Lane Keeping System Operation: Notes

2021 Ford Edge SE, 4WDSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The lane keeping system is turned on and off using the lane keeping system switch located on the center console. The lane keeping system switch is directly connected to the IPMA. The last known on/off setting for the lane keeping system is recalled every time the key is turned on. When a MyKey® is in use, the system defaults the lane keeping alert mode to on and cannot be turned off. When the system is on, it is active only when the vehicle speed is above 64 km/h (40 mph) and at least one lane marking can be detected by the camera. The system can be turned off at any time by pressing the lane keeping system switch. If the lane keeping system switch is pressed when a MyKey® is in use, the IPC message center will display a message informing the driver that the system is on.

The system can be temporarily suppressed at any time by the following:

  • Rapid braking or acceleration
  • Evasive steering maneuver
  • Using the turn signal indicator (only for the side the indicator is on)
