Lincoln Aviator: Cruise Control / Description and Operation - Cruise Control - Overview

Overview

The ACC system is controlled by the PCM, CCM and the IPMA.

The ACC modes are selected from the steering wheel mounted switches.

The gap control setting is selected from the lower right steering wheel switch.

ACC gap feature uses radar and camera sensors to adjust vehicle speed to maintain the set gap between the two vehicles in the same lane. Refer to the Owner's Manual for additional information.

The ACC system maintains a selected vehicle speed between 30 kmh (18 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. When a MyKey® restricted key is in use and maxium speed limiter is turned on, vehicle speed is limited to 129 kmh (80 mph).

ACC with stop and go technology allows the vehicle to follow a lead vehicle to a stop. An indicator in the message center indicates the vehicle is in the stopped mode. If the lead vehicle moves from a stop within 3 seconds, the vehicle automatically resumes to the set speed. If the lead vehicle remains stopped for more than 3 seconds, the system resumes when the RESUME switch on the steering wheel is pressed or the operator taps the accelerator pedal.

Intelligent ACC modifies the set speed based on the observed speed limit. When this mode is selected, a bracket appears around the set speed and the detected speed limit sign in the information display. The system is designed to set the vehicle speed to the speed limit detected by the traffic sign recognition system before the vehicle passes the speed limit sign. Refer to the Owner's Manual for additional information.

ACC with lane centering uses radar and camera sensors to keep the vehicle in the lane by applying continuous assistance steering torque input toward the lane centering on highways. Refer to the Owner's Manual for additional information.
