The brand&#8217;s Pre-Collision Assist utilizes sensors and cameras to detect vehicles and pedestrians in your vehicle&#8217;s path. If a potential collision is detected, the system provides visual and audible alerts to warn the driver. Additionally, Pre-Collision Assist can automatically apply the brakes if the driver fails to take corrective action, helping to mitigate or avoid accidents altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>[ Read&nbsp; More: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/how-do-fords-precollision-assist-and-auto-high-beams-systems-work\/\">How Does Ford Pre-Collision Assist Work<\/a> ]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Enable or Disable Automatic Emergency Braking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pre-Collision Assist System cannot be disabled, but you can choose to disable the Active Braking feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>From the <strong>Settings<\/strong> menu, select <strong>Driver Assist<\/strong> > <strong>Pre-Collision<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Toggle <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Active Braking<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\"> on or off.<\/span><\/li><li>With Active Braking disabled, the Ford Pre-Collision Assist will notify you when it detects a collision risk, but will not assist in braking to avoid a collision.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Wjzxoi5CV8\" title=\"Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking | Ford How-To | Ford\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Adjust Alert Sensitivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>From the <strong>Settings<\/strong> menu, select <strong>Driver Assist<\/strong> > <strong>Pre-Collision<\/strong> > <strong>Alert Sensitivity<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Choose between <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">High<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">, <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Normal,<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\"> and <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Low<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\"> sensitivity settings.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: High means earlier, more frequent warnings.

Ford recommends keeping Pre-Collision Assist enabled during normal driving conditions to maximize safety benefits. However, if you find yourself in a situation where the system&#8217;s interventions are not desirable or necessary, feel free to disable it temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
