2014 LINCOLN MKZ mirror

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 the
vehicle. The image will be displayed
in either in the rear view mirror or the
display in the center of the instrument
panel. During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle’s
path and proximity to objects behind
the vehicle.
E152548
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 R (Reverse).
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 (i.e. a trailer).

Parking Aids

Active guidelines are only shown with
fixed guidelines. To use active
guidelines, turn the steering wheel to
point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing,
the vehicle might deviate from the
original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade
in and out depending on the steering
wheel position. The active guidelines
are not shown when the steering
wheel position is straight.
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 the 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 R
(Reverse).
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 which appear on top of the
video image when an object is
detected by the reverse sensing
system. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if
visual park aid alert is enabled,
highlighted areas are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.
Manual Zoom
WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the
full area behind the 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 R
(Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled,
only the centerline is shown.
This allows you to get a closer view of
an object behind the vehicle. The
zoomed image keeps the bumper in
the image to provide a reference. The
zoom is only active while the
transmission is in R (Reverse). When
the transmission is shifted out of R
(Reverse), the feature automatically
turns off and must be reset when it is
used again.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.

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.
E144813
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.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS®) with Cross Traffic
Alert
(If Equipped)
WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use
the BLIS as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors
and looking over your shoulder before
changing lanes. BLIS is not a
replacement for careful driving and
only an assist.

E124788
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot
zone (A). The detection area is on
both sides of the vehicle, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to
approximately 10 feet (3 meters)
beyond the bumper. The system alerts
you if certain vehicles enter the blind
spot zone while driving.
Cross traffic alert warns you of
vehicles approaching from the sides
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse). Note:
BLIS is not designed to prevent
contact with other vehicles or objects;
or to detect parked vehicles, people,
animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees, etc.). It is designed to
alert the driver to vehicles in the blind
zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.
Using the Systems
BLIS turns on when the vehicle is
started and is driven forward above 5
mph (8 km/h); it remains on while the
transmission is in D (Drive) and N
(Neutral). If shifted out of D (Drive) or
N (Neutral), the system enters cross
traffic alert mode. Once shifted back
into D (Drive), BLIS turns back on
when the vehicle is driven above 5
mph (8 km/h).
Note: BLIS does not function in R
(Reverse) or P (Park) or provide any
additional warning when a turn signal
is on.
Note: Cross traffic alert detects
approaching vehicles from up to 45
feet (14 meters) away though coverage
decreases when the sensors are
blocked. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.

WARNING
To help avoid personal injury,
NEVER use the cross traffic alert
system as a replacement for using the
interior and exterior mirrors and
looking over your shoulder before
backing out of a parking space. Cross
traffic alert is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist.
E142440
In this first example, the left sensor is
only partially obstructed; zone
coverage is nearly ma ximized.

E142441
Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at shallow angles. Here, the
left sensor is mostly obstructed; zone
coverage on that side is severely
limited.
System Lights and Messages
E142442
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 187).
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.
215
Driving Aids

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.
E142443
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.
Reasons for messages being
displayed
Clean the fascia area infront of the radar or
remove the obstruction.
The radar
surface is dirty or
obstructed
Drive normally in trafficfor a few minutes to
allow the radar to detect
passing vehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar
surface is not dirty or
obstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically
resets to an unblocked
state once the rainfall or snowfall rate decreases
or stops. Do not use BLIS or cross traffic alert in these conditions.
Heavy
rainfall/
snowfall
interferes with the radar
signals
System Limitations
The BLIS and cross traffic alert
systems do have their limitations;
situations such as severe weather
conditions or debris build-up on the
sensor area may limit vehicle
detection.
