Hilly Condition Usage; Detection Issues; Turning Off Cruise Control - Lincoln MKT Owner's Manual

Driver Controls

Hilly condition usage

It is recommended that the driver select a lower gear position when ACC
is active in situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep grades
(i.e., driving in mountainous areas). In these situations, additional engine
braking is needed to reduce the load on the vehicle's regular brake
system to prevent them from overheating. For more information,
reference Automatic transmission operation in the Driving chapter.
Note: If ACC is applying brakes for an extended period of time, an
audible alarm will sound, the head's up display will flash and ACC will
shut down. This is to allow the brakes to cool down. When the brakes
have cooled down, the ACC will again function normally.

Turning off cruise control

Press the OFF button to turn off the
cruise control.
Note: When you turn off the cruise
control or the ignition, your cruise
control set speed memory is erased.

Detection issues

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may
not detect vehicles at all or detect a vehicle later than expected.
Detection issues can occur:
• When driving on a different line than the vehicle in front.
