mooseboy Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Is there a way to disable the bell alert when I have the cruise control on? It goes off quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 What is triggering the alert? Is it Adaptive Cruise and Lane Centering and not seeing a line (also should see that in the dash one side goes orange)? I can't think of any other times there are alerts due to cruise being used. You can turn off Lane Centering by pressing the button on the left side of the steering wheel with the steering wheel to turn it off. I turn it off when I use Stop and Go Adaptive Cruise around town, as each intersection I get the alert since the lines are not continuous. I alternated using it and not using it on my last 800 mile round trip drive, and I find that Lane Centering does help a bit with fatigue. About 40 miles of my drive has very spotty lines so I shut it off then as well, and don't always remember to turn it back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseboy Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 You don’t see anything turning colors,just an orange round symbol and a ding. No ryme or reason for it to happen. Obviously is CC related 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 (edited) I use the adaptive cruise control and lane centering quite often. I turn off the lane keeping system when I do this. The lane centering system and lane keeping system are two totally different systems with different responses and alerts. That being said. When I am using the adaptive cruise control with the lane centering system activated, it is not uncommon for me to get an alert when the system loses track of the lanes. There is also a green to orange/ yellow color change letting me know what is going on (left or right lane). Depending on where I am driving and the road conditions this system will constantly alert you to let you know it has lost a reading of the left or right lane. There are so many posts to this thread, so I didn't read very far back but you can use the adaptive cruise control with the lane centering off and lane keeping on. That being said either system will send an alert when it loses track of the lanes. This alert seems to be more frequent when the cruise control is active. I forgot to mention a have a 2024 ST as well. Edited January 3 by STBEAST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 That seems like it would be the Lane Centering and not seeing one or more markings on the road. The "orange round symbol" is the steering wheel icon that shows that Lane Centering is enabled. It turning Orange means it can't sense a line. You can turn it off like I mentioned to see if that stops the ding, but it will not longer steer for you when it can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseboy Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 Thank you much for your help and support. To turn the alarm off what switch would I go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted Friday at 10:12 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:12 PM If you think it is Lane Keeping (probably not, but the icon that changes orange when it alerts is the smaller car at the bottom) press the purple button on the end of the turn signal stalk. If you think it is Lane Centering (most likely, if yours is equipped), then on the left steering wheel control, there is a button with a steering wheel on it. Pressing it to turn it off will make the steering wheel go away in the instrument cluster and will show the vehicle instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidoo Posted yesterday at 03:20 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:20 AM It is definitely the lane centering. I took my Edge on a 1,000 mile roundtrip jaunt over the last 4 days with almost all freeway driving, so I used the cruise for hours at a time. A few times I heard the chime and the steering wheel was orange. Most of the time it was caused by the lane lines not marked clearly, or the sun was reflecting on the road and the camera probably couldn't get a clear image. It just seems like that's what it should do, to let you know to pay attention and seems like a good idea to me. There certainly is no malfunction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseboy Posted yesterday at 02:21 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:21 PM I’m a little confused about the operation of this. So if I have shut off the lane control and use the cruise control then I will not see the orange light and won’t hear the ding? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted yesterday at 03:59 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:59 PM There are multiple driver assist features for the Edge. Adaptive cruise control is used on highways and it will automatically brake / keep a distance to the vehicle in front of you. Lane centering is only able to be activated in conjunction with adaptive cruise control. Lane centering keeps your vehicle in the center of the painted road lines. Lane keep assist is available anytime at speeds above ~35mph. If your vehicle gets close to the painted lane line, the steering wheel will be nudged in the opposite direction to help keep you inside your lane. The 2024 Edge Owner’s Manual describes these driver assist features in detail: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2024_Ford_Edge_Owners_Manual_version_1_om_EN-US.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
