Electric Power Steering WARNING: If the system detects an
error, you may not feel a difference in the
steering, however a serious condition may
exist. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible, failure to do so may result in
loss of steering control. WARNING:
The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system. If a fault
is detected, a message displays in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so. Switch the
ignition off. After at least 10 seconds,
switch the ignition on and watch the
information display for a steering system
warning message. If a steering system
warning message returns, have the system
checked as soon as possible.
Your vehicle has an electric power steering
system. There is no fluid reservoir. No
maintenance is required. If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving, electric power steering
assistance is lost. The steering system still
operates and you can steer your vehicle
manually. Manually steering your vehicle
requires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle. This increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to the
steering system. You do not lose the ability
to steer your vehicle manually. Typical
steering and driving maneuvers allow the
system to cool and return to normal
operation.
Steering Tips
Steering wander or pull could be caused by
any of the following:
•
Incorrect tire pressures.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Crowned road surface.
• High crosswind.
If the problem persists, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

Adaptive Learning
The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning helps correct road
irregularities and improves overall handling
and steering feel. It communicates with the
brake system to help operate advanced
stability control and accident avoidance
systems. Additionally, whenever the battery
is disconnected or a new battery installed,
you must drive your vehicle a short distance
before the system relearns the strategy and
reactivates all systems.
Adaptive Steering (If Equipped)
Note: The adaptive steering system has
diagnostic checks that continuously monitor
the system. If a fault is detected a message
displays in the information display. If a red
warning message displays, stop your vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so. The message
may clear if the fault is no longer present. If
an adaptive steering system warning
message appears each time you start your
vehicle, have the system checked as soon
as possible. The adaptive steering system continually
changes the steering ratio with changes to
vehicle speed, optimizing the steering
response in all conditions.
The adaptive steering system is designed
with a locking device. While the lock is
engaged, your vehicle returns to a fixed
steering ratio. You may also notice a sound
when you start or turn off your vehicle as the
lock is disengaged or engaged. If your
vehicle loses electrical power or detects a
fault while you are driving, the lock engages
and you are able to continue steering. During
this time it is possible that the steering wheel
may not be straight when the vehicle is
driving straight ahead. During this time you
may notice that the steering wheel angle
required to steer the vehicle may be
different. Extreme operating conditions may
also cause the lock to engage. This strategy
prevents overheating and permanent
damage to the adaptive steering system.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers allow
the system to cool and return to normal
operation.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, pedestrians at night,
cyclists or animals. Failure to take care may
result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury.

Continental (CPL) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201807, Second-Printing Driving Aids

Note:
If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
though the manufacturer recommends using
the highest sensitivity setting where possible.
Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer
and later system warnings.
Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist Settings
You can adjust the Alert sensitivity to one of
three possible settings by using the
information display control. See General
Information (page 112).
If required, you can switch Active Braking off
using the information display control.
See
General Information (page 112). Note:
Active braking automatically turns on
every time you switch the ignition on.
Blocked Sensors If a message regarding a blocked sensor or
camera appears in the information display,
the radar signals or camera images are
obstructed. The radar sensor is located
behind a fascia cover near the driver side of
the lower grille. With an obstructed radar,
the Pre-Collision Assist system does not
function and cannot detect a vehicle ahead.
With the front camera obstructed, the
Pre-Collision Assist system does not respond
to pedestrians or stationary vehicles and the
system performance on moving vehicles
reduces. The following table lists possible
causes and actions for when this message
displays.

Note:
If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing
zone may change. This could cause missed
or false vehicle detections. Contact an
authorized dealer to have the radar checked
for proper coverage and operation.
Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message may display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. This message
deactivates automatically when operational
conditions are correct. For example, when
the ambient temperature around the sensor
decreases or the sensor automatically
recalibrates.
DRIVE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Lincoln Drive Control
The system delivers a driving experience
through a suite of sophisticated electronic
vehicle systems. These systems continuously
monitor 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. The
system responds 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:
•
Adaptive suspension dynamically adjusts
the shock absorbers stiffness in real time
to match the road surface and driver
inputs. This system continuously monitors
your vehicle ’s motion (roll, pitch, bounce),
suspension position, load, speed, road
conditions, and steering to adjust the
suspension damping for optimal vehicle
control.
• Electronically power-assisted steering
adjusts steering effort and feel based on
your vehicle speed and your inputs.
• Adaptive steering optimizes your
vehicle's steering response based on
your steering wheel input, changes in
vehicle speed and other conditions. •
Active noise control utilizes your vehicle
electronics to enhance the acoustic
experience.
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control in
adverse conditions or high performance
driving.
• Electronic throttle control enhances the
powertrain response to your inputs.
Using Lincoln Drive Control
You can configure which of the Drive Control
modes are active when your vehicle is in
drive (D) or in sport (S). The configuration
remains active until modified from the main
menu on the information display.

– Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable, controlled
ride and confident handling. This mode
provides an engaging drive experience
and a direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the composure
demanded from a luxury vehicle.
• Sport
– Provides a sportier driving
experience. The suspension stiffens, with
an emphasis on handling and control.
The engine responds more directly to
your inputs and takes on a more powerful
tone. This mode is ideal for use during
more spirited driving.
You can change the drive control settings in
the information display.
See General
Information (page 112). Note:
Not all settings may be available.
Note: Lincoln Drive Control has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation. Certain types of
system errors gray out the mode selections
within the information display, preventing
