Turning Off Lane Keeping Assist

[Sam55]

Does anyone know how to turn off the lane keeping assist on a 2024 Ranger xlt with the technology pkg? It allows me to adjust the sensitivity but I can seem to turn it off. I don't like it.

From the Owner's Manual:

Switching the Lane Keeping System On and Off

To activate the lane keeping system, press the button on the steering wheel.
To deactivate the lane keeping system, press the button again.
Note: When switching the system on or off a message appears in the instrument cluster display to show the status.
Note: The system stores the on or off setting until manually changed.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

I find it incredibly annoying as well. Everytime I set my adaptive cruise, the Land Keep turns on. Im in the process of messing with Forescan to see if I can disable it completely.

It's on the steering wheel. Took me a couple of days to find it too! I turned it off on the steering wheel about a month ago and it has not turned on again since!

If you try to set the cruise control it will automatically turn lane keep back on. Then you have to hit the button on the steering wheel again to turn it off.

Yeah, it's become muscle memory already to hit cruise and then the lane centering button to disable it.

What doesn't make sense is there is a toggle for lane keep assist under adaptive cruise settings and it is supposed to disable it. I've tried it and it does not.

I believe Ford considers lane keep and lane centering two different things.

Correct. I believe it is lane keep is when you are not using adaptive cruise. Lane centering is when you are using adaptive cruise. The button on the steering wheel is the same for both functions according to the owner's manual entries.

Either way, using the lane centering toggle under adaptive cruise doesn't work. It comes on every time I engage cruise and have to use the steering wheel button to disable it. I'll have to look at the center stack message next time to see what verbiage they use when I disable it.

I think I have a workaround. If you go into Driver Assistance > Lane Keeping System, you can change Mode to Alert. Now when I turn on cruise it no longer actively keeps nudging the wheel. It will just show up in the bottom right corner if you lane drift.

I have played with this and make sure lane centering is turned OFF in the cruise control menu. This is what is currently buggy and causes the truck to feel like the alignment is screwed up and is throwing tons of errors at you to hold the steering wheel. I have not had an issue with cruise since I turned this off and run lane keep all the time.
