Hands-Off Warning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the lane keeping aid is active, the SECM continuously monitors the torque sensor in the EPAS system to determine if a hand is on the steering wheel and sends the data to the IPMA. If the IPMA detects that the driver's hands are off the wheel for more than a few seconds, the hands-off warning is generated.

The hands-off warning is generated in 2 levels. The first level is a message center warning only and is triggered after 3 seconds of hands-off driving is detected. The second level warning consists of a message center warning and an audio chime and is generated after 6 seconds of hands-off driving.

NOTE: Due to certain road conditions and the driver's individual grip/touch on the steering wheel, the system may generate a hands-off warning when hand(s) are still on the steering wheel.
