on.
For auto-fold mirrors, the Lincoln welcome
mat turns on when welcome lighting or
lighted entry turns on and the mirrors fold in
upon locking or using the switch on the door.
Note:Moisture, frost and ice build-up or
other types of contamination on the surface
of the light lens can cause non-permanent
distortion or reduced brightness of the
image. Do not use abrasive materials to
clean the lens.
Note:If you enable auto-fold and then you
fold the mirrors in to the door window glass,
the welcome mats do not turn on.

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns the high beams off. Low beams
remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams
on and off.
SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Do not use the system in
poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.
Use the touchscreen to select the following:
1. Select Settings.

Activating the Automatic High Beam
Control
E281240
Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position. See
Autolamps (page 112).
Note:The lighting control defaults to
autolamps each time you switch your vehicle
on.
When active, the high beams turn on if all
the following conditions occur:
• The ambient light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn off if at
least one of the following conditions occur:
• The ambient light level is high enough
that you do not require high beams.
• The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.
• The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.• A blocked vehicle camera.
• The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
Note:The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.
Note:Certain curvy road situations may
delay high beam reactivation.
Note:If you have a blocked sensor, the
system may not operate properly. Keep the
windshield free from obstruction or damage.
Note:The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.
Note:If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. If you have a
blocked camera, a message may appear in
the information display.
Note:Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit. A message appears
in the information display alerting you that
you exceeded the cranking time. You
cannot attempt to start the engine for at
least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you are
limited to a 15-second engine cranking time.
You need to wait 60 minutes before you can
crank the engine for 60 seconds again.
