FORD 2015 Explorer - Manual (Page 244)

To help you to pass, the system may provide a small, temporary
acceleration when you switch on the left turn signal while following a
lead vehicle.
If the system predicts that its maximum braking level will not be
sufficient, an audible warning will sound while the system continues to
brake. This is accompanied by a heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You should take immediate action.
Setting the Gap Distance
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving
conditions.
You can decrease or increase the
distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you by
pressing the GAP control up or
down. The selected gap will display
in the information display as shown by the bars in the graphic. Four gap
distance settings are available.
