Due to the nature of radar technology, there may be certain instances
where vehicles do not provide a collision warning. These include:
•
Stationary vehicles or vehicles moving below 6 mph (10 km/h).
•
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
•
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
•
Severe weather conditions (see blocked sensor section).
•
Debris build-up on the grille near the headlamps (see blocked sensor
section).
•
Small distance to vehicle ahead.
•
Steering wheel and pedal movements are large (very active driving style).
•
High interior temperatures, which may deactivate the illumination or
the warning lamps until the interior temperature reduces (audible
warning still sounds).
Certain conditions may reduce the visibility of the warning lamp;
therefore, it is recommended to keep the audible warning on.
If the front end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone
may be altered causing missed or false collision warnings. See your
authorized dealer to have your collision warning radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.
LINCOLN DRIVE CONTROL
Lincoln Drive Control delivers the Lincoln driving experience through a
suite of sophisticated electronic vehicle systems. These systems
continuously monitor both your driving inputs and the road conditions to
optimize ride comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and
sound. You can preset your preferences for these systems within the
information display. Lincoln Drive Control will respond to your
preferences based on what gear position you select. This provides a
single location to control multiple systems performance settings.
Lincoln Drive Control consists of the following systems:
•
Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) dynamically adjusts the
shock absorbers stiffness in real time to match the road surface and
driver inputs. Vehicle motion (roll, pitch, bounce), suspension
position, vehicle loading, vehicle speed, road conditions, and steering
are continuously monitored to adjust the suspension damping for
optimal vehicle control.
•
Electronically Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) adjusts steering effort
and feel based on vehicle speed and your inputs.
•
Active Noise Control (ANC) utilizes vehicle electronics to enhance the
acoustic experience.
