Function Rear View Camera* This system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The display automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to objects. 2 01 4 M K S Active Park Assist* Detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly instructs you to park your vehicle. To use active park assist, press the AUTO IPI button located near the shifter. Use the turn signal to indicate which side of the vehicle you want the system to search on. If the turn signal is not on, the system automatically searches on the vehicle's passenger side. To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or press the control again. For complete information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner's Manual. Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. SecuriCode™ Keyless Entry System BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)* Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems This system sounds an audible warning tone if there is an obstacle near the vehicle's front or rear bumpers. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the warning tone increases in frequency. The front sensors are automatically activated when the gearshift is in any position other than P (Park) or N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is below 7 mph (12 km/h). The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in R (Reverse) and will detect objects up to 6 feet (2 meters) away. See the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner's Manual for complete information on your vehicle's sensing systems. SelectShift Automatic® Transmission Your SelectShift automatic transmission gives you the ability to manually change gears, if you like. To use SelectShift, move the gearshift lever into S (Sport). Use the paddle shifters, located on the steering wheel, to manually select gears. Pull (+) to upshift, pull (-) to downshift. Return the gearshift lever to D (Drive) when manual control is no longer desired. Lincoln Drive Control This suite of electronic vehicle systems continuously monitors both your inputs and the road conditions to optimize ride comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and sound. Choose your custom driving experience through the information display under Settings, Drive Assist and then Drive Control: Comfort: provides drivers with easier steering and a more fluid suspension.  Normal: delivers a more engaging drive experience with confident handling and a powerful, yet quiet powertrain sound. Allows you to lock or unlock the doors, recall memory features and arm or disarm the anti-theft alarm. To get started, you will need your five digit factory code found on your owner's wallet card (located in the glove box). Entering this code unlocks the driver's door. To lock all doors, press and hold 7•8 and 9•0 at the same time. For complete information, refer to the SecuriCode Keyless Entry Keypad section in the Locks chapter of your Owner's Manual. BLIS uses radar sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be in your blind spot zone. The CTA feature warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides when the transmission is in R (Reverse). BLIS and CTA will display a yellow indicator light in your exterior mirrors and the CTA will also sound tones and display messages to warn you which direction vehicles are approaching. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information. Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Manual for safety information, more details and system limitations. Lane Keeping System* The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of the lane and alerts or aids the driver to stay in the lane through the steering system and instrument cluster display. The system automatically detects and tracks the road lane markings using a camera that is mounted behind the interior rearview mirror. *if equipped  Sport: adds a sporty feel with a stiffer suspension and an emphasis on handling and control, along with a more powerful engine tone. 14 *if equipped 15
