Using Driver Alert
Switching the system on and off
You may switch the system on or off through
the information display. See General
Information (page 133). When activated, the
system monitors your alertness level based
upon your driving behavior in relation to the
lane markings, and other factors.
System Warnings
Note: The system does not issue warnings
below approximately
40 mph (64 km/h).
The warning system is in two stages. At first
the system issues a temporary warning that
you need to take a rest. This message will
only appear for a short time. If the system
detects further reduction in driving alertness,
another warning may be issued which will
remain in the information display for a longer
time. Press OK on the steering wheel control
to clear the warning. When active the system
will run automatically in the background and
only issue a warning if required. Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
•
Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping your vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’ s door.

DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Lincoln Drive Modes
Lincoln Drive Modes deliver a driving
experience through a suite of sophisticated
electronic vehicle systems. These systems
optimize steering, handling and powertrain
response. You can control performance
settings for multiple systems from this single
location.
Changing the drive mode automatically
changes the functionality of the following
systems: •
Electronically power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select. See
Steering (page 293).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control in
adverse conditions or high performance
driving. See Stability Control (page
244).
• Electronic throttle control enhances the
powertrain response to your inputs.
• Transmission controls optimize with shift
schedules tuned to each mode.
• Driveline settings optimize for each
mode.
Using the System
The system automatically tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select. To change the drive mode setting, use the
drive mode selector on the center console.
Note:
Mode changes are not available when
the vehicle ignition is off or when the engine
is not running.
Note: Not all settings may be available.
