218 Driving Aids Due to the nature of radar technology, there may be certain instances where vehicles do not provide a collision warning. These include: • Stationary vehicles or vehicles moving below 6 mph (10 km/h). • Pedestrians or objects in the roadway. • Oncoming vehicles in the same lane. • Severe weather conditions (see blocked sensor section). • Debris build-up on the grille near the headlamps (see blocked sensor section). • Small distance to vehicle ahead. • Steering wheel and pedal movements are large (very active driving style). • High interior temperatures, which may deactivate the illumination or the warning lamps until the interior temperature reduces (audible warning still sounds). Certain conditions may reduce the visibility of the warning lamp; therefore, it is recommended to keep the audible warning on. If the front end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone may be altered causing missed or false collision warnings. See your authorized dealer to have your collision warning radar checked for proper coverage and operation. LINCOLN DRIVE CONTROL Lincoln Drive Control delivers the Lincoln driving experience through a suite of sophisticated electronic vehicle systems. These systems continuously monitor both your driving inputs and the road conditions to optimize ride comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and sound. You can preset your preferences for these systems within the information display. Lincoln Drive Control will respond to your preferences based on what gear position you select. This provides a single location to control multiple systems performance settings. Lincoln Drive Control consists of the following systems: • Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) dynamically adjusts the shock absorbers stiffness in real time to match the road surface and driver inputs. Vehicle motion (roll, pitch, bounce), suspension position, vehicle loading, vehicle speed, road conditions, and steering are continuously monitored to adjust the suspension damping for optimal vehicle control. • Electronically Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) adjusts steering effort and feel based on vehicle speed and your inputs. • Active Noise Control (ANC) utilizes vehicle electronics to enhance the acoustic experience. 2014 MKS (mks) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
