Lincoln Aviator: Adaptive Cruise Control / Adaptive Cruise Control Limitations - Vehicles With: Adaptive Cruise Control
With Stop and Go
Sensor Limitations
WARNING: On rare occasions,
detection issues can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,
the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if
required.
WARNING: If the system
malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
WARNING: Large contrasts in outside
lighting can limit sensor performance.
WARNING: The system only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
WARNING: The system may not
detect stationary or slow moving vehicles
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING: The system does not
detect pedestrians or objects in the road.
WARNING: The system does not
detect oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
WARNING: The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction.
WARNING: The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in a
false or missed warning.

The camera is mounted on the windshield
behind the interior mirror.

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note: You cannot see the sensor. It is behind
a fascia panel.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of
dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and does not function.
The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a
vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does not
illuminate if the system does not detect a
vehicle in front of you.
Detection issues can occur:

- When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
- With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
- There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front when
driving into and coming out of a
bend or curve in the road.
In these cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone
may change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clear
view of the road by the windshield-mounted
camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
- The camera is blocked.
- There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.
- There are bad weather conditions.
Adaptive cruise control limitations apply to
lane centering unless stated otherwise or
contradicted by a lane centering limitation.
The system may not correctly operate in any
of the following conditions:
Your vehicle is not centered in the lane...
The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On
Press the button to set the
system
in standby mode.
The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display...

Removal
NOTE:
Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
NOTE:
This step is only necessary when installing a new component.
NOTE:
The PMI process must begin with the current SCCM installed. If the current SCCM does not respond to the diagnostic scan tool, the tool may prompt for As-Built Data as part of the repair...
