wiring LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2014 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
Have the battery pack serviced only
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 labeled as such
or 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 turns
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 the high-voltage
disconnect circuit. To do this, you must
unplug the circuit from the circuit port
connected to the battery.
The service disconnect is equipped with
an outer lever. This is to aid in properly
seating the service disconnect lever.
Remove this to disconnect the
high-voltage service disconnect.
The high-voltage service disconnect is
located behind the rear fold down seats.
