Lincoln Drive Control*: This suite of
electronic vehicle systems lets you choose
three different driving experiences through
the information display: Comfort, Normal
and Sport. See the Driving Aids chapter of
your Owner's Manual for complete details. Collision Warning System*: This system
is designed to
alert the driver of
certain collision
risks. Radar
sensors detect if
vehicles ahead
of you which are

and red warning light which will appear
above the dash. If the risk of collision
increases, the system will increase brake

a Road Wheel section in the Wheels and
Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual. Rear Window Buffeting: When one or both
