GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your
vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire. Do not start the engine in a
closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can
be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle
if you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers)
after you reconnect it. This is because
the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets
all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may
not function if the key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices such as
cellular phones.
Note: A valid key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition
on and start the engine.
Ignition Modes 161
MKZ (CC9) Starting and Stopping the EngineE164319

During certain events (such as vehicle
servicing) your low voltage 12-volt
battery may become disconnected or
disabled. Once the battery is
reconnected and after driving the
vehicle, the engine may continue to
operate for three to five seconds after
the key is turned to off. This is a
normal condition.
Braking: Your hybrid is equipped with
standard hydraulic braking and
regenerative braking. Regenerative
braking is performed by your
transmission and it captures brake
energy and stores it in your high
voltage battery.
Driving to optimize fuel economy
Note:
Having your engine running is
not always an indication of inefficiency.
In some cases, it is actually more
efficient than driving in electric mode.
Your fuel economy should improve
throughout your hybrid's break-in
period. As with any vehicle, your
driving habits and accessory usage
can significantly impact your fuel
economy. For best results, keep in
mind these tips: •
Keep the tires properly inflated and
only use the recommended size.
• Aggressive driving increases the
amount of energy required to move
your vehicle. In general, you can
achieve better fuel economy with
mild to moderate acceleration and
deceleration. Moderate braking is
particularly important since it
allows you to maximize the energy
captured by the regenerative
braking system.
Additional Tips:
• Do not carry extra loads.
• Be mindful of adding external
accessories that may increase
aerodynamic drag.
• Observe posted speed limits.
• Perform all scheduled
maintenance.
• There is no need to wait for your
engine to warm up. The vehicle is
ready to drive immediately after
starting.
EV+ Mode
Your vehicle will recognize your
frequent destinations and allow for
more EV driving as you approach
them. For example, when nearing your
home it should be easier to stay in
electric mode. The EV indicator will
display EV+ when this mode is active.
You should see this about 1/8 mile
(200 meters) from a frequent
destination. See Information
Displays (page 103).

N (Neutral)
Press the N button to put the vehicle
in N (Neutral). In neutral, the vehicle
can be started and is free to roll. Hold
the brake pedal down while in this
position.
Stay in Neutral mode
Stay in Neutral mode allows the
vehicle to stay in
N (Neutral) when
you exit the vehicle. The vehicle must
be stationary to enter this mode.
To enter Stay in Neutral mode:
1. Press the
N (Neutral) button on
the shifter assembly.
2. The message

to enter Stay in Neutral mode.
The message
Stay in Neutral mode
engaged will appear in the
instrument cluster when the vehicle
has entered Stay in Neutral mode.
Note: During this mode the
N button
will flash continuously and the
instrument cluster will display N as the
selected gear.
Exiting Stay in Neutral mode
To disable Stay in Neutral mode put
the vehicle in another gear. See the
Putting the Vehicle in Gear section
for instructions on how to do this. Entering a Carwash
Note:
Always put the vehicle in Stay
in Neutral mode when entering an
automatic car wash. Failure to do this
could result in vehicle damage that
may not be covered by warranty.
D (Drive)
The normal driving position for the
best fuel economy.
D (Drive) with Grade Assist The grade assist button is
located on the instrument
panel next the MyLincoln
Touch ™ system. Press the grade
assist button to activate and
deactivate grade assist.
Grade assist:
• Provides additional grade braking
with a combination of engine
motoring and high-voltage battery
charging to help maintain vehicle
speed when descending a grade.
• As the vehicle determines the
amount of engine motoring and
high-voltage battery charging, you
may notice the engine speed
increasing and decreasing to help
maintain your vehicle speed when
descending a grade. The grade assist lamp will
appear in the instrument
cluster when grade assist is
turned on.

5. Release the override button.
6.
The vehicle will remain in Stay in
Neutral mode for wrecker towing
purposes or can be shifted to the
desired gear and driven (if the
vehicle can be driven).
7. Release the parking brake.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In
Mud or Snow
Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the
engine is not at normal operating
temperature or damage to the
transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or
the engine may overheat.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or
snow, it may be rocked out by shifting
between forward and reverse gears,
stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the
accelerator in each gear.
HILL START ASSIST WARNINGS
The system does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave
your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake and put the vehicle in P (Park). You must remain in your vehicle
once you have activated the
system. WARNINGS
During all times, you are
responsible for controlling your
vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. If the engine is revved
excessively, or if a malfunction
is detected, the system will be
deactivated. The system makes it easier to pull
away when your vehicle is on a slope
without the need to use the parking
brake.
When the system is active, your
vehicle will remain stationary on the
slope for two to three seconds after
you release the brake pedal. This
allows you time to move your foot
from the brake to the accelerator
pedal. The brakes are released
automatically once the engine has
developed sufficient drive to prevent
your vehicle from rolling down the
slope. This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, (for example
from a car park ramp, traffic lights or
when reversing uphill into a parking
space).
The system will activate
automatically on any slope that will
cause significant vehicle rollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1.
Press the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete standstill.
Keep the brake pedal pressed.
