What Happens When You Don't "Resume Control."

[DanCoon]

Took a brief look on the forums and this doesn't look discussed....

I decided to see what would happen when you don't "resume control" after ignoring the prompts to keep your hands on the steering wheel during cruise control and lane keeping. Here's what happened...

First, you get the notifation to keep your hands on the wheel.
Then, the computer tells you to "resume control."

If you don't touch the steering wheel and activate the torque sensor the car will continue to tell you to "resume control" while turning down your radio / music and simulatiously slowing down the Mach-E.

What's interesting is that the instrument display will revert from the blue semi-circles to the usual green lane centering bars while slowing down and steering the car around curves, etc.

When you step on the accelerator during this time the prompts go away and the car is in regular lane-centering mode until you activate the torque sensor again.

As with other Ford vehicles with Lane Keeping. If you fail to put your hands back on the wheel you will get additional warnings, then the vehicle will slow down and come to a stop. Try it on a marked deserted road!

When I tried it, it did not come to a stop. It slowed to 5mph and kept rolling
