Warning chime LINCOLN MKS 2013 User Guide

DRIVER ALERT (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:The driver alert system is designed to aid you. It is
not intended to replace your attention and judgment. You are still
responsible to drive with due care and attention.
Note:The system will store the on/off setting in the information display
menu through ignition cycles.
Note:If enabled in the menu, the system will be active above the
40 mph (64 km/h).
Note:The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by
the camera.
Note:If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the
system may not function.
Note:The system may not be available in poor weather or other low
visibility conditions.
The system automatically monitors your driving behavior using various
inputs including the front camera sensor.
If the system detects that your driving alertness is reduced below a
certain threshold, the system will alert you using a chime and a message
in the cluster display
Switching the System On and Off
By default, the system is enabled. You may disable or re-enable the
system by selecting Setting then Driver Assist then Driver Alert in the
menu. When activated, the system will monitor your alertness level based
upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings, and other
factors.
System Warnings
Note:The system will not issue warnings below approximately 40 mph
(65 km/h).
The warning system is in two stages. At first the system issues a
temporary warning that you need to take a rest. This message will only
appear for a short time. If the system detects further reduction in driving
alertness, another warning may be issued which will remain in the
information display for a longer time. Press OK on the steering wheel
control to clear the warning.

If it is, a red warning light
illuminates and an audible warning
chime sounds.
The brake support system assists the driver in reducing the collision
speed by charging the brakes. If the risk of collision further increases
after the warning light illuminates, the brake support prepares the brake
system for rapid braking. This may be apparent to the driver. The system
does not automatically activate the brakes but, if the brake pedal is
pressed, full force braking is applied even if the brake pedal is lightly
pressed.
Using the Collision Warning System
WARNING:The collision warning system’s brake support can
only help reduce the speed at which a collision occurs if the
driver applies the vehicle’s brakes. The brake pedal must be pressed
just like any typical braking situation.
The warning system and chime can be turned on and off separately; the
warning system sensitivity can be adjusted to one of three possible
settings by using the information display control. Refer to the
Information Displayschapter.
Note:If the system cannot be turned off in a vehicle equipped with
MyKey, refer to theMyKeychapter.
Note:If collision warnings are perceived as being too frequent or
disturbing then the warning sensitivity can be reduced, though the
manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system
warnings. Refer to theInformation Displayschapter for instructions on
reducing the sensitivity.
