Once your vehicle has started, it
remains running until you press the
start button, even if it does not detect
a valid key. If you open and close a
door while your vehicle is running, the
system searches for a valid key. You
cannot start your vehicle if it does not
detect a valid key within 20 seconds.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts down
the engine if it has been idling for an
extended period of time. The ignition
also turns off in order to save battery
power. Before the engine shuts down,
a message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting
down from 30 seconds. If you do not
intervene within 30 seconds, the
engine shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that the engine has shut
down in order to save fuel. Start your
vehicle as you normally do.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Override
Note:
You cannot permanently switch
off the automatic engine shutdown
feature. When it is temporarily
switched off, it turns on at the next
ignition cycle.
The engine shutdown can be stopped,
or the timer reset, at any point before
the 30 second countdown has expired
by doing any of the following: • • You can reset the timer by
interacting with your vehicle (such
as pressing the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal).
• • You can temporarily switch off the shutdown feature any time the
ignition is on (for the current
ignition cycle only). Use the
information display to do so. See
Information Displays (page 100).
• • During the countdown before engine shutdown, you are
prompted to press OK or RESET
(depending on your type of
information display) to temporarily
switch the feature off (for the
current ignition cycle only).
STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
After you start the engine, the idle
speed increases to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does
not slow down automatically, have
your vehicle checked by your
authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have
fastened their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in position P.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator
pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

System Limitations
WARNING
The collision warning system
’s
brake support can only help
reduce the speed at which a collision
occurs if the driver applies the
vehicle ’s brakes. The brake pedal
must be pressed just like any typical
braking situation. Due to the nature of radar technology,
there may be certain instances where
vehicles do not provide a collision
warning. These include:
•
Stationary vehicles or vehicles
moving below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Pedestrians or objects in the
roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same
lane.
• Severe weather conditions (see
blocked sensor section).
• Debris build-up on the grille near
the headlamps (see blocked
sensor section).
• Small distance to vehicle ahead.
• Steering wheel and pedal
movements are large (very active
driving style).
•
Certain conditions may reduce the
visibility of the warning lamp;
therefore, it is recommended to keep
the audible warning on. 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.
LINCOLN DRIVE CONTROL
The Lincoln driving experience is
delivered through a suite of
sophisticated electronic vehicle
systems that continuously monitor
both your inputs and the road
conditions to optimize ride comfort,
steering, handling, and powertrain
response and sound.
These systems include:
•
Continuously Controlled Damping
which dynamically adjusts the
shock absorbers in real time to
match the road surface and your
inputs.
• Electronically Power-Assisted
Steering which adjusts steering
effort and feel based on vehicle
speed and your inputs.
• Active Noise Control which utilizes
vehicle electronics to enhance the
acoustic experience.
• Electronic Stability Control and
Traction Control which maintain
vehicle control in adverse
conditions or high performance
driving.
• Electronic Throttle Control which
enhances the powertrain response
to your inputs.

Driving Aids

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
• the vehicle is in a dynamic
maneuver
• the road has no or poor lane
markings in the camera
field-of-view
• the camera is obscured or unable
to detect the lane markings due to
environmental conditions (e.g.
significant sun angles or shadows,
snow, heavy rain, fog), traffic
conditions (e.g. following a large
vehicle that is blocking or
shadowing the lane), or vehicle
conditions (e.g. poor headlamp
illumination). See Troubleshooting for additional
information.
Green: Indicates that the system is
available or ready to provide a
warning or intervention, on the
indicated side(s).
Yellow: Indicates that the system is
providing or has just provided a lane
keeping aid intervention.
Red: Indicates that the system is
providing or has just provided a lane
keeping alert warning.
The system can be temporarily
suppressed at any time by the
following:
• Quick braking
• Fast acceleration
• Using the turn signal indicator
• Evasive steering maneuver

5. Install a new air filter element. Be
careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air
filter housing and cover. This could
cause filter damage and allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine if
not properly seated.
6. Install the air filter housing cover.
7. Engage the clamps to secure the air filter housing cover to the air
filter housing.
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are
properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident,
the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized
dealer.

Vertical Aim Adjustment
Procedure
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of
a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the
ground and mark an 8 foot (2.4
meter) horizontal reference line on
the vertical wall or screen at this
height.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while
adjusting the other.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood. 281

4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high
intensity light located at the top of
the right hand portion of the beam
pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips
#2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster
either clockwise or
counterclockwise in order to adjust
the vertical aim of the headlamp.
The horizontal edge of the brighter
light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the
lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is not adjustable.
REMOVING A HEADLAMP
See an authorized dealer. CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a
thin film of mist can form on the
interior of the lens. The thin mist
eventually clears and exits through
the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation
are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks,
drip marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of
the lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak)
are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks
or streaks present on the interior
of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for
service if any of the above conditions
of unacceptable moisture are present.
