2015 LINCOLN MKT Owners Manual

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Always remember to turn on your headlamps at
dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp
(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not
provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
The system will turn the front fog lamps on in low light situations.
The following conditions must be met to activate this feature:
•Switch the ignition on.
•Switch the lighting control to the off, autolamp or parking lamp
position.
•The transmission must be in a gear other than P (Park).
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on your high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. When it detects an approaching
vehicle’s headlights, a preceding vehicle’s tail lamps or street lighting, the
system will turn off the high beams (low beams remain on) before they
distract other drivers.
Note:If it appears that automatic control of the high beams is not
functioning properly, check the windshield in front of the camera for
blockage. A clear view of the road is required for proper system
operation. Any windshield damage in the area of the camera field-of-view
should be repaired.
Note:If a blockage is detected (e.g. bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or
ice) and no changes are observed, the system will go into low beam
mode until the blockage is cleared. A message may also appear in the
instrument cluster display noting the front camera is blocked.
Note:Typical road dust, dirt and water spots will not affect the
automatic high beam system’s performance. However, in cold or
inclement weather conditions, the automatic high beam system’s
availability may be decreased. If the driver wants to change the beam
state independently of the system, the driver may turn the high beams
on or off using the multifunction switch stalk. Automatic control will
resume when conditions are correct.

Note:Modification of the vehicle ride height (e.g. using much larger
tires) may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windshield of the
vehicle, and monitors the conditions to decide when to switch the high
beams off and on.
Once the system is active the high beams will switch on if:
•The ambient light level is low enough that high beams are needed.
•There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.
•Vehicle speed is greater than 32 mph (52 km/h).
•Severe weather is not detected.
The high beams will switch off if:
•An approaching vehicle’s headlights or a preceding vehicle’s tail lamps
are detected.
•The vehicle speed falls below 27 mph (44 km/h).
•The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not
needed.
•Severe rain, snow or fog is detected.
•The camera is blocked.
Activating the system

ADAPTIVE HEADLAMPS
The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel
which provides more visibility when driving around curves.
A. Without adaptive headlamps
B. With adaptive headlamps
The system will only work with the lighting control switch in the
autolamp position.
Note:There is a delay of two to
five seconds before the adaptive
headlamp system will operate when
the vehicle is driven.
Note:The system is only active at
speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h).
Note:The system has a power-up
movement check feature. When
your vehicle is started, the lamps
track left to right, then back to center to alert the driver that the system
is working properly.
