Reactive Cruise Control—- Find

[Hawkpilot10]

Hello,
You all may know this but maybe you don’t. The RR is very sensitive to wanting your touch on the steering wheel while driving. It will tell me to put my hand on the wheel when it actually is. That’s fine with me but that’s not why I am telling you what I did today.
I had the RR set to 60MPH with not one around and let go of the wheel. I eventually got the warning to put hand back on wheel. After ignoring the visual it started to make an audible sound too. So, I let it go further then it started to hit the brakes as to toss me around and wake me up…lol Then after ignoring that it TURNED ON MY 4 way flashers. Next it decoupled from cruise at 60 and brought me down to 5MPH. I then took back the steering wheel and it all disappeared putting the vehicle back to normal.
That was too cool!

Thanks for your time
Have a great RR Day!

Wow you’ve let it go a lot longer than I have! I’ve tried letting go of the wheel (I’ll presume the Ranger’s system functions similar to other Ford systems, I haven’t tried the Ranger yet) & Ford’s lane keep (or whatever it is, it seems there’s different names & such for these systems) really does drive the car. But it’ll give you a yellow warning then I think the road was empty enough to give it a red warning. But I hadn’t tried it beyond that to see what would happen.

Yes, your Ranger was concerned that you were having a medical issue and he was trying to save your life.
