The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (for example, a salt sprayer, snowplow, or a moving truck bed).
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (for instance, driving from a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car was\
h).
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 your vehicle. WARNINGS
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 reverse (R).
Make sure your 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.

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 you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended
path.
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. Enhanced Park Aids
Note:
Enhanced park aids are 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 enhanced
park aids 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

The current assessment of your alertness is
within a typical range.
The current assessment of your alertness
indicates that you should rest as soon as
safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to right as
the calculated alertness level decreases. As
the rest icon is approached the color turns
from green to yellow to red. The yellow
position indicates the first warning is active
and the red position indicates the second
warning is active.
Note:
If you have recently received a
warning; you should consider resting, even
if the current assessment is with the typical
range. Note:
If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph (64
km/h), the alertness level will change to grey
for a short time and the information display
will inform you that the system is unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’ s door.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (If Equipped) WARNING
The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace your
attention and judgment. You are still
responsible to drive with due care and
attention. Note:
The system works above 40 mph (64
km/h). Note:
The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.
Note: When Aid mode is on and the system
detects no steering activity for a short period,
the system will alert you to put your hands
on the steering wheel. The system may
detect a light grip or touch on the steering
wheel as hands off driving.
The system notifies you to stay in your lane
through the steering system and the
instrument cluster display when the front
camera detects an unintentional drift out of
your lane is likely to occur. The system
automatically detects and tracks the road
lane markings using a camera 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 the system detects a MyKey®
it defaults to on and the mode is set to Alert.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
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. 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 9.8 ft (3 m) 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 reverse (R).
Note: BLIS is not designed to prevent
contact with other vehicles or objects; or to
detect parked vehicles, people, animals or
infrastructure (for example, fences, guardrails
or trees). 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 drive
(D) or neutral (N). If shifted out of drive (D) or
neutral (N), the system enters cross traffic
alert mode. Once shifted back into drive (D),
BLIS turns back on when the vehicle is driven
above
5 mph (8 km/h).
Note: BLIS does not function in reverse (R)
or park (P) or provide any additional warning
when a turn signal is on.
Note: Cross traffic alert detects approaching
vehicles from up to
45.9 ft (14 m) 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. 228
MKZ Hybrid (), enUSA Driving AidsE142440

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 201). 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. 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.
230
MKZ Hybrid (), enUSA Driving AidsE142442 E142443

There may be certain instances when either
the BLIS or cross traffic alert systems
illuminate the alert indicator with no vehicle
in the coverage zone; this is known as a false
alert. Some amount of false alerts are normal;
they are temporary and self-correct.
System Errors
If either system senses a problem with the
left or right sensor, the BLIS telltale will
illuminate and a message will appear in the
information display.
All other system faults will only be displayed
by a message in the information display.
Switching the Systems Off and On
One or both systems can be switched off
temporarily by using the information display
control. See (page 109). When the BLIS is
switched off, you will not receive alerts and
a telltale illuminates in the information
display. The yellow alert indicator in the
outside mirror will also flash twice. Note:
The CTA system always switches on
whenever the ignition is switched on.
However, the BLIS system will remember the
last selected on or off setting.
One or both systems cannot be switched off
when MyKey is used.
See (page 359).
One or both systems can also be switched
off permanently at your authorized dealer.
Once switched off, switching it back on must
also be done at your authorized dealer.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering WARNINGS
The electric power steering system has
diagnostic checks that continuously
monitor the system to ensure proper
operation. When a system error is detected
a steering message will appear in the
information display. WARNINGS
