2016 LINCOLN MKZ manual transmission

When the system is active, your vehicle
remains stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This allows time to move your foot
from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The
system releases the brakes automatically
once the engine has developed sufficient
drive to prevent your vehicle from rolling
down the slope. This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, for example from a
car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing
uphill into a parking space.
Note:The system only functions when you
bring your vehicle to a complete standstill
with the vehicle in an uphill gear (for
example, second (2) when facing uphill or
reverse (R) when facing downhill).
Note: There is no warning light to indicate
the system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the
brake pedal pressed. 2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is
on a slope, the system activates
automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle remains on the
slope without rolling away for about two
to three seconds. This hold time
automatically extends if you are in the
process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The system releases the brakes automatically.
Note: When you remove your foot from the
brake pedal and press the pedal again when
the system is active, you will experience
significantly reduced brake pedal travel. This
is normal.
Switching the System On and Off
Vehicles with Manual Transmission
You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display. The system remembers
the last setting when you start your vehicle. Vehicles with Automatic Transmission
You cannot turn the system on or off. When
you switch the ignition on, the system
automatically turns on.

Brakes

If the transmission is in reverse (R), the front
sensing system provides audio warnings
when your vehicle is moving and the
detected obstacle is stationary or moving
towards your vehicle.
If the transmission is in drive (D) or any other
forward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S)
or any forward gear in a manual
transmission), the front sensing system
provides audio warnings when your vehicle
is moving below a speed of 7 mph (12 km/h)
and an obstacle is located inside the
detection area.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped)
WARNING
Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot replace the
driver’s attention and judgment. The driver
is responsible for avoiding hazards and
maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the system is in use.
Note: The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.
The system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers your
vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly instructs you
to park your vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front bumper
and the parking space (a pedestrian or
cyclist) or if the edge of the neighboring
parked vehicle is high off the ground (for
example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Note: The blindspot information system does
not detect traffic alongside or behind your
vehicle during a park assist maneuver.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that cause
disruptive reflections.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves
or cause ultrasonic interference (motorcycle
exhaust, truck air brakes or horns). Do not use the system if:
• You have attached a foreign object (bike
rack or trailer) to the front or rear of your
vehicle or attached close to the sensors.
• You have attached an overhanging object (surfboard) to the roof.
• The front bumper or side sensors are damaged or obstructed by a foreign
object (front bumper cover).
• A mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist
E146186
Press the button located on the
center console near the gearshift
lever or the right side of the center
stack.
The touchscreen displays a message and a
corresponding graphic to indicate it is
searching for a parking space. Use the
direction indicator to indicate which side of
your vehicle you want the system to search.
Note: If the direction indicator is not on, the
system automatically searches on your
vehicle's passenger side.

Parking Aids (If Equipped)

E130108
When you think your vehicle has enough
space in front and behind it, or you hear a
solid tone from the parking aid (accompanied
by a touchscreen display message and a
chime), bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
When automatic steering is finished, the
touch screen displays a message and a tone
sounds, indicating that the active park assist
process is done. The driver is responsible
for checking the parking job and making any
necessary corrections before putting the
transmission in park (P).Deactivating the Park Assist Feature
Manually deactivate the system by:
• Pressing the active park assist button.
• Grabbing the steering wheel.
• Driving above approximately 50 mph(80 km/h) for 10 seconds during an active
park search.
• Driving above 6 mph (9 km/h) during automatic steering.
• Turning off the traction control system. Certain vehicle conditions can also
deactivate the system, such as:
• Traction control has activated on a
slippery or loose surface.
• There is an anti-lock brake system activation or failure.
• Something touches the steering wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system, a
warning message is displayed, followed by
a tone. Occasional system messages may
occur in normal operation. For recurring or
frequent system faults, contact an authorized
dealer to have your vehicle serviced.

Parking Aids (If Equipped)

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
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature.
Note: Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only active
while the transmission is in reverse (R). When
you shift the transmission out of reverse (R),
the feature automatically turns off and you
must enable it to use it again.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of reverse
(R) and into any gear other than park (P), the
camera image remains in the display until
your vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h)
or until you select a radio button.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.
205
Parking Aids (If Equipped)

• Wet weather driving capability.
• All-wheel driving capability.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly additional
caution should be given to:
• Towing a trailer.
• Driving vehicles equipped with a camperbody.
• Driving vehicles with a load on the cargo rack.
Drive cautiously when using a full-size
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly and
seek service as soon as possible.
Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not
prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack, even if the transmission is in park
(P).
WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park (P), set
the parking brake and block (in both
directions) the wheel that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the vehicle)
to the tire being changed.
Never get underneath a vehicle that is
supported only by a jack. If your vehicle
slips off the jack, you or someone else could
be seriously injured.
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided
as original equipment with your vehicle,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, place the
transmission in reverse (R) after the
engine is turned off.
E175447
3. Block both the front and rear of the wheeldiagonally opposite the flat tire. For
example, if the left front tire is flat, block
the right rear wheel.
4. Remove the carpeted wheel cover.
