ktp1598 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Curious if anyone's had to use it.. My '19 Mustang has it and it's worked when someone turned right in front of me while I was on (adaptive) cruise control. He slowed down to turn right and I knew I had plenty of distance but the car didn't think so . My wife's Edge St has it but she's had a few close calls and feels like it should have intervened.

omar302 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Probably you'd know this, but make sure Emergency Braking is turned on in the settings screen. Also there is a sensitivity setting for the collision alert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktp1598 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Will do. I know when you get close my car has an audible warning along with a flashing light on the dash top. My sensitivity is set too high I'm sure. Curious if the edge as some sort of warning light on the dash before emergency braking starts?

It's in your owner's manual under "Driving Aids" : Alert: When active, a flashing visual warning appears and an audible warning tone sounds.

That wasn't Automatic Emergency Braking, that was just regular adaptive cruise control. The alert that you got was just to tell you that you should take control of the brakes. My 2010 MKT does the same thing, and it does not have AEB. AEB is very sudden and very last minute. If you're wife didn't crash, then it wasn't needed and shouldn't have come on. Basically what a human perceives as a "close call" is just a "meh" to the computers. When you really need it, it will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
