1. Drive to desired speed.
2. Press SET+ or SET-.
3. A green indicator light, the current gapsetting and your set speed appear in theinformation display.
4.Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
5.A vehicle graphic illuminates if there is avehicle detected in front of you.
Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your vehicledoes not decelerate automatically to astop, nor does your vehicle alwaysdecelerate quickly enough to avoid a crashwithout driver intervention. Always apply thebrakes when necessary. Failing to do so mayresult in a crash, serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warns ofvehicles detected by the radar sensor.In some cases there may be no warning ora delayed warning. You should always applythe brakes when necessary. Failure to do somay result in a crash, serious injury or death.
Note:When you are following a vehicle andyou switch on a direction indicator, adaptivecruise control may provide a small temporaryacceleration to help you pass.
Note:The brakes may emit noise whenapplied by the system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters thesame lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in thesame lane, the vehicle speed adjusts tomaintain a preset gap distance. A vehiclegraphic illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap fromthe vehicle ahead until:
•The vehicle in front of you accelerates toa speed above the set speed.
•The vehicle in front of you moves out ofthe lane you are in.
•Your vehicle speed falls below 12 mph(20 km/h).
•You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow yourvehicle to maintain a safe gap distance fromthe vehicle in front. The system only applieslimited braking. You can override the systemby applying the brakes.

Detection Issues
WARNINGS
On rare occasions, detection issuescan occur due to the roadinfrastructures, for example bridges, tunnelsand safety barriers. In these cases, thesystem may brake late or unexpectedly. Atall times, you are responsible for controllingyour vehicle, supervising the system andintervening, if required.
If the system malfunctions, have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.
The radar sensor has a limited field of view.It may not detect vehicles at all or detect avehicle later than expected in somesituations. The lead vehicle graphic does notilluminate if the system does not detect avehicle in front of you.
Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in front whendriving into and coming out of abend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly. You should stay alert and takeaction when necessary.
If something hits the front end of your vehicleor damage occurs, the radar-sensing zonemay change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detection.

System Not Available
The system may not turn on if there is:
•A blocked sensor.
•High brake temperature.
•A failure in the system or a relatedsystem.
Blocked SensorNote:You cannot see the sensor. It is behinda fascia panel.
A message displays if something obstructsthe radar signals from the sensor. Thesensor is in the lower grille. The systemcannot detect a vehicle ahead and does notfunction when something blocks the sensor.
Possible Causes and Actions for This Message Displaying:
ActionCause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the objectcausing the obstruction.The surface of the radar is dirty or obstructed.
Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detectthat it is free from obstruction.The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in thedisplay.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detectany vehicles ahead.Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.

Fuses

•Always set the parking brake to ensurethe vehicle does not move unexpectedly.
•Do not remove any foreign objects, suchas nails or screws, from the tire.
•When using the kit, leave the enginerunning (only if the vehicle is outdoors orin a well-ventilated area) so thecompressor does not drain the vehicle'sbattery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operatecontinuously for more than 15 minutes.This will help prevent the compressorfrom overheating.
•Never leave the kit unattended duringoperation.
•Sealant compound contains latex. Thosewith latex sensitivities should useappropriate precautions to avoid anallergic reaction.
•Keep the kit away from children.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound beforethe use-by date. The use-by date is on alabel on the sealant canister, which youcan see through the rectangular viewingwindow on the bottom of the compressor.Check the use-by date regularly andreplace the canister after four years ofnon-use.
•Do not store the kit unsecured inside thepassenger compartment of the vehicleas it may cause injury during a suddenstop or crash. Always store the kit in itsoriginal location.
•After sealant use, an authorized Forddealer must replace the tire pressuremonitoring system sensor and valve stemon the wheel.
•Operating the kit could cause anelectrical disturbance in radio, CD andDVD player operation.
* When inflation only is required fora tire or other objects, the selectormust be in the Air position.
What to do When a Tire Is Punctured
You can repair a tire puncture within the tire'stread area in two stages with the kit.
•In the first stage, inflate the tire with asealing compound and air. After youinflate the tire, you will need to drive thevehicle a short distance 4 mi (6 km) todistribute the sealant in the tire.
•In the second stage, check the tirepressure and adjust, if necessary, to thevehicle's specified tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Inflating the Tire withSealing Compound and Air
WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit whileinflating the tire. If you notice anyunusual bulges or deformations in the tire'ssidewall during inflation, stop and callroadside assistance.
If the tire does not inflate to therecommended tire pressure within 15minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.

When Inflating Your Tires
WARNING
Do not use the tire pressure displayedin the information display as a tirepressure gauge. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in personal injury ordeath.
When putting air into your tires (such as at agas station or in your garage), the tirepressure monitoring system may not respondimmediately to the air added to your tires.
It may take up to two minutes of driving over20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn off afteryou have filled your tires to therecommended inflation pressure.
How Temperature Affects Your TirePressure
The tire pressure monitoring system monitorstire pressure in each pneumatic tire. Whiledriving in a normal manner, a typicalpassenger tire inflation pressure mayincrease about 2–4 psi (14–28 kPa) from acold start situation. If the vehicle is stationary
overnight with the outside temperaturesignificantly lower than the daytimetemperature, the tire pressure may decreaseabout 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C)in ambient temperature. This lower pressurevalue may be detected by the tire pressuremonitoring system as being significantlylower than the recommended inflationpressure and activate the system warninglight for low tire pressure. If the low tirepressure warning light is on, visually checkeach tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one ormore tires are flat, repair as necessary.Check the air pressure in the road tires. Ifany tire is under-inflated, carefully drive thevehicle to the nearest location where air canbe added to the tires. Inflate all the tires tothe recommended inflation pressure.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL (If
Equipped)
WARNINGS
Do not use tire sealants as they maydamage the tire pressure monitoringsystem.
WARNINGS
If the tire pressure monitor sensorbecomes damaged it may not function.
Note:The use of tire sealant may damageyour tire pressure monitoring system andshould only be used in roadsideemergencies. If you must use a sealant, usethe Lincoln Tire Mobility Kit sealant. The tirepressure monitoring system sensor andvalve stem on the wheel must be replacedby an authorized dealer after use of thesealant.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring systemindicator light will illuminate when the sparetire is in use. To restore the full function ofthe monitoring system, all road wheelsequipped with tire pressure monitoringsensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not applythe brake heavily. Instead, graduallydecrease your speed. Hold the steeringwheel firmly and slowly move to a safe placeon the side of the road.
