2019 LINCOLN MKZ sensor

The system consists of the following:
•A label or embossed side panelindicating that side airbags are fitted toyour vehicle.
•Side airbags inside the driver and frontpassenger seat backrests.
•Front passenger sensing system.
•Crash sensors and monitoring systemwith readiness indicator. See CrashSensors and Airbag Indicator (page 55).
The design and development of the sideairbag system included recommendedtesting procedures that were developed bya group of automotive safety experts knownas the Side Airbag Technical Working Group.These recommended testing procedureshelp reduce the risk of injuries related to thedeployment of side airbags.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER KNEE
AIRBAGS
Driver and passenger knee airbags arelocated under or within the instrument panel.During a crash, the restraints control modulemay activate the driver and passenger kneeairbags (individually or both) based on crashseverity and respective occupant conditions.Under certain crash and occupant conditions,the driver and passenger knee airbags maydeploy (individually or both) but thecorresponding front airbag may not activate.As with front and side airbags, it is importantto be properly seated and restrained toreduce the risk of death or serious injury.
Make sure the knee airbags areoperating properly. See CrashSensors and Airbag Indicator(page 55).
SAFETY CANOPY™
WARNING: Do not place objects ormount equipment on or near the headlinerat the siderail that may come into contactwith a deploying curtain airbag. Failure tofollow these instructions may increase therisk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING: Do not lean your head onthe door. The curtain airbag could injure youas it deploys from the headliner.
WARNING: Do not attempt to service,repair, or modify the supplementary restraintsystem or associated components. Failureto follow this instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.

Supplementary Restraints SystemE152533 E67017 E67017

WARNING: All occupants of yourvehicle, including the driver, should alwaysproperly wear their seatbelts, even when anairbag supplemental restraint system isprovided. Failure to properly wear yourseatbelt could seriously increase the risk ofinjury or death.
WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, donot obstruct or place objects in thedeployment path of the airbag.
WARNING: If a supplementary restraintsystem component has deployed, it will notfunction again. Have the system andassociated components inspected as soonas possible. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury or death.
The Safety Canopy deploys during significantside crashes or when a certain likelihood ofa rollover event is detected by the rolloversensor. The Safety Canopy is mounted tothe roof side rail sheet metal, behind theheadliner, above each row of seats. In certainsideways crashes or rollover events, the
Safety Canopy will be activated, regardlessof which seats are occupied. The SafetyCanopy is designed to inflate between theside window area and occupants to furtherenhance protection provided in side impactcrashes and rollover events.
The system consists of the following:
•Safety Canopy curtain airbags above thetrim panels over the front and rear sidewindows identified by a label or wordingon the headliner or roof-pillar trim.
•A flexible headliner which opens abovethe side doors to allow air curtaindeployment
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with a readiness indicator.See Crash Sensors and AirbagIndicator (page 55).
Properly restrain children 12 years old andunder in the rear seats. The Safety Canopywill not interfere with children restrainedusing a properly installed child or boosterseat because it is designed to inflatedownward from the headliner above thedoors along the side window opening.
The design and development of the SafetyCanopy included recommended testingprocedures that were developed by a groupof automotive safety experts known as theSide Airbag Technical Working Group. Theserecommended testing procedures helpreduce the risk of injuries related to thedeployment of side airbags (including theSafety Canopy).

CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG
INDICATOR
WARNING: Modifying or addingequipment to the front end of the vehicle(including frame, bumper, front end bodystructure and tow hooks) may affect theperformance of the airbag system, increasingthe risk of injury. Do not modify the front endof the vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors which provide informationto the restraints control module. Therestraints control module deploys (activates)the front seatbelt system, the adaptivecollapsible steering column, driver airbag,passenger airbag, knee airbag(s), seatmounted side airbags, Safety Canopy andoptional rear inflatable seatbelts. Based onthe type of crash, the restraints controlmodule will deploy the appropriate safetydevices.
The restraints control module also monitorsthe readiness of the above safety devicesplus the crash and occupant sensors. Thereadiness of the safety system is indicatedby a warning indicator light in the instrumentcluster or a backup tone (if equipped).Routine maintenance of the airbag is notrequired.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after theignition is turned on.
•The readiness light will either flash orstay lit.
•A series of five beeps will be heard (Ifequipped). The tone pattern will repeatperiodically until the problem, the lightor both are repaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced at an authorizeddealer immediately. Unless serviced, thesystem may not function properly in theevent of a crash.
The seatbelt pretensioners and the frontairbag supplemental restraint system aredesigned to activate when the vehiclesustains frontal deceleration sufficient tocause the restraints control module to deploya safety device.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners orfront airbags did not activate for both frontseat occupants in a crash does not meanthat something is wrong with the system.Rather, it means the restraints control moduledetermined the accident conditions (crashseverity, belt usage) were not appropriate toactivate these safety devices.
•The design of the front airbags is toactivate only in frontal and near-frontalcrashes (not rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts) unless the crash causessufficient frontal deceleration.
•The seatbelt pretensioners and rearinflatable seatbelts are designed toactivate in frontal, near-frontal and sidecrashes and rollovers.
•The knee airbag(s) may deploy based oncrash severity and occupant conditions.

AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped)
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,snow or salty road mist can causeinconsistent and unexpected wiping orsmearing.
Autowipers On.A
High sensitivity.B
Low sensitivity.C
Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the autowipers.
When you select low sensitivity, the wipersoperate when the sensor detects a largeamount of water on the windshield. Whenyou select high sensitivity, the wipersoperate when the sensor detects a smallamount of water on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and thewipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hitthe windshield.
In these conditions, you can do the following:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing on thewindshield.
•Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
•Switch autowipers off.
Note:Fully defrost the windshield before youswitch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure that you switch thewindshield wipers off before entering a carwash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. If that does not resolve theissue, install new wiper blades.
Note:If you switch autolamps andautowipers on, the headlamps turn on whenthe windshield wipers continuously operate.
Autowipers Settings
This setting defaults to on and remains onuntil you switch it off in the informationdisplay.
When you switch off autowipers, the wipersoperate in intermittent mode.
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit (If Equipped)
The rain sensing feature will not operateimmediately after starting your vehicle whenit is in park (P) and the outside temperatureis below 32°F (0°C). You can switch on thewipers by adjusting the rain sensor sensitivityor adjusting the wiper speed.
This prevents damage to the wiper bladesfrom ice and snow on the windshield.
