lights LINCOLN MKZ 2013 Owners Manual

The Personal Safety System provides
an improved overall level of frontal
crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to help
further reduce the risk of
airbag-related injuries. The system is
able to analyze different occupant
conditions and crash severity before
activating the appropriate safety
devices to help better protect a range
of occupants in a variety of frontal
crash situations.
Your vehicle's Personal Safety System
consists of:
•
Driver and passenger dual-stage
airbag supplemental restraints.
• Front outboard safety belts with
pretensioners, energy
management retractors (first row
only), and safety belt usage
sensors.
• Driver ’s seat position sensor.
• Front passenger sensing system.
• Passenger airbag off and on
indicator lamp.
• Front crash severity sensors.
• Restraints Control Module with
impact and safing sensors.
• Restraint system warning light and
backup tone.
• The electrical wiring for the
airbags, crash sensor(s), safety
belt pretensioners, front safety belt
usage sensors, driver seat position
sensor, front passenger sensing
system, and indicator lights. How Does the Personal Safety
System Work?
The Personal Safety System can
adapt the deployment strategy of
your vehicle
’s safety devices
according to crash severity and
occupant conditions. A collection of
crash and occupant sensors provides
information to the Restraints Control
Module. During a crash, the Restraints
Control Module may activate the
safety belt pretensioners and may
activate either one or both stages of
the dual-stage airbag supplemental
restraints based on crash severity and
occupant conditions.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on
your high beams if it is dark enough
and no other traffic is present. When
it detects an approaching vehicle ’s
headlights, a preceding vehicle ’s tail
lamps or street lighting, the system
will turn off the high beams before
they distract other drivers. The low
beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic
control of the high beams is not
functioning properly, check the
windshield in front of the camera for
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Any windshield damage in the area of
the camera field-of-view should be
repaired.
Note: If a blockage is detected (e.g.
bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or
ice) and no changes are observed, the
system will go into low beam mode
until the blockage is cleared. A
message may also appear in the
instrument cluster display noting the
front camera is blocked. Note:
Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the automatic high
beam system ’s performance. However,
in cold or inclement weather
conditions, the automatic high beam
system's availability may be decreased.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
turn the high beams ON or OFF using
the multifunction switch lever.
Automatic control will resume when
conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height (e.g. using much larger tires)
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle,
and monitors conditions continuously
to decide when to switch the high
beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high
beams will switch on if:
• The ambient light level is low
enough that high beams are
needed.
• There is no traffic in front of the
vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
25 mph (40 km/h)
.
The high beams will switch off if:
• An approaching vehicle's
headlights or a preceding vehicle's
tail lamps are detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high
enough that high beams are not
required.

Lighting

The image of the approaching vehicle
is small and near the inboard edge of
the main mirror when it is at a
distance. The image becomes larger
and begins to move outboard across
the main mirror as the vehicle
approaches (A). The image will
transition from the main mirror and
begin to appear in the blind spot
mirror as the vehicle approaches (B).
The vehicle will transition to your
peripheral field of view as it leaves the
blind spot mirror (C).
Blind Spot Monitor (If Equipped)
See
Blind Spot Monitor (page 212).
INTERIOR MIRROR WARNING
Do not adjust the mirror when
your vehicle is moving.
Note:
Do not clean the housing or
glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum or
ammonia-based cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to
your preference. Some mirrors also
have a second pivot point. This lets
you move the mirror head up or down
and from side to side. Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note:
Do not block the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror. Mirror
performance may be affected. A rear
center passenger or raised rear center
head restraint may also block light
from reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to
reduce glare when bright lights are
detected from behind your vehicle. It
will automatically return to normal
reflection when you select reverse
gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up.
SUN VISORS Rotate the sun visor toward the side
window and extend it rearward for
extra shade.

WARNING
People who are unable to feel
pain to their skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions, must
exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the heated seat to overheat. Do
not puncture the seat with pins,
needles or other pointed objects. This
may damage the heating element
which may cause the heated seat to
overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water
or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry
thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless
the engine is running. Doing so can
cause the battery to lose charge. Press the heated seat symbol to cycle
through the various heat settings and
off. Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.

heater. The seat heater may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion, because this
may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Do not puncture the seat
with pins, needles, or other pointed
objects because this may damage the
heating element which may cause the
seat heater to overheat. An
overheated seat may cause serious
personal injury. Note:
Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the seat heater if water or
any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry
thoroughly.

symbol/button to cycle through
the various heat settings and off.
Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.
• Press again to deactivate.
The heated seat module resets at
every ignition run cycle. While the
ignition is on, activating the high or low
heated seat switch enables heating
mode. When activated, they will turn
off automatically when the engine is
turned off.
VENTILATED SEATS (IF
EQUIPPED)
The cooled seats will only function
when the engine is running.
To operate the cooled seats: Press the cooled seat symbol to cycle
through the various cooling settings
and off. Cooler settings are indicated
by more indicator lights.
If the engine falls below 350 rpms
while the cooled seats are on, the
feature will turn itself off and will need
to be reactivated.
Heated and cooled seat air
filter replacement (if
equipped)
The climate controlled seat system
includes air filters that must be
replaced periodically.
The filters are located under each
front seat and can be accessed from
the second row foot-well area. Move
the front seats all the way forward
and to the full up positions to ease
access.
