Parking Aids; Principle Of Operation - Lincoln MKZ 2017 Owner's Manual

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
The system may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb reflection.
Always drive with due care and attention.
Failure to take care may result in a crash.
To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
The system may not detect small or
moving objects, particularly those close
to the ground.
Note: Some add-on accessories such as
large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
can cause reduced performance or false
alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do not
clean the sensors with sharp objects.

Parking Aids

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
Note: The sensing system cannot be turned
off when a MyKey is present. See Principle
of Operation (page 60).
Note: Some add-on accessories such as
large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
can cause reduced performance or false
alerts.
We recommend that you take some time to
get to know the system and its limitations by
reading this section.
The system may provide display or sound
warnings when the detected obstacle is 12 in
(30 cm) or less from the bumper.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system automatically turns on
each time you switch the ignition on.

If your vehicle does not have a
parking aid button, the system can be
switched off through the information display
menu or from the pop-up message that
appears once you shift the transmission into
reverse (R). See General Information (page

If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display
and does not allow you to switch the system
on.
