DRIVER ALERT (IF EQUIPPED)
Principle of Operation WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING: Take regular rest breaks
if you feel tired. Do not wait for the system
to warn you. WARNING:
Certain driving styles may
result in the system warning you even if
you are not feeling tired. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the road
lane markings. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by us.
Note: The system assists you when driving
on fast main roads and freeways. Note:
The system calculates an alertness
level at vehicle speeds above approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
.
The system monitors your driving behavior.
The system is designed to alert you if it
calculates that you are becoming drowsy or
if your driving deteriorates.
Using Driver Alert
Switching the System On and Off
Switch the system on using the information
display.
See Information Displays (page
110).
Note: The system remains on or off
depending on how it was last set.
The system calculates your alertness level
based upon your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings and other factors.
System Warnings
Note: The system does not warn you if the
vehicle speed falls below approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
.

MKZ (CC9) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201905, Second-Printing Driving Aids
Note:
When aid mode is on and the system
detects no steering activity for a short period,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. The system may detect
a light grip or touch on the steering wheel
as hands off driving.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked, or if the windshield is
damaged or dirty. When you switch the system on and it
detects an unintentional drift out of your lane
is likely to occur, the system notifies or
assists you to stay in your lane through the
steering system and information display. In
Alert mode, the system provides a warning
by vibrating the steering wheel. In Aid mode,
the system provides steering assistance by
gently counter steering your vehicle back
into the lane.
When the system is functioning in the
combined Alert and Aid mode, the system
first provides steering assistance by gently
counter steering your vehicle back into the
lane, followed by a warning that vibrates the
steering wheel if the vehicle is still out of the
lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off
Note:
The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey™
is detected. If the system detects a MyKey™,
it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert. Press the button on the direction indicator
stalk to switch the system on or off.
System Settings
The system has optional setting menus
available. The system stores the last-known
selection for each of these settings. You do
not need to readjust your settings each time
you switch on the system.
Mode: This setting allows you to select which
of the system features you can enable.
