2016 LINCOLN MKX warning light

The current gap setting and SET also display.
Setting a Speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Press and release SET+. The vehicle
speed is stored in the memory.
3. The information display shows a green indicator light, current gap setting and
desired set speed.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 5. A lead vehicle graphic illuminates when
the system detects a vehicle in front of
you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is active,
the speedometer may vary slightly from the
set speed displayed in the information
display. Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of
you, your vehicle does not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor does your vehicle
always decelerate quickly enough to avoid
a crash without driver intervention. Always
apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to
do so may result in a crash, serious injury or
death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of
radar-sensor-detected vehicles. In
some cases there may be no warning or a
delayed warning. You should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit a sound when
the adaptive cruise control system is active.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain a preset gap distance. The distance
setting is adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic illuminates. When you are following a vehicle and you
switch on your left directional indicator,
adaptive cruise control may provide a small
temporary acceleration to help you pass.
The vehicle maintains a constant distance
between the vehicle ahead until:
•
The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20
km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The vehicle applies brakes to slow the
vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. The maximum braking which
the system can apply is limited. You can
override the system by applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level is insufficient, an audible
warning sounds while the system continues
to brake. The red warning bar appears on
the windshield. You should take immediate
action.

Each time you start the vehicle, the system
selects the last chosen gap for the current
driver.
Disengaging the System
Press the brake pedal or press and release
CNCL. The last set speed displays in grey
but does not erase.
Overriding the System WARNING
Whenever the driver presses the
accelerator pedal and overrides the
system, the system does not automatically
apply the brakes to maintain the set distance
from any vehicle ahead. Press the accelerator pedal to override the
set speed and gap distance.
When you override the system,
the green indicator light
illuminates and the lead vehicle
graphic does not show in the information
display. The system resumes operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed decreases to the set speed, or a
slower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
•
Accelerate or brake to the desired speed,
then press and release
SET+.
• Press and hold
SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
gradually changes to the selected speed.
• Press and release SET+ or SET-. The set
speed changes in approximately 1 mph
(2 km/h) increments.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed displays continuously in the
information display when the system is
active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it. Press and release
RES. The vehicle returns
to the previously set speed. The set speed
displays continuously in the information
display while the system is active.
Low Speed Automatic Cancellation
The system does not function at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h). An audible alarm
sounds and the automatic braking releases
if your vehicle drops below this speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again when the brakes cool.
Select a lower gear during prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, such as
mountainous areas, when the system is
active. In such situations, the system needs
additional engine braking to reduce the load
on the vehicle ’s regular brake system to
prevent the brakes from overheating.

Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object
causing the obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some
way.
Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect
that it is free from obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is clean but the message remains
in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface of the road may interfere
with the radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with no other vehicles and no
roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
possible to get a blockage warning with no
actual block. This happens, for example,
when driving in sparse rural or desert
environments. A false blocked condition
either self clears or clears after a you restart
your vehicle. Switching to Normal Cruise Control WARNING
Normal cruise control does not brake
for slower vehicles. Always be aware
of which mode you have selected and apply
the brakes when necessary. You can manually change from adaptive
cruise control to normal cruise control
through the information display.
The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you select
normal cruise control. The gap setting does
not display, the system does not
automatically respond to lead vehicles and
automatic braking does not activate.

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 within 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) WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. At all times you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if required. If the sensor becomes blocked the
system may not function. WARNINGS
In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain,
snow, spray can all limit sensor performance. Large contrasts in lighting can limit
sensor performance.
The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings. The vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer for inspection if
damage occurs in the immediate area
surrounding the sensor. 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.

System Lights and Messages
The Blind Spot Information and cross traffic
alert systems illuminate a yellow alert
indicator in the outside mirror on the side of
your vehicle the approaching vehicle is
coming from. In addition, the yellow alert
indicator will flash if the direction indicator is
ON while a Blind Spot Warning System alert
is active.
Cross traffic alert also sounds a series of
tones and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle is
coming from the right or left. 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 Blind Spot Information System as a
replacement for using the side and rear view
mirrors and looking over your shoulder
before changing lanes. The Blind Spot
Information System 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. 240

WARNINGS
System performance may reduce in
situations where the camera's
detection capability is limited. These
situations include but are not limited to direct
or low sunlight, vehicles at night without tail
lights, unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians with complex backgrounds,
running pedestrians, partly obscured
pedestrians, or pedestrians which cannot be
distinguished from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. The system cannot help prevent all
collisions. Do not rely on this system
to replace driver judgment and the need to
maintain distance and speed. The pre-collision assist system's brake
support can only help reduce the
speed at which a collision occurs if the driver
applies the vehicle's brakes. The brake pedal
must be pressed just like any typical braking
situation. Using the Pre-Collision Assist System
The Pre-Collision Assist system is active at
speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h)
and pedestrian detection is active at speeds
up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system is design
to provide three levels of functionality:
1. Alert
2. Brake Support
3. Active Braking Alert
: When activated, a red warning light
flashes, an audible warning chime sounds
and a warning message shows in the
information display.
Brake Support
: The brake support system
assists the driver in reducing the collision
speed by lightly applying the brakes. If the
risk of collision further increases after the
warning light illuminates, the brake support
prepares the brake system for rapid braking.
This may be apparent to the driver. The
system does not automatically activate the
brakes, but if you press the brake pedal, the
system may apply full force, even if the brake
pedal is lightly pressed.
Active Braking
: Active braking may activate
if the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or avoid the crash
completely.
