Pre-collision warning in McD’s drive thru

[Porpoise Hork]

Since it's happened to several people at McD's, it might possibly be the IR on the brand of security cameras they use is causing a false positive in some way.

Mine operates normally but it seems to be slower to warn than my 2020...almost to where it's well after the event is over and would be too late. On my 2020 there were a few times it went off and I agreed that yes I was maybe cutting it too close. With the 2022 it seems that I'll notice a car stopping short, brake fairly hard and then a second later the red light and beeping goes off.

I believe I remember seeing a setting in there where you can adjust the sensitivity and make it more aggressive.

This is true.

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but I usually have to disable the parking sensors for drive thrus because of the pillars.

I do not understand how the pre-collision warning system works. It decided to go off in the drive thru at McD’s. This is not the first time it has happened. Beeping, warning flashing on the instrument console, dogs and cats living together.

Evidently no one got the dogs and cats living together reference. It must be the wine on the deck that is sharpening my mental awareness. P.S. sorry you are having this problem.

Yea, just don’t cross the plasma streams?

Mine does the same thing randomly at various drive-thru locations.

Mine goes off in drive-thru lines a lot as well, but not all the time. Not sure what makes it decide to be more sensitive certain days.

I think it’s the Ford nanny telling you that you need to make better food choices!

It's warning you not to eat there.

If would definitely disable it then

I do believe I have figured this out. It happened again yesterday. When you are in line, and at a standstill, the car in front of you will eventually move forward. When this happens and I begin to move forward and collision warning goes off.

My theory is that the collision avoidance system does not update the distance between vehicles while sitting still, and when you start to pull forward it “thinks” you are about to hit the car in front of you, the one that has already moved.

My truck has done this in drive-thrus since I've had it, and through all the OTA updates.

I get warnings every time I back into my driveway, thanks to the pillars. You need to keep your eyes open.
