wiring LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
This battery pack shall only be
serviced by an authorized electric
vehicle technician. Improper handling
can result in personal injury or death. Note:
The high-voltage battery does
not require regular service
maintenance.
Your vehicle consists of various
high-voltage components and wiring.
All of the high-voltage power flows
through specific wiring assemblies
which are labeled as such or are
covered with a solid orange convolute,
or orange striped tape, or both. Do not
come in contact with these
components.
The high-voltage battery system is a
high-voltage, lithium-ion battery
system. The pack is located in the rear
cargo area. The high-voltage battery
system uses an air cooled system to
regulate the high-voltage battery
temperature and help maximize
high-voltage battery life. Note:
The high-voltage battery is
equipped with air vents in the package
tray that help to regulate its
temperature. It is important to keep
these openings free of obstructions. Do
not block the flow of cabin air to this
area.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE
DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect
shuts off power from the high-voltage
battery.
Note: There is a disconnect circuit in
your vehicle. Disconnecting the circuit
will automatically disable the
high-voltage battery.
To disable the battery and stop all
high-voltage electric activity in the
vehicle you can access high-voltage
disconnect circuit. To do this, you
must unplug the circuit from the
circuit port connected to the battery.
The high-voltage service disconnect
