after it's been sold). The dealer was not too clear, mixing Emergency Breaking and automatic slow down until full stop using the ACC.
@@GermainStaquet Phoenix2000 In my case it was manual gearbox, so it would only stop, without go 😁 But yes, in traffic my fiesta was stopping completely, making truck drivers behind angry as there was still 2 meters till the car ahead. I didn't knew which ACC option it was, just a regular titanium... I would do another video, but I don't have this car anymore :) What you mentioned feels like Lexus CT200, it also has no Stop&go and it doesn't work in traffic.
Is this an efficient system? Will it really keep you centered hands free, if so, for how long? I am making my buying decision based on this system :) Cheers
It works, in order that the steering wheel really moves and tries to take you back when you are close to the solid white line. It does not work for dashed line though (at least I never saw it reacting). But I would not rely on it, few times I was already out of line, but no any steering wheel response received...
Thanks Igor, that's helpful information. The best one I saw (and test drove) so far are the VAG version for lane centering. Tried in a Skoda and a Volkswagen as well, worked pretty well.
By pushing acceleration hard, the limit will be ignored. But I agree, the thing might be dangerous in some situations. I was in a situation on the entrance to the highway, I had to quickly gain speed, and because of the activated limit, I could not do it for a few seconds, as a result, other drivers could meet me almost as if standing still.
Thanks for underlining, you mean that lane keeping works with a solid line at the most edge of the road, while lane centering is for those in the middle?
@@igor2132 No problem! No, actually lane centring assist (LCA) does exactly what the names suggests: it keeps the vehicle in the centre of the lane by steering the vehicle. Lane keeping assist (LKA) is a bit different: depending on the model, it will either (1) it will prevent the vehicle from crossing either line by braking on one side of the vehicle, or (2) it will steer the vehicle to prevent it from crossing any line on either side. Both functions work on any lane of the road, but LCA actually steers the vehicle all the time, whereas LKA only steers/brakes when the vehicle is about to cross a line. In Ford's cars, LCA is a represented by a steering wheel between two lines, whereas LKA is the one you showed, a car between two lines. :) Then there is also lane departune warning (LDW) which is just a signal (visual, audio, and/or vibratory) to alert the driver. All that is quite confusing. Thanks for your video by the way, I struggled to find a good video showing Co-Pilot 360.
