2014 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID steering wheel

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal.
USING CRUISE CONTROL
WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control in heavy
traffic, on winding roads or when the
road surface is slippery. This could result
in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or
death. When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above
the set speed. The system will not apply
the brakes. Change down a gear to assist
the system in maintaining the set speed.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death. Note:
Cruise control will disengage if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10
mph (16 km/h) below your set speed while
driving uphill. The cruise controls are located on the
steering wheel. Switching Cruise Control On

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.
