Ford F-150 Lightning So this is new… IMG_1637

So I was driving through a blizzard on Saturday and the front and rear fenders were encased in an icy slush. I stoped several times along the way to wipe the sensors with a soft damp cloth, but I could not get the adaptive cruise control features to work. Of course, I got all sort of warning that the sensors were offline.
On Sunday I took the truck through a car wash to clean off all debris from the road that had remained on truck after thawing in the garage overnight.
Now, although I can get the adaptive cruise and Blue Cruise to work, my dash indicators have changed. I now have a blue bar in front of my truck icon permanently on -it used only come up when a vehicle was in front of me or I was adjusting the spacing on my adaptive cruise control. See Red circle.
Also, I believe there is an icon missing where the yellow circle is. I think it was a pre-collision or blind side indicator, but I can’t find the logo after scanning all 600+ pages of the manual.
Is there a way I can reset this myself or am I looking at trip to the Dealer’s??? I did try turning off and on all the Driver’s Assist toggles the Synch 4A.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

this is your 'following distance' indicator, which may work even if you have not activated CRUISE... it is 'looking' for vehicles ahead of you...

The blue zone has always shown my 2022 Lariat since I have driver assistance features turned on.

The missing icon, I’m not sure of.

Yes, I should have mentioned that I’m a Calm Screen kinda guy. The normal screen is way too busy for me. It’s not like I’m flying the Enterprise, right?
Here is a shot of the “normal screen”.

I swear this was never this way before this Saturday’s drive in the snow.

It always looked more like this (shot from my 2022 SR Lightning):

You have the new update for the cluster. You can tell the difference by the speed limit sign now left of the speedo.
A couple other things have changed on it too.

This is what the calm screen looks like with route guidance on, blue cruise / lane keeping active on a regular (non-hands-free) road.

I noticed that the following distance level disappears after making adjustments to it in a couple of seconds.

You can turn off this indication in Pre-Collision Assist settings -> Distance Indication

Using Adaptive Cruise Control in a Blizzard?
Well. In my defense, it was an intermittent blizzard. About ten to twenty miles was bad and then 30 or 40 miles of relatively clear weather. So after each mini-blizzard, I would dismount to wipe the sensors.

Thank you, Taxman! This image was very helpful to me as a reference for what I should be seeing.
Much appreciated!

And, yes, Novosilicon was right. I accidentally turned on the Distance Indicator when I was trying to get the sensors back on line.
