lock LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 User Guide

The safety belt system consists of:
•
lap and shoulder safety belts.
• shoulder safety belt with
automatic locking mode, (except
driver safety belt).
• height adjuster at the front
outboard seating positions.
• safety belt pretensioner at the
front outboard seating positions.
• belt tension sensor at the front
outboard passenger seating
position. •
Safety belt warning light and
chime. •
Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
The safety belt pretensioners at the
front seating positions are designed
to tighten the safety belts when
activated. In frontal and near-frontal
crashes, the safety belt pretensioners
may be activated alone or, if the crash
is of sufficient severity, together with
the front airbags. The pretensioners
may also activate when a side curtain
airbag is deployed.
FASTENING THE SAFETY
BELTS
Standard belts shown, inflatable
belts similar The front outboard and rear safety
restraints in the vehicle are

Restraint of Pregnant Women
WARNING
Always ride and drive with your
seatback upright and the safety
belt properly fastened. The lap portion
of the safety belt should fit snug and
be positioned low across the hips. The
shoulder portion of the safety belt
should be positioned across the chest.
Pregnant women should also follow
this practice. See the following figure. Pregnant women should always wear
their safety belt. The lap belt portion
of a combination lap and shoulder
belt should be positioned low across
the hips below the belly and worn as
tight as comfort will allow. The
shoulder belt should be positioned to
cross the middle of the shoulder and
the center of the chest. Safety Belt Locking Modes WARNINGS
After any vehicle crash, the
safety belt system at all
passenger seating positions must be
checked by an authorized dealer to
verify that the automatic locking
retractor feature for child seats is still
functioning properly. In addition, all
safety belts should be checked for
proper function. Belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the safety
belt assembly automatic locking
retractor feature or any other safety
belt function is not operating properly
when checked by an authorized
dealer. Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase the
risk of injury in crashes. All safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts.
The driver safety belt has the first type
of locking mode, and the front
outboard passenger and rear seat
safety belts have both types of locking
modes described as follows:
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode,
which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and
locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver
brakes suddenly or turns a corner
33
MKZ (CC9) Safety BeltsE142590

sharply, or the vehicle receives an
impact of approximately 5 mph (8
km/h) or more, the combination
safety belts will lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and
passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed
to lock if the webbing is pulled out too
quickly. If this occurs, let the belt
retract slightly and pull webbing out
again in a slow and controlled
manner.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically pre-locked. The belt
will still retract to remove any slack in
the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the
driver safety belt.
When to Use the Automatic
Locking Mode
This mode should be used any time a
child safety seat, except a booster, is
installed in passenger front or rear
seating positions. Children 12 years old
and under should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position
whenever possible. See Child Safety
(page 15).
How to Use the Automatic Locking
Mode
Non-inflatable safety belts 1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt
is pulled out. As the belt retracts,
you will hear a clicking sound. This
indicates the safety belt is now in
the automatic locking mode.
Rear outboard inflatable safety
belts (second row only –if
equipped) 1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the lap portion of the belt and pull upward until the entire
belt is pulled out.
34
MKZ (CC9) Safety BeltsE142591 E146363

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a
clicking sound. This indicates the
safety belt is now in the automatic
locking mode.
How to Disengage the Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the
automatic locking mode and activate
the vehicle sensitive (emergency)
locking mode.
Rear Inflatable Safety Belt (If
Equipped) WARNING
Do not attempt to service, repair,
or modify the rear inflatable
safety belt. The rear inflatable safety belts are
fitted in the shoulder portion of the
safety belts of the second-row
outboard seating positions.
Note:
The rear inflatable safety belts
are compatible with most infant and
child safety car seats and belt
positioning booster seats when
properly installed. This is because they
are designed to fill with a cooled gas
at a lower pressure and at a slower rate
than traditional airbags. After inflation,
the shoulder portion of the safety belt
remains cool to the touch. The rear inflatable safety belt consists
of the following:
•
An inflatable bag located in the
shoulder safety belt webbing.
• Lap safety belt webbing with
automatic locking mode.
• The same warning light, electronic
control and diagnostic unit as used
for the front safety belts.
• Impact sensors located in various
parts of the vehicle.
How does the rear inflatable safety
belt system work?
The rear inflatable safety belts will
function like standard restraints in
everyday usage. During a crash of sufficient force, the
inflatable belt will inflate from inside
the webbing.

1. Press the button and slide the
height adjuster up or down. 2. Release the button and pull down
on the height adjuster to make
sure it is locked in place.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment. The term IC before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote
start feature will have a greater range.
One of the following could cause a
decrease in operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions, for example amateur
radios, medical equipment, wireless
headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use
your remote control. You can lock and
unlock the doors with the key.
Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle
before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote
control will operate if you press any
button unintentionally.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency
signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to
unlock when one of the following
conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of the front
exterior door handle.
• You press the luggage
compartment button.
• You press a button on the
transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area or
if the transmitter battery is low, you
may need to mechanically unlock your
door. You can use the mechanical key
blade in your intelligent access key to
open the driver door in this situation.
See
Remote Control (page 53).
