Front Camera LINCOLN MKZ 2014 Owners Manual

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 the headlights of an
approaching vehicle, the tail lamps of
the preceding vehicle 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 a
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Have any windshield damage in the
area of the camera’s field-of-view
repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage
such as bird droppings, bug splatter,
snow or ice, and you do not observe
changes, the system will go into low
beam mode until you clear the
blockage. 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 performance
of the automatic high beam system .
However, in cold or inclement weather
conditions, you will notice a decrease
in the availability of the high beam
system, especially at start up. If you
want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
switch the high beams on or off using
the multifunction switch. Automatic
control will resume when conditions
are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height such as using much larger tires,
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions 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
• 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:
• the system detects the headlamps of an approaching vehicle or the
tail lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (25 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not
required

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 at speeds above
40 mph (64 km/h). When below the
activation speed, the information
display will inform the driver that the
system is unavailable.
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
information display.
Using Driver Alert
Switching the system on and off
You may switch the system on or off
through the information display by
selecting Settings 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: Note: The system will not issue
warnings below approximately 40 mph
(64 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
System Display
When active the system will run
automatically in the background and
only issue a warning if required. You
can view the status at any time using
the information display. See General
Information (page 101).
The alertness level is shown by six
steps in a colored bar.
