Auto-step technology is a feature in many newer Ford vehicles that allows the driver to automatically step on the accelerator and brake as the vehicle is moving. It is a convenient feature for drivers who want to keep their hands free while driving. However, some drivers may find this technology intrusive or may not want it enabled on their vehicle. If this is the case, it is possible to turn off the auto-step feature in a Ford vehicle.
To turn off auto-step technology in a Ford vehicle, the first step is to locate the vehicle’s owner manual. This manual will contain detailed instructions on how to disable the feature. Once the manual has been located, the vehicle must be turned on. Once the engine is running, the driver must then press the “Setup” button on the instrument cluster. This will bring up a menu on the display screen. The driver should then select “Driver Assistance” from the menu.
On the Driver Assistance menu, the driver will find a setting for “Automatic Step.” If this feature is turned on, the driver should select “Off.” This will disable the auto-step feature in the vehicle. If the feature is already disabled, the driver will not be able to make any changes.
Once the auto-step feature has been disabled, the driver should restart the vehicle to ensure that the changes have taken effect. After restarting the vehicle, the driver should then test the feature to make sure it is no longer enabled.
In conclusion, it is possible to turn off the auto-step feature in a Ford vehicle. The driver should begin by locating the owner’s manual, then turning on the engine. The driver should then press the “Setup” button on the instrument cluster and select “Driver Assistance” from the menu. Once in the Driver Assistance menu, the driver should select “Off” to disable the auto-step feature. The driver should then restart the vehicle to ensure the changes have taken effect and test the feature to make sure it is no longer enabled.
