INTERIOR MIRROR WARNING
Do not adjust the mirror when your
vehicle is moving.
Note:
Do not clean the housing or glass
of any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or
other petroleum or ammonia-based
cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to your
preference. Some mirrors also have a
second pivot point. This lets you move the
mirror head up or down and from side to
side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note: Do not block the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror. Mirror
performance may be affected. A rear
center passenger or raised rear center
head restraint may also block light from
reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to reduce
glare when bright lights are detected from
behind your vehicle. It will automatically
return to normal reflection when you select
reverse gear to make sure you have a
clear view when backing up. SUN VISORS
Rotate the sun visor toward the side
window and extend it rearward for extra
shade.

REAR VIEW CAMERA (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that
still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage. Objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera
system. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your
reaction time to stop the vehicle. Use caution when using the rear
video camera and the trunk is ajar.
If the trunk is ajar, the camera will be out
of position and the video image may be
incorrect. All guidelines (if enabled) have
been removed when the trunk is ajar. Use caution when turning camera
features on or off while in R
(Reverse). Make sure the vehicle is not
moving. The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your
vehicle. The image will display in either
the rear view mirror or the display in the
center of the instrument panel.
During operation, lines will appear in the
display that represent your vehicle
’s path
and proximity to objects behind your
vehicle. The camera is located on the trunk near
the high-mount brake lamp.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you
place the transmission in Reverse (R).
The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Active guidelines: Show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while
reversing in a straight line. This can be
helpful when backing into a parking
space or aligning your vehicle with
another object behind you.
• Centerline (if applicable): Helps align
the center of your vehicle with an
object (trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in Reverse (R)
and the luggage compartment is ajar, no
rear view camera features will display.
Note: If the image comes on while the
transmission is not in Reverse (R), have
the system inspected by an authorized
dealer.

MKZ (CC9) Parking AidsE152548

The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on your steering wheel
position. When your steering wheel
position is straight, the active guidelines
are not visible.
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your
vehicle and objects in the green zone are
farther away. Objects are getting closer to
your vehicle as they move from the green
zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the
side view mirrors and rear view mirror to
get better coverage on both sides and rear
of your vehicle.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ACTIVE + FIXED, FIXED and OFF.
Visual Park Aid Alert
Note:
Visual park alert is only available
when the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights that appear on top of the video
image when the reverse sensing system
detects an object. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. You can disable
the reverse sensing alert if you have visual
park aid alert enabled, you will still see the
displayed highlighted areas.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full
area behind your vehicle is not
shown. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only
active while the transmission is in Reverse
(R). When you shift the transmission out of
Reverse (R), the feature automatically turns
off and you must enable it to use it used
again.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of
Reverse (R) and into any gear other than
Park (P), the camera image remains in the
display until your vehicle speed reaches
5 mph (8 km/h or until you select a radio
button.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.

MKZ (CC9) Parking Aids

The system detects unintentional drifting
toward the outside of the lane and alerts
and/or aids the driver to stay in the lane
through the steering system and
instrument cluster display. 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 on or off setting is
stored until it is manually changed, unless
a MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is
detected, the system is defaulted to on
and the mode is set to Alert.
Note: If a MyKey® is detected, pressing
the button will not affect the on or off
status of the system. Only the Mode and
Intensity settings can be changed when
a MyKey® is present. Press the button located on the
left steering wheel stalk to
switch the system on or off.
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. Alert only – Provides a steering wheel
vibration when an unintended lane
departure is detected.
Aid only – Provides an assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center when
an unintended lane departure is detected.

System Lights and Messages
The BLIS and cross traffic alert systems
illuminate a yellow alert indicator in the
outside mirror on the side of the vehicle
the approaching vehicle is coming from.
Note:
The alert indicator dims when
nighttime darkness is detected.
Cross traffic alert also sounds an audible
warning and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle is
coming from the right or left. Cross traffic
alert works with the reverse sensing
system which sounds its own series of
tones. See Parking Aid (page 182).
System Sensors WARNING
Just prior to the system recognizing
a blocked condition and alerting the
driver, the number of missed objects will
increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER
use the BLIS as a replacement for using
the side and rear view mirrors and looking
over your shoulder before changing lanes.
BLIS is not a replacement for careful
driving and only an assist. Note:
It is possible to get a blockage
warning with no blockage present; this is
rare and known as a false blockage
warning. A false blocked condition either
self-corrects or clears after a key cycle. The system uses radar sensors which are
located behind the bumper fascia on each
side of your vehicle. Do not allow these
areas to become obstructed by mud, snow
or bumper stickers, as this can cause
degraded system performance.
If the system detects a degraded
performance condition, a message
warning of a blocked sensor or a message
warning of low visibility will appear in the
information display and the alert indicator
illuminates in the appropriate mirror(s). The
information display warning can be cleared
but the alert indicator remains illuminated.
When the blockage is removed, the
system can be reset in two ways:
•
when at least two objects are detected
while driving, or
• turn the ignition from on to off, then
back on.
If the blockage is still present after the key
cycle, the system senses again that it is
blocked after driving in traffic.
