Got a picture of the “ take a rest “

If I let my lane assist work on its on, with me lightly assisting it. I’ll get that message in less than 2 to 5 miles. It likes to shoot me from one lane to another as it’s assist me in the lanes. I’ve crossed lines and it stayed green more than turns yellow or red. Then it’ll turn yellow or red before I get close to, or cross the line. The ford dealer was so nice and put over 100 miles making videos to prove it works as designed. My CR-V worked light night and day over this system, I’m very disappointed, especially since I made it very clear I wanted the same level of lane assist my Honda had.

no I wish It was boring. its like living in a "mad max" film around here. everyone does 90 the the turnpike has a exit /entrance every half mile .its got turns that flip tracker trailers and everyone signal lights are broken. I kid you not.on all of above!!

Ahh, okay. Must be sensing some of the erratic behavior and think you're in and out of sleep or something. Interesting. I've never had it pop up is why I was wondering.

I don't envy you guys with those types of drives at all. One of the main reasons I don't live in places like that. Though I guess that reason is under the all encompassing "I hate people" umbrella, which rules most of my decisions. haha

I decided to test the lane assist on a country road. Set the cruise at 50 and then took my hands off the wheel and left it all up to Jesus and Ford. After three consecutive lane corrections it came out of cruise and gently steered to the right shoulder and an alert came on to put my hands back on the wheel.

Inspired by this video.


So... who's going to get a picture of the "imminent collision" notice? Hahah.

Very I’m disappointed after watching a nice video from Ford on YouTube about how it works that Ford sent me when I bought the truck. Then right after that was a video of an F-150 doing exactly like I asked if the Ranger would do. All I get is the other vehicles we sell do that. Except for the light blinking on the mirror when a car is in range of the warning system and I put the blinker on, and there’s no sound like every other brand vehicle I’ve had that warning system on. That one was “none of Ford vehicles do that”. The best one was the argument with another dealers salesman tells me the collision system won’t stop the vehicle without my intervention, I quote “there is not a vehicle built today that will stop the vehicle on it’s on without you pressing the brakes” it’s only a prechargIng system on the brakes for you to stop quicker. Needless to say I didn’t buy from that dealer. .

You should post the distance it took to get that warning. It would be interesting to see how long it takes to get the warning to come on.

All these things on the Fords are assists only. This isn't Tesla style Autopilot where you can set the cruise control and take a 50 mile nap. The steering is too loose to keep the truck in the middle of the lane.

The lane detection is only enough to keep you from becoming a hood ornament on a Peterbuilt or wrapped around a telephone pole. The impact warning is there, I've seen it - mostly when I'm accelerating to hit my "passing window" and then pull out at the last minute and miss the car ahead of me.

It came up after I went from center lane to right lane only to find a car coming fast in right lane cutting back into the center then again into right lane as my exit was coming up fast.

Maybe it looks for jerky movements to determine you must be drunk, high, or exhausted...and errors on the side of tired? ???

I got the same warning. Lane assist was off, thought it was an error. Deleted it. Have not seen it again.

I have wondered if the Ranger gets confused by lane changes when you do not use your turn signal. I have the full "lane assist" activated so I always use my turn signal. It seems to keep the truck from trying to stay in the current lane. Just a theory...

I tried to fake my Ranger out by pretending to nod off. It did no fall for it.
