Cruise control slows down around curves. How to disable?

[moder8tor]

This did not used to do this. Its some sort of predictive feature when a curve is coming up. It makes the truck slow down when approaching a curve. I am constantly fighting this and it is annoying to the the drivers behind me. I have seen it slow down as much as 5 or 6 MPH on gentle curves. I can't see anywhere how do disable this without also disabling speed sign recognition or other features. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Speed adjustment for approaching curves is a selectable option, if I remember right it’s in the cruise control settings.

You can trun off predictive speed assist in driver assistance > cruise control in your touchscreen settings. I don't like it and most people don't like it either from what I have seen in the forums.

I too hate this. Very annoying.
Will look into cruise settings.

Thanks

Thank you and Swajames. I see if I turn this off, it also removes automatic sign recognition. this is why i struggled with it. However there is a tollarance slider associated with it and it got set somehow to 5 MPH. I will try to adjust that to zero and see if it stops this hideous behavior while maintaining sign recognition.

I agree. It did not used to do this for me either. It must of changed itself with a recent OTA maybe? I will change my setting to turn this off. Sometimes I want fast curves!

It will not stop it. That tolerance(sp) is for sign recognition, not curves.

This came with Blue Cruise 1.4 and has nothing at all to do with the Predictive Speed Assist everyone is telling you about. There is no way to turn off the function that slows down for what it feels are sharp curves.

This is what the engineers did as a compromise on curves where they don't trust the hands free to handle it at speed.

You can use Forscan if you still want the predictive speed assist for some reason. The curve control is a lot better than it was in the unofficial 1.4 but still temperamental at best.

thank you. Please please lets get deeper into this. I have forscan used one a year and half ago to check battery SOH. can I make a modification th Cfg_BA_DefaultMode or FCbDM and turn this off? can I select 0 or 4 i.e. legacy?. Please be more specific. I think this will help alot of folks.

Just subtract 1 from whatever you have. You want the same thing without curve control. My 23 was 0 before BC1.4 and 2 after. Changing to 1 would disable the curve control which is what I did when I was running unofficial 1.4 as it still spazzed out in curves even with predictive speed assist off. The official release changed mine back to 2 but Ford seemed to have fixed that issue and it's now only enabled when predictive speed assist is on. I disabled the speed assist due to it picking up highway signs or side streets. Picking up a Hwy 70 sign and thinking that's the speed in a 35mph zone is nobueno.

Awesome. I will investigate in the morning. Thanks!
