The system is designed to notify you
to stay in your lane through alerts
from the steering system and
instrument cluster when the front
camera detects an unintentional drift
out of your lane. The system
automatically detects and tracks the
road lane markings using a camera
that is mounted behind the interior
rear view mirror.
Switching the System On and
Off
Note:
The system defaults to off each
time the vehicle is started, unless a
MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is
detected, the system is defaulted to
on and the Alert mode is automatically
selected.
Note: If a MyKey® is detected,
pressing the button will not affect the
on/off status of the system. Only the
Mode and Intensity settings can be
changed when a MyKey® is present. To turn the system on, press
the button located on the left
steering wheel stalk. The
button must be pressed each time the
vehicle is started. The system can be
turned off by pressing the button
again. System Settings
The system has two optional setting
menus available. To view or adjust
them, select Settings > Driver Assist
> Lane Keeping Sys in the information
display using the OK button on the
steering wheel. The last-known
selection for each of these settings is
stored by the system. You do not need
to readjust your settings each time
you turn on the system.
Mode: This setting allows the driver
to select which of the system features
will be enabled and turned on when
the button is pressed. Alert only – Provides a steering wheel
vibration when an unintended lane
departure is detected.

departure is detected.
AlertA
AidB
Alert + Aid – Provides an assistance
steering torque input toward the lane
center. If the vehicle continues drifting
out of the lane, a steering wheel
vibration is provided.
Note: The alert and aid diagrams are
meant to illustrate general zone
coverage. They are not intended to
provide the exact zone parameters.
Intensity: This setting affects the
intensity of the steering wheel
vibration used for the alert and alert
+ aid modes. This setting does not
impact the aid mode.
• Low
• Medium
• High System Display
When the system is turned on, an
overhead graphic of a vehicle with
lane markings will be displayed in the
information display. If the aid mode is
selected when the system is turned
on, a separate white icon will also
appear in the instrument cluster or in
some vehicles arrows will be
displayed with the lane markings.
When the system is turned off, the
lane marking graphics will not be
displayed.
Note:
The overhead vehicle graphic
may still be displayed if adaptive cruise
control is enabled.
While the system is on, the color of
the lane markings will change to
indicate the system status.
Gray: Indicates that the system is
temporarily unable to provide a
warning or intervention on the
indicated side(s). This may be
because:
• the vehicle is under the activation
speed
• the turn indicator is active

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you plan on storing your vehicle for
an extended period of time (30 days
or more), read the following
maintenance recommendations to
make sure your vehicle stays in good
operating condition.
All motor vehicles and their
components were engineered and
tested for reliable, regular driving.
Long term storage under various
conditions may lead to component
degradation or failure unless specific
precautions are taken to preserve the
components.
General
•
Store all vehicles in a dry,
ventilated place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible.
• If vehicles are stored outside, they
require regular maintenance to
protect against rust and damage.
Body
• Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud
from exterior surfaces, rear-wheel
housing and underside of front
fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle
stored in exposed locations.
• Touch-up exposed or primed
metal to prevent rust. •
Cover chrome and stainless steel
parts with a thick coat of auto wax
to prevent discoloration. Re-wax
as necessary when your vehicle is
washed.
• Lubricate all hood, door and trunk
lid hinges, and latches with a light
grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent
fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil
and solvents.
Engine
• The engine oil and filter should be
changed prior to storage, as used
engine oil contain contaminates
that may cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days. Run
at fast idle until it reaches normal
operating temperature
• With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the
engine is running.
Fuel system
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality
fuel until the first automatic
shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.

how much weight a tire can carry.
You may find this information in
your owner ’s manual. If not,
contact a local tire dealer.
Note: You may not find this
information on all tires because it
is not required by federal law.
G. H:
Indicates the tire's speed
rating. The speed rating denotes
the speed at which a tire is
designed to be driven for extended
periods of time under a standard
condition of load and inflation
pressure. The tires on your vehicle
may operate at different
conditions for load and inflation
pressure. These speed ratings may
need to be adjusted for the
difference in conditions. The
ratings range from 81 mph (130
km/h) to 186 mph (299 km/h).
These ratings are listed in the
following chart. Note:

Location of the Tire Label
You will find a Tire Label
containing tire inflation pressure
by tire size and other important
information located on the B-Pillar
or the edge of the driver ’s door.
Inflating Your Tires
Safe operation of your vehicle
requires that your tires are
properly inflated. Remember that
a tire can lose up to half of its air
pressure without appearing flat.
Every day before you drive, check
your tires. If one looks lower than
the others, use a tire gauge to
check pressure of all tires and
adjust if required.
At least once a month and before
long trips, inspect each tire and
check the tire pressure with a tire
gauge (including spare, if
equipped). Inflate all tires to the
inflation pressure recommended
by Ford Motor Company.
320
MKZ (CC9) Wheels and TiresA
BCDE
E142545
When weather temperature
changes occur, tire inflation
pressures also change. A 10°F
(6°C) temperature drop can
cause a corresponding drop of 1
psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
Check your tire pressures
frequently and adjust them to the
proper pressure which can be
found on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.
To check the pressure in your
tire(s):
1. Make sure the tires are cool,
meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
Note: If you are checking tire
pressure when the tire is hot, (for
example driven more than 1 mile
[1.6 kilometers]), never bleed or
reduce air pressure. The tires are
hot from driving and it is normal for
pressures to increase above
recommended cold pressures. A
hot tire at or below recommended
cold inflation pressure could be
significantly under-inflated.
Note: If you have to drive a
distance to get air for your tire(s),
check and record the tire pressure
first and add the appropriate air
pressure when you get to the
pump. It is normal for tires to heat
up and the air pressure inside to go
up as you drive.
2. Remove the cap from the valve
on one tire, then firmly press
the tire gauge onto the valve
and measure the pressure. 3.
Add enough air to reach the
recommended air pressure.
Note: If you overfill the tire, release
air by pressing on the metal stem
in the center of the valve. Then
recheck the pressure with your tire
gauge.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each
tire, including the spare.
Note: Some spare tires operate at
a higher inflation pressure than the
other tires. For T type mini-spare
tires (refer to the Dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly
information for a description):
Store and maintain at 60 psi (4.15
bar). For full-size and dissimilar
spare tires (refer to the Dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly
information for a description):
Store and maintain at the higher of
the front and rear inflation pressure
as shown on the Tire Label.
6. Visually inspect the tires to
make sure there are no nails or
other objects embedded that
could poke a hole in the tire
and cause an air leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts
or bulges.
