2016 LINCOLN MKX Settings

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the
top of the battery clean and dry. Also, make
certain the battery cables are always tightly
fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or
terminals, remove the cables from the
terminals and clean with a wire brush. You
can neutralize the acid with a solution of
baking soda and water.
When a battery replacement is required, the
battery should only be replaced with a Ford
recommended replacement battery that
matches the electrical requirements of the
vehicle.
Because your vehicle
’s engine is
electronically-controlled by a computer,
some engine control settings are maintained
by power from the low voltage battery. Some
engine computer settings, like the idle trim
and fuel trim strategy, optimize the
driveability and performance of the engine. Some other computer settings, like the clock
and radio station presets, are also maintained
in memory by power from the low voltage
battery. When a technician disconnects and
connects the low voltage battery, these
settings are erased.
Note:
Until you switch the ignition to the on
position, you will receive a message in your
information display stating that your vehicle
is not in park.
Complete the following procedure in order
to restore the settings:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into P.
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle. 5. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature. While the engine
is warming up, complete the following:
Reset the clock. See Audio System
(page 388). Reset the power windows
bounce-back feature. See Windows and
Mirrors (page 100).
Reset the radio station
presets. See Audio System (page 388).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. If the engine turns off, step on
the accelerator to start the engine.
7. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the transmission to
N.
8. Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the accelerator
pedal.
9. Drive your vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely relearn the idle
and fuel trim strategy.
Note: Certain features may not operate if
the Battery Monitor System is not reset with
a scan tool following a jump start or battery
replacement. Normal electrical accessory
operation should resume after your vehicle
is left undisturbed for 8 hours.

conditions and driving styles. Due to
their design, low-profile tires and wheels
are more prone to road damage from
potholes, rough or unpaved roads, car
wash rails and curb contact than
standard tires and wheels.
Note:
Your vehicle's warranty does not
cover these types of damages. Extra
caution should be taken when operating
on rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause wheel and tire damage.
Important Information About Sport
Tires and Wheels
Vehicles equipped with the optional
265/40R21 tires are designed to
enhance performance. To continue
providing this performance, extra care
must be taken when operating and
maintaining your vehicle.
These low-profile high-performance tires
are designed to optimize the driving
dynamics you expect in a sport vehicle
in both dry and wet conditions. These
tires are not optimized for off-road or
winter (snow or cold weather) performance; and their ride, noise, and
wear characteristics are different than
non-performance tires. With low-profile
tires, you may notice an increase in road
noise and faster wear, depending on
road conditions and driving habits. Also,
because of their lower profile, the tires
are more susceptible to road damage
from potholes, rough or unpaved roads,
car wash rails, and curb contact than
standard tires and wheels.
Note:
Your vehicle ’s warranty does not
cover these types of damages. Extra
caution should be taken when operating
on rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause wheel and tire damage.
The optional 265/40R21 tires were
designed for track use and may exhibit
significantly reduced tread life and
increased tire noise compared to the
standard equipment tires under normal
driving conditions. Increasing the front
camber settings beyond the factory
settings may further accelerate tread
wear and induce tire noise. Note:
Do not use tire chains on your
vehicle ’s optional 265/40R21 tires and
wheels. The use of any type of tire chain
on these tires may damage your vehicle.
See Using Snow Chains (page 358).
Notice to Crossover Vehicle Owners Crossover vehicles handle differently
than passenger cars in the various
driving conditions that are encountered
on streets, highways and off-road.
Crossover vehicles are not designed for
cornering at speeds as high as
passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road conditions.

Privacy Information
When you connect a cell phone to SYNC,
the system creates a profile within your
vehicle that links to that cell phone. This
profile helps in offering you more cellular
features and operating more efficiently.
Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cell phone book, text
messages (read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cell
phone was not connected to the system. In
addition, if you connect a media device, the
system creates and retains an index of
supported media content. The system also
records a short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent system
activity. The log profile and other system data
may be used to improve the system and help
diagnose any problems that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and
development log remain in your vehicle
unless you delete them, and are generally
accessible only in your vehicle when your
cell phone or media player is connected. If
you no longer plan to use the system or your
vehicle, we recommend you carry out a
Master Reset to erase all stored information.
System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to your
vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada do not access
the system data for any purpose other than
as described without consent, a court order,
or where required by law enforcement, other
government authorities, or other third parties
acting with lawful authority. Other parties
may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and
Ford of Canada. For further privacy
information, see the sections on 911 Assist®,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic, Directions
and Information.
Using Voice Commands
This system helps you control many features
using voice commands. This allows you to
keep your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of
your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status bar
indicating the status of the voice command
session (such as Listening, Success, Failed,
Paused or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands
The following are some of the
voice commands that you can say
at any time during a voice
command session.

Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of your vehicle is
as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken voice commands.
• After pressing the voice command icon,
wait until after the tone sounds and a
message appears before saying a voice
command. Any voice command spoken
prior to this does not register with the
system. •
Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system
while it is speaking by pressing the voice
command icon.
Accessing a List of Available Voice
Commands
To access a list of available voice commands
you can do either of the following.
Using the touchscreen, press: Menu Item
Settings
Help
Voice Command List Using the steering wheel control, press the
voice button and when prompted say one
of the following: Voice Commands

Radio List of Commands
Phone List of Commands
Voice Instructions List of Commands
Voice Command Settings
These allow you to customize the level of
system interaction, help and feedback. The
system defaults to standard interaction that
uses candidate lists and confirmation
prompts as these provide the highest level
of guidance and feedback.
