Yep. Though it will work a little bit differently on Lariat w/Lux packages since there are other settings needed for Sync3.
It will work on all trims and on a Lariat with a lux package it will also work in conjunction with intelligent adaptive cruise control, another undocumented feature on these Mavericks. IACC just adds an extra layer to ACC by allowing the for the vehicle to adjust it's speed to the posted speed limit when TSR scans a speed limit sign.
Then it wouldn't work on a 2.0L ecoboost which is not the case.
Not sure what you're saying here, I have yet to see someone install the front radar unit and initiate adaptive cruise control on a 2.0L ecoboost with the vacuum brake booster.
Does a 2.0L ecoboost Lariat come with an electric assist or standard vacuum booster? I really don't know. I also don't see how ACC would need electric brake assist since it works the same as CC except it adjusts speeds based upon sensor detection.
Just curious.
If I understand it correctly, it uses the electronic brake booster to slow the vehicle faster than rolling resistance will, and smoother than the rough activation of something like the Emergency Braking feature (or whatever it's called)
Lariat Lux does which is a moot point because it has ACC. The only reason it's the only Ecoboost to have an electric brake booster is because of the ACC. For stop and go the system has a very hard time regulating brake pressure with a vacuum booster hence the electric assisted booster. From what I understand, without it during stop and go traffic the truck would buck like a first timer driving a manual transmission
Well the question begs is an electric brake booster used on other Fords with ACC like an Escape?
People have tried installing ACC in an escape with the same drivetrain, without an electric brake booster and got the same results. Jerky slow speed braking and pretty much terrible stop and go characteristics. I doubt Ford would add a $1500 part to the lariat lux if it didn't need it for ACC. Bronco Sport models with ACC also have the electric assisted brake booster.
It has been a while, and my memory is not as good as I once imagined it was ... but I read a thread on another Ford vehicle forum, where ACC stop and go was implemented with FORScan, and it was found that the electric booster was required for stop and go to work correctly. Without it, the braking was not modulated properly, IIRC.
If I am wrong on this then I am wrong and that is another part to add to the build. Just show me some solid documentation is all.
It's out there........I've done a ton of research myself to include Fusion, Bronco Sport and Escape forums. Find a bunch of VIN numbers for models with and without ACC and then go to Ford parts diagrams and every single VIN for a model with ACC will spec the $1500 electric brake booster and every single VIN for a model without it will spec the $260 vacuum assisted booster.
I can confirm that "C" works, but did not note any "other chime settings."
In the vehicle settings it gives an extra menu called chimes. It allows you to disable audible sounds on information screens.
