vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10 km/h).The rear sensors are active
when the transmission is in reverse
(R). As the vehicle moves closer to
the obstacle, the rate of the audible
warning increases. This system sounds
a warning tone if there is an obstacle

Silent Key Start
When you switch on the ignition, your engine may not sound like
it has started because your hybrid vehicle is equipped with silent
key start. This fuel-saving feature allows your vehicle to be ready to
drive without requiring your gas engine to be running. Look for the
green ‘ready to drive’ indicator light in your information display\
. When the light
displays, your vehicle has been successfully started and is ready to dri\
ve.
Unique Driving Characteristics
Your hybrid comes equipped with a gasoline-powered engine, an electric
motor and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery. The power-split architectu\
re
switches between electric-only mode, gas-only mode or a combination of
both. Depending on driving conditions, here’s how the power split wor\
ks:
Accelerating: Step on the gas and get all the responsiveness of a traditional
gasoline engine.
City Driving: In stop-and-go driving and at low speeds, the electric motor
provides the necessary power, with the gas engine only kicking in to rec\
harge
the battery or when more power is needed.
Cruising/Highway Driving: Due to greater power demands at highway speeds,
your vehicle uses the gasoline engine more frequently than while driving\
at city
traffic speeds. This is normal.
ECO Cruise Control: This feature saves vehicle energy by slowing down
acceleration compared to standard cruise control. Your vehicle may relax\
its
acceleration temporarily when going uphill. You can switch this feature \
on and
off through the information display. Braking:
Your vehicle is equipped with standard hydraulic braking and
regenerative braking. The regenerative braking system allows the energy \
normally lost through braking to be recovered and stored in the high-vol\
tage
battery. With this system, over 90% of braking energy normally lost thro\
ugh
friction brakes may be recovered via regenerative braking.
Stopped: To save energy, the gasoline engine usually turns off.
High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery System
The battery pack is a self-charging system and does not require regular \
service
maintenance. The battery compartment is behind the rear, fold-down seats\
.
Cabin air is drawn through vents in the rear package tray (located near\
the rear
speakers) to cool the battery. For optimal battery operation, keep thes\
e air inlets
free of any potential obstruction. The battery pack should only be servi\
ced by
an authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can result \
in
personal injury or death. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Optimizing Efficiency
EV+ allows your vehicle to learn frequent destinations and automatically ch\
ange
to electric mode when nearing your destination. The EV indicator display\
s EV+
when this mode is active. You should see this about 1/8 mile (200 meter\
s) from
a frequent destination.
Note: You can switch the EV+ feature on and off through the Driver Assist
section of the Setting menu within your information display.
Function
Lincoln Drive Control
This feature intelligently integrates chassis and steering controls for \

g
through the cluster menu to Settings, Driver Assist and then Drive Contr\
ol to
configure two additional settings:
Comfort: Provides lower steering effort and a more fluid suspension.
Sport: Increases handling and control with a sporty feel.

Configurable Daytime Running Lamps*
When you switch this feature ON in the information display, daytime runn\
ing
lamps turn on whenever the lighting control is in the autolamps position\


and the headlamps are off. You can switch the Configurable Daytime Runni\
ng
Lamps feature ON or OFF using the information display controls. See the \
Lighting chapter in your Owner’s Manual for complete information.
