Not sure if this has been addressed. The pre-collision has never gone off once in the year that I have had my vehicle and there have been times that it should have. In any case, my question is, has anyone noticed on their 2025 Explorer ST if there is a symbol/alert that shows up on the dashboard during startup, which indicates it is active? I ask this because all of my previous Ford vehicles with pre-collision had the red bar in the top of the dash that flashed onto the windshield that alerted on start-up.

Maybe it's not turned on in the settings. Mine goes off all the time unnecessarily and it's too sensitive and innacurate but it is a 2020. Your technology is probably more advanced. My 2013 Lincoln was even worse than my 2020 ST in terms of driver assist features.

It’s always active, so many variables for it to activate, and it’s becoming a lot more civilized and less freaking out.

@LKS it should always be on but check the sensitivity in settings.

I've had the same questions with my 2025 ST. I had a 2020 Edge ST before this one and it would go off at least once every time I drove it. After having it for a year when it was time for oil change, I wanted them to check it out. Of course, all they did was check for any errors when they didn't find any course in their mind everything was ok. I'm sure they must have other checks that could be done to insure everything is correct, however two days later it did work and has worked twice and even worked in reverse, when it actually stopped the car. I have always had the settings for the most sensitivity.

Yeah I think the sensors are just really finicky.
