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).
•
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. 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 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. This system continuously
monitors your vehicle ’s motion (roll,
pitch, bounce), suspension position,
load, speed, road conditions, and
steering to adjust the suspension
damping for optimal vehicle control.
• Electronically power-assisted steering
adjusts steering effort and feel based
on your vehicle speed and your inputs.
• Active noise control utilizes your
vehicle electronics to enhance the
acoustic experience.
212
MKZ (CC9) Driving Aids
•
Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
• Electronic throttle control 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:
• Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience, maximizing
comfort. Your steering effort decreases
and the suspension movement is more
fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when you
desire enhanced traveling comfort.
• 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. The 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
ideal for use during more spirited
driving.
Using Lincoln Drive Control
You can configure which of the Drive
Control modes are active when your
vehicle is in Drive (D) or in Sport (S). The
configuration remains active until modified
from the main menu on the information
display. To change your vehicle
’s Drive Control
settings from the main menu on the
information display:
1. Choose Settings.
2. Choose Vehicle.
3. Choose Drive Control.
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,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR
WHEELS
Emergency Towing
In the event your vehicle becomes
disabled (without access to wheel dollies,
car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport
vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels on
the ground, regardless of the
powertrain/transmission configuration)
under the following conditions:
•
The vehicle is facing forward so that it
is towed in a forward direction.
• The transmission gear shift lever is
placed in position N. If the transmission
gear shift lever cannot be moved to
position N, it may need to be
overridden. See Automatic
Transmission (page 170).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80
kilometers).
Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering the vehicle.
See
Climate Control (page 124).
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example
of recreational towing would be towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that
your transmission is not damaged. Your vehicle can be towed with all four
wheels on the ground using the Neutral
Tow feature, or with all four wheels off the
ground using a vehicle transport trailer. If
you are using a vehicle transport trailer,
follow the instruction specified by the
equipment provider.
Neutral Tow
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground:
•
Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Place the vehicle in Neutral Tow mode
by doing the following:
•Put the ignition in accessory mode
(ignition on, engine off ).
See
Keyless Starting (page 147).
• 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 Keyless
Starting (page 147). 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
N.

MKZ (CC9) Capacities and Specifications
MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 individual tracks and folder
structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
disc playback: MP3 track mode (system
default) and MP3 folder mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder
structure on the MP3 disc. The player
numbers each MP3 track on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension) from
T001 to a maximum of T255. The
maximum number of playable MP3 files
may be less depending on the
structure of the CD and exact model
of radio present.
• MP3 folder mode represents a folder
structure consisting of one level of
folders. The CD player numbers all
MP3 tracks on the disc (noted by the
.mp3 file extension) and all folders
containing MP3 files, from F001 (folder)
T001 (track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of
folders helps with navigation through
the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it
is important to understand how the system
reads the structures you create. While
various files may be present, (files with
extensions other than mp3), only files with
the .mp3 extension are played; other files
are ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety
of tasks on your work computer, home
computer and your in-vehicle system. In track mode, the system displays and
plays the structure as if it were only one
level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless
of being in a specific folder). In folder
mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files
in the current folder.
