OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Following Distance Alert (FDA)
• Always available above 8km/h
Following distance refers to the time gap – measured in seconds – between
the vehicle with Fusion and the vehicle ahead of it. The actual physical
distance between the two will vary based on the speeds of both vehicles;
however, the set gap will remain the same for all set cruise speeds.
The Following Distance Alert (FDA) provides both audible and visual
alerts whenever the time between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
is at least one and a half (1.5) seconds* and getting closer.
Once
the audible alert is given, you should increase the distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead until the audible alert stops.
The FDA is ready to alert you whenever the vehicle is moving above 8km/h.
If the following distance continues to decrease, you will hear more rapid
audible alerts. When the FDA reaches its highest level, a visual indication/
alert will activate.
