2013 LINCOLN MKZ roof rack

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
Vehicle modifications involving
braking system, aftermarket roof
racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire
size may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle and may
adversely affect the performance of
the AdvanceTrac system. In addition,
installing any stereo loudspeakers
may interfere with and adversely
affect the AdvanceTrac system.
Install any aftermarket stereo
loudspeaker as far as possible from
the front center console, the tunnel,
and the front seats in order to
minimize the risk of interfering with
the AdvanceTrac sensors. Reducing
the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac
system could lead to an increased risk
of loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death. Remember that even advanced
technology cannot defy the laws
of physics. It’ s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the
risk of personal injury or property
damage. Activation of the
AdvanceTrac system is an indication
that at least some of the tires have
exceeded their ability to grip the road; WARNINGS
this could reduce the operator ’s ability
to control the vehicle potentially
resulting in a loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. If your AdvanceTrac system
activates, SLOW DOWN. The AdvanceTrac Control system
helps you keep control of your vehicle
when on a slippery surface. The
electronic stability control portion of
the system helps avoid skids and
lateral slides and roll stability control
helps avoid a vehicle rollover. The
traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
See Using Traction Control (page
181).

Stability Control

Note:
The sensors may not detect
objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.
The system detects an available
parallel parking space and
automatically steers the vehicle into
the space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and
brakes. The system visually and
audibly instructs you to park the
vehicle.
The system may not function correctly
if something passes between the front
bumper and the parking space (i.e. a
pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of
the neighboring parked vehicle is high
from the ground (i.e. a bus, tow truck
or flatbed truck).
The system should not be used if:
• a foreign object (i.e. bike rack or
trailer) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another
location close to the sensors.
• an overhanging object (i.e.
surfboard) is attached to the roof. •
the front bumper or side sensors
are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e.
front bumper cover).
• a mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist Press the button located on
the right side of the center
stack.
The touch screen displays a message
and a corresponding graphic to
indicate it's searching for a parking
space. Use the turn signal to indicate
which side of the vehicle you want the
system to search on.
Note: If the turn signal is not on, the
system automatically searches on the
vehicle's passenger side. 187

metal cleaner or polish on wheels and
wheel covers
• Wash the vehicle first, using cool
or lukewarm water and a neutral
pH shampoo, such as Motorcraft®
Detail Wash.

Metal Cleaner. Apply the product
as you would a wax to clean
bumpers and other chrome parts;
allow the cleaner to dry for a few
minutes, then wipe off the haze
with a clean, dry rag.
• Do not apply cleaning product to
hot surfaces and do not leave
cleaning product on chrome
surfaces for a period of time
exceeding that which is
recommended.
• Using other non-recommended
cleaners can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.

vehicle frequently. Keep body and
door drain holes free from packed dirt.

plastic parts •
For routine cleaning, use
Motorcraft® Detail Wash.

use Motorcraft® Bug and Tar
Remover.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
Your authorized dealer has touch-up
paint to match your vehicle ’s color.
Take your color code (printed on a
sticker in the driver ’s door jamb) to
your authorized dealer to ensure you
get the correct color.

droppings, tree sap, insect
deposits, tar spots, road salt and
industrial fallout before repairing
paint chips.

before using the products.
WAXING
• Wash the vehicle first.

in contact with any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored trim,
such as grained door handles, roof
racks, bumpers, side moldings,
mirror housings or the windshield
cowl area. The paint sealant will
“gray ” or stain the parts over time.
