Active Park Assist
*
The feature detects
an available parallel
parking space and
automatically steers
the vehicle into the
space (hands-free)
while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly
instructs you to park your vehicle.
To use:
Press the
button located on the
right side of the center stack.
To stop the parking procedure,
grab the steering wheel or press
the control again. For complete
information, refer to the
Parking Aids
chapter of
your
Owner’s Manual
.
Note:
The driver is always responsible
for controlling the vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if required.
Front and Rear Parking Aids
*
The front sensors are active when the
transmission is in reverse (R) or drive
(D) and the vehicle speed is below
7 mph (12 km/h). The rear sensors
are active when the transmission is in
reverse (R) and the vehicle speed is
below 3 mph (5 km/h). As the vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the audible warning increases. Both
parking aids sound a warning tone if
there is an obstacle near the vehicle’s
front or rear bumper and increase in
frequency as the object gets closer.
Autolamps
When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position
, the headlamps
automatically turn on in low light
situations or when the wipers activate.
The headlamps remain on for a period
of time after you switch the ignition off.
Use the information display controls
to adjust the period of time that the
headlamps remain on.
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 drive.
ECOSelect
This feature is designed to offer the best possible fuel economy with only a
slight impact to vehicle performance and comfort. To activate ECOSelect, press
the
button and a graphic shows on your information display.
With ECOSelect active, you may notice:
Less aggressive heating and cooling.
Softer acceleration and changes in engine, braking and cruise
control behavior.
See the
Unique Driving Characteristics
chapter in your
Owner's Manual
for more information.
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 architecture
switches between electric-only mode, gas-only mode or a combination of
both. Depending on driving conditions, here is how the power split works:
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 recharge
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.
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-voltage
battery. With this system, over 90% of braking energy normally lost through
friction brakes may be recovered via regenerative braking.
Stopped:
To save energy, the gasoline engine usually turns off.
Optimizing Efficiency
EV+
allows your vehicle to learn frequent destinations and automatically change
to electric mode when nearing your destination. The EV indicator displays
EV+
when this mode is active. You should see this about 1/8 mile (200 meters) 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
personalized ride comfort, steering and handling.
Normal
is the factory default
setting. It delivers an engaging drive experience with confident handling.
You can change this setting through the information display by navigating through
the cluster menu to Settings, Vehicle, and then Drive Control 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
running lamps turn on when you are driving, the lighting control is in
the autolamps position
and the headlamps are off. You can switch
the Configurable Daytime Running Lamps feature ON or OFF using the
information display controls. See the
Lighting
chapter in your
Owner’s
Manual
for complete information.
