Ford Escape: Pre-Collision Assist / How Does Pre-Collision Assist Work.
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
- Alert.
- Brake Support.
- Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a
flashing
visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking:
Automatic emergency braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent.
Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
although the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities.
What Is Pre-Collision Assist
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If
your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system
provides multiple levels of assistance to
help avoid a collision...

How Does Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop and Go Work
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to
a complete stop. Stop and go can also be
set to follow a vehicle directly in front of
you and adjust the set speed, while you are
at a complete stop.
