Function Rear View Camera* This system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The image automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to objects. 2 01 5 M K S 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. N  ormal: delivers a more engaging drive experience with confident handling and a powerful, yet quiet powertrain sound. S  port: adds a sporty feel with a stiffer suspension and an emphasis on handling and control, along with a more powerful engine tone. 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 on the right side of the center stack. Use the direction indicator to indicate which side of the vehicle you want the system to search on. If the direction indicator 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. Refer to the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner's Manual for more details. Collision Warning System* BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert* 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 park (P) or neutral (N) and the vehicle speed is below 7 mph (12 km/h). The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R) and detects 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 sport (S). Use the paddle shifters, located on the steering wheel, to manually select gears. Pull (+) to upshift and pull (-) to downshift. Return the gearshift lever to drive (D) when manual control is no longer desired. This system is designed to alert the driver of certain collision risks. Radar sensors detect if vehicles ahead of you, that are moving in the same direction, may be a collision risk. The system alerts you with an audible tone and a red warning light that appears above the dash. If the risk of collision increases, the system increases brake support to help reduce collision speed. BLIS uses radar sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be in your blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R). BLIS and cross traffic alert display a yellow indicator light in your exterior mirrors. Cross traffic alert also sounds tones and displays messages to warn you which direction vehicles are approaching. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information. Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. 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 mounted behind the interior mirror. See the Driving Aids section in your Owner's Manual for details. *if equipped 12 Note: You can use the SelectShift feature temporarily when you are in drive (D) by pulling the paddle shifters. The transmission reverts back to fully automatic operation after a few seconds with no further paddle use. *if equipped 13
