Question:

So the manual says do not install if you have active breaks or continuous power braking. I know the first one is the vehical senses an accident and automatically stops the car, but what is continuous power braking and does my car have it?

Your 2014 Ford F-150 is equipped with vacuum power brake system and not the active or continuous braking system. Follow the standard installation instruction for the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System, # RM-9160.

Active brakes or continuous brake systems allow the vehicle's brake to be active with the vehicle running or not. It then will take minimal pressure on the brake pedal to engage the brakes.
