Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which
allows free shoulder belt length adjustment
to your movements and locking in response
to vehicle movement. For example, if the
driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of
about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the
combination seatbelts lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and
passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lock
if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If this
occurs, let the belt retract slightly and pull
the webbing out again in a slow and
controlled manner.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt automatically
pre-locks. The belt still retracts to remove
any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver
seatbelt. When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Use this mode any time a child safety seat,
except a booster, is installed in passenger
front or rear seating positions. Properly
restrain children 12 years old and under in a
rear seating position whenever possible.
See Child Safety (page 17).
How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Non-inflatable seatbelts 1.
Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until you pull the entire belt
out. As the belt retracts, you will hear a
clicking sound. This indicates the seatbelt
is now in the automatic locking mode.
Rear outboard inflatable seatbelts (second
row only–if equipped) 1.
Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grasp the lap portion of the belt and pull
upward until you pull the entire belt out.

STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the engine.
If the engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer. Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit. A message appears
in the information display alerting you that
you exceeded the cranking time. You
cannot attempt to start the engine for at
least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you are
limited to a 15-second engine cranking time.
You need to wait 60 minutes before you can
crank the engine for 60 seconds again.
Before starting the engine check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Make sure the transmission is in park (P)
or neutral. Vehicles with Keyless Start

MKX (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Starting and Stopping the Engine
When you shift to reverse (R), the side
sensing system provides audible warnings
when your vehicle is moving and obstacles
are detected within 6 in (15 cm) or when
obstacles are detected within 6–24 in
(15–60 cm) and are inside the driving path
of your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches
a standstill condition, the audible warning
stops after 2 seconds. Visual indication is
always present in reverse (R).
When you shift to drive (D) or any other
forward gear, for example, low (L), sport (S)
or any forward gear in manual transmission,
the side sensing system provides audible
and visual warnings when your vehicle is
moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and obstacles are detected within 6 in
(15 cm) or when obstacles are detected
within 6–24 in (15–60 cm) and are inside the
driving path of your vehicle. Once your
vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the
audible warning stops after 2 seconds and
visual indication stops after 4 seconds. If the
obstacles detected are within
6 in (15 cm),
the visual indication remains on. If the transmission is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual indication
(not audible) only when your vehicle is
moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and obstacles are detected within 6 in
(15 cm). Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the visual indication
stops after 4 seconds.
If the side sensing system is not available,
the side distance indicator blocks are not
present.
The side sensing system is not available
under the following condition:
• If you switch the traction control system
off.
• After a key cycle, side sensing is not
available until your vehicle travels the
length of your vehicle in order for the
system to initialize. •
If your vehicle is in a standstill condition
for over 2 minutes, side sensing is not
available until your vehicle travels the
length of your vehicle in order for the
system to reinitialize.
• During an ABS or traction control event,
side sensing disables and is not available
until your vehicle travels the length of
your vehicle in order for the system to
reinitialize.

REAR VIEW CAMERA 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. Reverse your vehicle as slow as
possible, higher speeds may limit your
reaction time to stop your vehicle. WARNINGS
Use caution when the rear cargo door
is ajar. If the rear cargo door is ajar, the
camera will be out of position and the video
image may be incorrect. All guidelines
disappear when the rear cargo door is ajar.
Some vehicles may not come equipped with
guidelines. Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving. The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display
which represent your vehicle
’s path and
proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located on the rear cargo
door.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the
