Ok.. I don’t notice any light alert on the side mirrors.

It's there ................... I love it. Keeps me from hitting my ex wife on her broom. She likes to fly low by my left rear wheel. Wheels are to damn expensive to replace. Plus, I don't want the blood splatter issue.

I've been trying to get something simple to work. I leave the turn signal on and I never get a chime or alert after miles to turn it off. I've done it just to see what is supposed to happen lol

Aren't those lights wouldn't you want to disable those?

I just bought a 2020 Mustang EB Premium with this set of features. I also currently have a 2018 Ford Fusion which has similar features. On the Fusion I have adaptive cruise control with "Stop & Go" which if you don't know what that means, the car will come all the way to a stop in heavy traffic and resume (if not past a few secs) on it's own and just keep following the car ahead with very little input from the driver. This works especially well when driving in bumper to bumper traffic. So when I was looking at the Mustang I made sure to get Adaptive Cruise control. However once taking delivery on my drive home from the dealer I set the cruise at 70 mph, and it was doing just fine, slowing down and speeding up according to traffic. Well at one point the cars ahead slowed down to around 5mph. In my Fusion this is no problem because the car will handle it all. What I found out is the Mustang only goes to 11 mph and then the cruise control shuts off. I thought the car was going to do the same thing is my 2 year older Fusion but instead the pre-collision red lights beeped and I slammed my foot on the brake. Then I thought maybe it was something weird and so while we were going slow (5-10mph) I tried to resume the cruise only to find it won't even activate until you're over a certain speed (I think 20mph). My Fusion I can be going 1 mph in traffic and resume the cruise and the car will just follow slowly.
I'm a little disappointed that Ford would put older tech on a brand new model. I had a 2013 Ford Flex and that had adaptive cruise and it was the same as the Mustang (under 11mph shuts off and can't enable below 20mph).

+1 One of Ford’s dumber packaging options. Fortunately fixed for 2021 with CoPilot 360.

Bikeman, my 20 401a has smar/safe and I read somewhere it was the same as the 21. Is there a difference and if so what are they?

Yes, Safe and Smart for 21’ includes ACC and Nav. ACC was part of S&S for 20 and Nav was a stand alone option. CoPilot 360 is standard on all Mustang’s for 21’ and includes the remaining features of last years S&S package. Just FYI, the Mach 1 doesn’t have ACC as an option so Nav is still a stand alone.

Awww maybe it’s the same for mine. I ordered my 2020 car fully loaded. I knew for 21 it was standard and an option for 20. I did 401a with S&S. Was going to cancel and wait for 21 but was told with my options no difference other than it was standard on the 21’s and 1000.00 option for me. It would have been a wash since PP1 option for 21 got a hike.

I knew this going into my car, but wasn't really very happy about it. The other thing I don't like about the active cruise control is that when you are following someone and another car slips in between, the car really throws out the anchor to get the spacing back (and then really gets on the throttle to get back to speed), instead of just closing the throttle and coasting back to the set space and then easing back into the throttle.

ALL 21 Mustangs come standard with those features now. Making the cars safer..
