What are these two lines under speedometer?

[hellohello123]

Have gone through the manual
Cannot for the life of me work out what these two lines mean,
I thought it might have been a clock but it hasn't changed
It also has changed colour too

Can anyone tell me please

is it for adaptive cruising? lane assist?

Lane assist, green line means the camera sees the side lane markings and the car is centered, red means you are out of the lane, white is the camera doesn't see the lane markings. Lane assist shuts off if you are going slow, cant remember what the speed it turns back on

You can also shut it off if you don't want to use it.

That's the stupid lane assist. Designed for morons who write text messages or apply make-up while driving, instead of watching where they're going.
Luckily, it can be turned off. Press the little button at the tip of the turn signal stalk.

Look in your owners manual under “driving aids”. Fully explained there.

Just a dumb question but does the Lane Keep Assist actively move the steering or is it just a warning system that you have to react to?

It moves it.

It can be configured to either warn you, or to actively steer, or both. But personally I find the best setting to be "off".

Funny part I did 1.5 years ago. When those lines came on one day, I had no idea what the hell they were. I went to take a merge off to the LIE from Northern and the red dash bar light blinks at me reflecting in the windshield. This exit only required you to hold the wheel straight. the parkway curved to the left and the exit went straight ahead with two lanes. Since I crossed the lines, it went off. I had no idea what the hell it was. Had no idea how it was turned on and quickly searched for how to turn it off. Last time I had them on. Never felt any fight or assist to turn in this occurrence. Always wondered if it worked fully or if the steering input was something else that had to be turned on in addition to the warning or if they were options.

edit. See someone stated that the steering assist and light are independently optioned and it can be fully disabled.

You are talking to a guy whose first car had the high beam switch on the floor. Can you imagine the experience when I needed to put on the highs and am stomping everywhere looking for the switch? Windshield wipers was a slide switch. Found that out the hard way too. Lights use to be a knob on the dash to pull. Next it went to a stalk for many years and now, the Mustang has it back on the dash. Go figure.

Funny "lane assist" story, but not Mustang related. My mom bought a Rav4 so she could haul the grand kids around. Loves it. But after about a month she told me it does "something funny and feels like it fights her when she's changing lanes or passing someone". I laughed, told her to use her fucking blinker.

A week later she told me that actually helped. Then I told her how her Rav4 's lane assist actually corrects the steering and since her lane change was so gradual, the car thinks she is just drifting over and tries to correct. Turning the blinker on lets the car know she's changing lanes (and everyone else around you, Mom, FFS).

If both lines go red, the boxing glove on a spring in the center of the steering wheel is detonated. You won't make the mistake of lane drifting again.

great, managed to find it, I went through every page of the manul looking for the lane pics but missed it

its a very nice feature, not too sure useful it is in practical use,

also it explained why my steering wheel would shake a bit when driving on a slightly turning road,
I thought it was an actual problem with the car

I guess from the sounds of it most people here either switch it off or ignore it, I might leave mine on as I like the picture of the car when adaptive cruise control is on,

ive only seen the collision imminent icon appear once when i passed a car a bit close but no way I would have been able to stop, it was a split second icon/sound
