If the front end of the vehicle is hit or
damaged, the radar sensing zone may
be altered causing missed or false
collision warnings. See your
authorized dealer to have your
collision warning radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNINGS
The electric power steering
system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation. When a
system error is detected a steering
message will appear in the
information display. The electric power steering
system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation of the
electronic system. When an electronic
error is detected, a message will be
displayed in the information display.
If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
After at least 10 seconds, reset the
system by restarting the engine, and
watch the information display for a
steering message. If a steering
message returns, or returns while
driving, take the vehicle to your dealer
to have it checked. WARNINGS
Obtain immediate service if a
system error is detected. You
may not notice any difference in the
feel of your steering, but a serious
condition may exist. Failure to do so
may result in loss of steering control. Your vehicle is equipped with an
electric power-assisted steering
system. There is no fluid reservoir to
check or fill.
If your vehicle loses electrical power
while you are driving (or if the ignition
is turned off), you can steer the
vehicle manually, but it takes more
effort. Extreme continuous steering
may increase the effort it takes for you
to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and permanent
damage to your steering system. If this
should occur, you will neither lose the
ability to steer the vehicle manually
nor will it cause permanent damage.
Typical steering and driving
maneuvers will allow the system to
cool and steering assist will return to
normal.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check
for:
•
an improperly inflated tire
• uneven tire wear
• loose or worn suspension
components
• loose or worn steering
components
• improper vehicle alignment
233
MKZ (CC9) Driving Aids
A high crown in the road or high
crosswinds may also make the
steering seem to wander or pull.
Adaptive Learning
The EPS system adaptive learning
helps correct for road irregularities
and improves overall handling and
steering feel. It communicates with
the vehicle's brake system to help
operate advanced stability control
and accident avoidance systems.
Additionally, whenever the battery is
disconnected or a new battery
installed, the vehicle must be driven
a short distance before the strategy
is relearned and all systems are
reactivated.
DRIVE CONTROL
LINCOLN DRIVE CONTROL
Lincoln Drive Control delivers the
Lincoln driving experience through a
suite of sophisticated electronic
vehicle systems. These systems
continuously monitor both your driving
inputs and the road conditions to
optimize ride comfort, steering,
handling, powertrain response and
sound. You can preset your
preferences for these systems within
the information display. Lincoln Drive
Control will respond to your
preferences based on what gear
position you select. This provides a
single location to control multiple
systems performance settings.
Lincoln Drive Control consists of the
following systems:
•
Continuously Controlled Damping
dynamically adjusts the shock
absorbers stiffness in real time to
match the road surface and driver
inputs. Vehicle motion (roll, pitch,
bounce), suspension position,
vehicle loading, vehicle speed, road
conditions, and steering are
continuously monitored to adjust
the suspension damping for
optimal vehicle control.
• Electronically Power-Assisted
Steering adjusts steering effort and
feel based on vehicle speed and
your inputs
• Active Noise Control utilizes
vehicle electronics to enhance the
acoustic experience
• Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control maintain vehicle
control in adverse conditions or
high performance driving
• Electronic Throttle Control which
enhances the powertrain response
to your inputs
These systems have a range of modes
which you can choose from in order
to customize your ideal driving
experience:
234
MKZ (CC9) Driving Aids
•
Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience, maximizing
comfort. Steering effort is
decreased and suspension
movement is more fluid. Comfort
mode is ideal when enhanced
traveling comfort is desired.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable,
controlled ride and confident
handling. This mode provides an
engaging drive experience and a
direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from a
luxury vehicle.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. Suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes
on a more powerful tone. Sport
mode is intended to be used during
more spirited driving.
Using Lincoln Drive Control
You can configure which of the Drive
Control modes are active when the
vehicle is in D (Drive) or in S (Sport).
The configuration is retained until
modified from the main menu on the
information display.
To change the vehicle ’s Drive Control
settings from the main menu on the
information display:
1. Choose Settings.
2. Choose Driver Assist.
3. Choose Vehicle. 4.
Select the shift position you would
like to configure, either
D or S.
5. Choose from Comfort, Normal, or Sport modes as your preferred
setting in
D.
6. Choose from Normal or Sport
modes as your preferred setting in
S.
Note: Lincoln Drive Control has
diagnostic checks that continuously
monitor the system to ensure proper
operation. Certain types of system
errors will gray out the mode selections
within the information display,
preventing you from changing states
when the gear position is changed.
Other types of errors will produce a
temporary message that states Drive
Control Malfunction. If either condition
persists for multiple key cycles, take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer to
have it checked.

Place the vehicle in Neutral Tow
mode by doing the following:
•Put the ignition in accessory

See Keyless Starting (page
161).
• Select
Neutral Tow in the
information display.
• When prompted by the
information display, press the
brake pedal and select Neutral
on the transmission. Make sure
the parking brake is off. If done
successfully, Neutral Tow
Engaged
appears in the
display.
• Shut the ignition off. See

(page 161).
If the process is completed
successfully, the
N on the
transmission slowly blinks and
"Neutral tow engaged" appears
in the information display.
• Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).
• Start the engine and allow it to run
for one minute at the beginning of
each day. With the engine running
and your foot on the brake, shift
into position
D and then into
position R before shifting back into
position
