WHAT IS DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes thatyou can select for different drivingconditions. Depending on the drive modethat you select, the system adjusts variousvehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Drive mode control adjusts your vehicleconfiguration for each mode you select.
Changing the drive mode adjusts thesteering effort and feel of the steeringsystem.
The stability and traction control assist yourvehicle control in adverse conditions orhigh-performance driving.
Throttle control enhances the powertrainresponse, transmission controls becomeoptimized with shift schedules, andfour-wheel drive settings are optimized andtuned to each mode.
Changing the drive mode can engage ordisengage the electronic locking differentials.
Changing the drive mode changes thefour-wheel drive mode to the default settingfor the selected drive mode.
Note:The system has diagnostic checks thatcontinuously monitor the system for properoperation. If a mode is unavailable due to asystem fault, the drive mode system defaultsto normal. When the system defaults tonormal, the driveline settings remain thesame as prior to the system fault.
Note:The system reverts to the normalmode each time you start your vehicle. Atstartup the system also displays a prompton the instrument cluster display that givesyou the option to return to the previouslyselected drive mode during the last ignitioncycle. If you select yes, the system returnsto the last selected drive mode and thedefault driveline settings associated withthat mode. If you select no, the systemremains in normal mode and the drivelinesettings remain the same as selected in theprior ignition cycle. If you do not select yesor no, the system stays in normal mode andthe driveline settings remain the same asselected in the prior ignition cycle.

Four-wheel drive auto is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive lowis selectable in deep conditions mode.
The electronic locking differential engageswhen you select this mode at any speed, andyou can disengage it at any time using thebutton. See What Is the ElectronicLimited-Slip Differential (page 230).
Note:Do not use this mode when driving onpavement or packed snow. This could causedriveline bind up and damage the systemdepending on the four-wheel drive modeselection. See Four-Wheel Drive (page 224).
EXCITE - 4X4

The suspension stiffens, with anemphasis on handling and control. Thetransmission also holds gears longer, helpingyour vehicle accelerate faster when shiftinggears.
Two-wheel drive high is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive lowis not available in excite mode.
The electronic locking differential is availablebelow 25 mph (40 km/h). See What Is theElectronic Limited-Slip Differential (page230).
EXCITE - 4X2

NORMAL 4A - 4X4 (If Equipped)
For general on-road driving. Use this modeon normal firm surfaces such as dry or wetpavement and hard packed dirt or gravelroads. Delivers power to all four wheels, asrequired.
Four-wheel drive auto is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. All four-wheel drivemodes are selectable when in normal 4Amode.
The electronic locking differential is availablebelow 25 mph (40 km/h). See What Is theElectronic Limited-Slip Differential (page230).
SLIPPERY - 4X4
For less than ideal road conditions, such assnow or ice covered roads. Slippery modeinspires confidence without taking away fromdriving pleasure. Slippery mode lowersthrottle response and optimizes shifting forslippery surfaces.
Four-wheel drive high is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. Two-wheel drive highis not available in slippery mode.
The electronic locking differential is availablebelow 25 mph (40 km/h). See What Is theElectronic Limited-Slip Differential (page230).
Note:Do not use this mode when driving ondry pavement. This could cause drivelinebind up and damage the system dependingon the four-wheel drive mode selection. SeeFour-Wheel Drive (page 224).

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 and 360+
The lane keeping system alerts you byproviding temporary steering assistance orsteering wheel vibration when it detects anunintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forwardlooking camera mounted on the windshieldto monitor vehicle movement within thetravel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of thetravel lane, the lane keeping system alertsthe driver by vibrating the steering wheel, oraids the driver by providing a small steeringinput to move the vehicle back into the travellane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•Alert (If Equipped)
•Aid
•Alert + Aid

WARNING: You are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle at all times. Thesystem is designed to be an aid and doesnot relieve you of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention. Failureto follow this instruction could result in theloss of control of your vehicle, personalinjury or death.
WARNING: The system will notoperate if the sensor cannot track the roadlane markings.
WARNING: The sensor mayincorrectly track lane markings as otherstructures or objects. This can result in afalse or missed warning.
WARNING: In cold and severeweather conditions the system may notfunction. Rain, snow and spray can all limitsensor performance.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly if the sensor is blocked.Keep the windshield free from obstruction.

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns ofapproaching hazards in the roadway. Thesystem provides multiple levels of assistanceto help avoid a collision if your vehicle israpidly approaching another stationaryvehicle, a vehicle traveling in the samedirection as yours, or a pedestrian or cyclistwithin your driving path.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potentialhazards by providing three levels ofassistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approachingpotential hazards the system provides thefollowing levels of functionality:
1.Alert.
2.Brake Support.
3.Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashingvisual warning appears and anaudible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The system is designed tohelp reduce the impact speed by preparingthe brakes for rapid braking. The systemdoes not automatically apply the brakes. Ifyou press the brake pedal, the system couldapply additional braking up to maximumbraking force, even if you lightly press thebrake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Automaticemergency braking may activate if thesystem determines that a collision isimminent.
Note:If you perceive the pre-collision assistalerts as being too frequent or disturbing,then you can reduce the alert sensitivity.Setting the low sensitivity would result infewer and later warnings of a potentialforward collision. The manufacturerrecommends using the high sensitivitysetting where possible.
Note:Automatic emergency brakingperformance is not affected by the sensitivitysetting.
Each system has various levels of detectioncapabilities. See Pre-Collision AssistLimitations (page 322).

WHAT IS SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION
Speed sign recognition detects speed limitsigns to inform you of the current speed limit.Detected speed signs appear in theinstrument cluster display.
HOW DOES SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION WORK
Speed sign recognition uses a sensor behindthe interior mirror to detect speed signs.
If your vehicle has speed sign recognitionwith navigation, stored speed sign data mayinfluence the indicated speed limit value.

SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
LIMITATIONS
Speed sign recognition may not operatecorrectly due to:
•Outdated map data.
•Incorrect recognition of speed limits bythe sensor of signs on parallel roads orexit ramps.
•Missed recognition of faded, dirty, ordistorted signs.

SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION –FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the speed limit change withoutany sign on the road?
The speed limit changes due to thespeed limit data stored in the map data.
Why does speed sign recognition show awrong speed limit?
The system shows a wrong speed limitdue to incorrect and outdated map dataor due to incorrect recognition of thespeed limits by the camera.
