PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys
with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but
one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these
restricted modes.
Any keys that have not been
programmed are referred to as
administrator keys or admin keys.
These can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program configurable MyKey
settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey,
you can access the following
information using the information
display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys
are programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to
the same settings. You cannot program
them individually.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent
access with push-button start, when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent
access key fob are present, the admin
fob will be recognized by the vehicle
while switching the ignition on to start
the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be
changed by an admin key user: •
Belt-Minder. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will
mute when the front seat
occupants’ safety belts are not
fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier, giving the
MyKey user more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped
on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information
system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert, lane departure warning and
forward collision warning system.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle
the key or restart the vehicle. You can
also change the settings afterward
with an admin key.
• A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the
display followed by an audible
tone when your vehicle reaches the
set speed. You cannot override the
set speed by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal or by setting
cruise control.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or
65 mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h).
Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by
an audible tone when the
preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.

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 103).
The alertness level is shown by six
steps in a colored bar.
219
MKZ (CC9) Driving Aids

The system is designed to notify you
to stay in your lane through alerts
from the steering system and
instrument cluster when the front
camera detects an unintentional drift
out of your lane. The system
automatically detects and tracks the
road lane markings using a camera
that is mounted behind the interior
rear view mirror.
Switching the System On and
Off
Note:
The system defaults to off each
time the vehicle is started, unless a
MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is
detected, the system is defaulted to
on and the Alert mode is automatically
selected.
Note: If a MyKey® is detected,
pressing the button will not affect the
on/off status of the system. Only the
Mode and Intensity settings can be
changed when a MyKey® is present. To turn the system on, press
the button located on the left
steering wheel stalk. The
button must be pressed each time the
vehicle is started. The system can be
turned off by pressing the button
again. System Settings
The system has two optional setting
menus available. To view or adjust
them, select Settings > Driver Assist
> Lane Keeping Sys in the information
display using the OK button on the
steering wheel. The last-known
selection for each of these settings is
stored by the system. You do not need
to readjust your settings each time
you turn on the system.
Mode: This setting allows the driver
to select which of the system features
will be enabled and turned on when
the button is pressed. Alert only – Provides a steering wheel
vibration when an unintended lane
departure is detected.
221
MKZ (CC9) Driving AidsE144813 E165515 E165516

Aid only – Provides an assistance
steering torque input toward the lane
center when an unintended lane
departure is detected.
AlertA
AidB
Alert + Aid – Provides an assistance
steering torque input toward the lane
center. If the vehicle continues drifting
out of the lane, a steering wheel
vibration is provided.
Note: The alert and aid diagrams are
meant to illustrate general zone
coverage. They are not intended to
provide the exact zone parameters.
Intensity: This setting affects the
intensity of the steering wheel
vibration used for the alert and alert
+ aid modes. This setting does not
impact the aid mode.
• Low
• Medium
• High System Display
When the system is turned on, an
overhead graphic of a vehicle with
lane markings will be displayed in the
information display. If the aid mode is
selected when the system is turned
on, a separate white icon will also
appear in the instrument cluster or in
some vehicles arrows will be
displayed with the lane markings.
When the system is turned off, the
lane marking graphics will not be
displayed.
Note:
The overhead vehicle graphic
may still be displayed if adaptive cruise
control is enabled.
While the system is on, the color of
the lane markings will change to
indicate the system status.
Gray: Indicates that the system is
temporarily unable to provide a
warning or intervention on the
indicated side(s). This may be
because:
• the vehicle is under the activation
speed
• the turn indicator is active

BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS®) with Cross Traffic
Alert (If Equipped)
WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use
the BLIS as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors
and looking over your shoulder before
changing lanes. BLIS is not a
replacement for careful driving and
only an assist. BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot
zone (A). The detection area is on
both sides of the vehicle, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to
approximately 10 feet (3 meters)
beyond the bumper. The system alerts
you if certain vehicles enter the blind
spot zone while driving.
Cross traffic alert warns you of
vehicles approaching from the sides
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse). Note:
BLIS is not designed to prevent
contact with other vehicles or objects;
or to detect parked vehicles, people,
animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees, etc.). It is designed to
alert the driver to vehicles in the blind
zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.
Using the Systems
BLIS turns on when the vehicle is
started and is driven forward above 5
mph (8 km/h); it remains on while the
transmission is in D (Drive) and N
(Neutral). If shifted out of D (Drive) or
N (Neutral), the system enters cross
traffic alert mode. Once shifted back
into D (Drive), BLIS turns back on
when the vehicle is driven above 5
mph (8 km/h).
Note: BLIS does not function in R
(Reverse) or P (Park) or provide any
additional warning when a turn signal
is on.
Note: Cross traffic alert detects
approaching vehicles from up to 45
feet (14 meters) away though coverage
decreases when the sensors are
blocked. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.
225
MKZ (CC9) Driving AidsA

E124788

Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at shallow angles. Here, the
left sensor is mostly obstructed; zone
coverage on that side is severely
limited.
System Lights and Messages
The BLIS and cross traffic alert
systems illuminate a yellow alert
indicator in the outside mirror on the
side of the vehicle the approaching
vehicle is coming from. Note:
The alert indicator dims when
nighttime darkness is detected.
Cross traffic alert also sounds an
audible warning and a message
appears in the information display
indicating a vehicle is coming from the
right or left. Cross traffic alert works
with the reverse sensing system which
sounds its own series of tones. See
Parking Aid (page 199).
System Sensors WARNING
Just prior to the system
recognizing a blocked condition
and alerting the driver, the number of
missed objects will increase. To help
avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS as
a replacement for using the side and
rear view mirrors and looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS
is not a replacement for careful driving
and only an assist. 227
