Change lane keep to lane centering?

[ZXMustang]

I almost felt the need to make a video, and then I realized who said I do not have lane centering.

It's like discussing with Zig. You have 5 Dollars in your hand and another person who never saw that 5 Dollars tells you that you don't have it.

I know you think you have it but you don’t.

Duh! Duh! Duh!

After checking my owners manual and following the instructions to turn-on lane centering — yep, there it is and it now works in conjunction with adaptive cruise control.

Some people will say you edited the picture because it doesn't excist on the Mustang.

Or they say its a typo

I guess we are talking about different things. I too own several of these cars with both bluecruise and just adaptive cruise. They are not the same thing. The lane centering terminology here is being used loosely. With bluecruise you are actually being centered in the lane actively, not just bouncing from stripe to stripe and yes it will steer you preemptively to keep you from jerking back and forth like some of the dumb systems. My F150 without both adaptive cruise or BC will do this with the lane keep assist. But try taking a real sweeping turn and let the car fully steer which is will for a few seconds, and you will start swaying from side to side.

Now with the BC lane centering (not BC on, just adaptive cruise), the car shows a picture of your steering wheel with your hands on it, and lets you know it will active steer, but you still need to be holding on to the wheel. This is real adaptive cruise/lane centering that the mustang isnt doing.

So finding the words "lane centering" in the manual is correct, but its not what I was referring to and its not the same as the real lane centering action that BC enabled cars do when their adaptive cruise is enabled. Again that's not using BC itself which you only can use on highways and interstates.

And I suggest you block/ignore me as I did with zig. At some point I had to "zag". The amount of misinformation this forum produces is unreal. This thread is no exception. Go drive a real BC enabled car/truck and you will see exactly what I mean.

No we are not, you were just wrong all the time and can't admit it.

The word lane centering was mentioned several times, it's even in the name of this topic and still you are trying to say that we meant different things.

This is from a BE enabled Explorer and this is what Im talking about, which you do not have. The mustang is like dummy lane keep assist and if you let it go, it will start bouncing you from left to right. My F150 does that too. This is not that.

No disrespect to you intended <Understand what your saying, im saying yes my darkhorse does in fact have the feature where it "drives itself if you will" it takes turns in the very center of the lane. Here's the difference i have to touch the wheel every 10 or 15 or 20 seconds im not sure exactly. And if i dont it will shut down self driving or whatever you want to call it. Its annoying but if your on long drive its pretty good. I would call it "bluecruise lite" because it will not self drive without me touching actually have to turn the wheel ever so slightly but it needs to know you touched the steering wheel. Are you in the states? Maybe its different in other countries ?

Mine does not bounce me left to right. Its very creepy actually how accurate it is.

I’m done with this thread and will now IGNORE. I posted the info on LANE-CENTERING from my MUSTANG owners manual thanks to input from GrabThatBlue. I turned it on and can clearly see what it can and cannot do. No, it is not BLUE CRUISE, but most of us have understood all along that our cars do not have BLUE CRUISE.

Look. I understand what youre all saying. And if Im wrong here then I admit to being wrong. But Ive seen and live with both functionalities from both BC and non BC cars and they are not the same. They might be both loosely labeled as "lane centering", but they do not work the same. And if thats not what you were referring to vapid blue, then my apologies. But the functionality I know to be active lane centering from BC enabled vehicles, is not part of the mustang. I have three of them at this point. two 401a's and now a 400a DH. They all have adaptive cruise and do not work the same as my BC enabled 25 ST explorer.

So I will step out now, but just know there is another level higher of what you are all referring to that you dont have without having a bluecruise enabled vehicle which the mustang is not.

I swear im not pulling your leg. My car does in fact "edit this to steer" itself. But you have to turn wheel needs input every so often.

Just for the record, they made me sign something about bluecruise when I purchased my horse. Now im not sure what that was I'd have to go find it, but my car will in fact do what ive wrote here. Call it dog shit bluecruise or whatever but it works exactly like ive stated. Peace

You do not have lane centering. Thats only with the bluecruise cars/trucks. I have an explorer ST and it has bluecruise and its a dream to use the lane centering even with just adaptive cruise, not even full autonomous bluecruise.

If you have lane centering, you will see blue brackets inside the lane marks that match up to your car icon meaning its keeping the car centered, not just lane departure assist where it shows the orange brackets outside the lane marks when you approach the edges of the lanes.

But no the mustangs at any trim level do not have lane centering no matter if you have adaptive cruise or not.

Woooopsss!! Blue brackets. Lane centering!!

Next time don't act so tough and try to stay open for stuff you didn't know.

Canada car. Whomp whomp. My us car doesn’t have it even tho is a 401a and has the copilot 360 assist plus.

But my explorer does tho.

Lol, excuse after excuse.

I'm pretty sure @DT-GT is from the states and also his Mustang. And as you have read, he got it too.
