Lane Centering

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ACC with the lane centering system uses radar and camera sensors to assist in keeping the vehicle within the lane by applying a continuous assistance steering torque input toward the center of the lane. When the system is active in the alert mode and the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane, the system provides an alert by vibrating the steering wheel. In aid mode, the system provides steering assistance by counter steering the vehicle back into the lane. Refer to the Owner's Literature for additional information.
