Essential Information

Pre-Collision Assist*

The system warns you of certain collision

risks. The system’s sensor detects your

vehicle’s rapid approach to other vehicles

traveling in the same direction as your

vehicle. The system is designed to provide

three levels of functionality.

You can adjust your warning system to any

one of three possible settings:

1. Alert: When activated, a red warning light ashes, an audible warning tone

sounds and a warning message shows in the information display.

2. Brake Support: The brake support system assists the driver in reducing the

collision speed by lightly applying the brakes. If the risk of collision further

increases after the warning light illuminates, the brake support prepares

the brake system for rapid braking. This may be apparent to the driver.

The system does not automatically activate the brakes, but if you press

the brake pedal, the system may apply full force, even if the brake pedal is

lightly pressed.

3. Active Braking: Active braking may activate if the system determines that a

collision is imminent. The system may help the driver reduce impact damage

or avoid the crash completely.

Note: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is

moving and brake when necessary. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety

information, more details and limitations.

Lane Keeping System*

This system uses a camera mounted behind the interior mirror to detect

unintentional drifting toward the outside of your lane. If drifting is detected, the

system will vibrate the steering wheel (Alert mode) or assist the driver by steering

back toward the center of the lane (Aid mode ) or both (Alert + Aid mode). Press

the button located on the left steering wheel stalk to switch the system on or o.

For more details, refer to the Driving Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that illuminates a low tire

pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of

your tires are under-inated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon

as possible. Inate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s

Manual for more information.

Tire Sealant and Inator Kit*

The kit is located under the load oor in the rear cargo area. The kit consists of

an air compressor to re-inate the tire and a canister of sealing compound that

will eectively seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. This kit

provides a temporary tire repair. For complete details, refer to the Wheels and

Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

Open Window Bueting

You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower the

opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.

Refueling

With this system, put your transmission in park (P) and switch o the ignition. Open

the fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. Wait at least 10 seconds after

pumping fuel before removing the fuel ller nozzle. This allows residual fuel to

drain back into the fuel tank and not spill onto the vehicle.

Running Out of Fuel

When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the

spare wheel storage tray), and pour the fuel into the funnel. When done, clean

the funnel or properly dispose of it. You can purchase extra funnels from your

authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the

capless fuel system and may cause damage.

Note: Avoid running out of fuel because it can cause damage not covered by the

vehicle warranty.

Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info

All-wheel drive vehicles have an 18.5 gallon (70.0 liter) fuel tank capacity and

front-wheel drive vehicles have an 18.4 gallon (69.5 liter) fuel tank capacity. Use

only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol

and a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel

or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system.

Towing Your MKX

Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Refer to

the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your

Owner’s Manual.

Auto Hold

Auto Hold can assist you while stopping at traffic lights or while in traffic jams by

holding the brakes when you stop the vehicle. Press the AUTO HOLD button to

switch the system on. The AUTO HOLD button illuminates. When the system is on

and actively holding the vehicle, AUTO HOLD displays in the instrument cluster.

When you press the accelerator pedal, Auto Hold automatically releases

the brakes. In certain situations, Auto Hold may apply the electric parking

brake and illuminate the brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster.

Auto Hold turns off when you power down your vehicle, or you can switch

the feature off manually by pressing the AUTO HOLD button. Switch

Auto Hold off if you are towing a trailer or having the vehicle towed.

See the Brakes chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more details.

Automatic Engine Shutdown

This feature automatically shuts down the engine if it has been idling for an

extended period of time. The ignition also turns o in order to save battery

power. Before your vehicle shuts down, a message appears in the information

display showing a timer counting down. If you do not intervene within 30

seconds, your vehicle shuts down. Another message appears in the information

display to inform you that your vehicle has shut down to save fuel. Start your

vehicle as normal.

You can override this feature temporarily by pressing the brake or accelerator

pedal or by pressing OK or the RESET button in your information display.

Refer to the Information Displays chapter of your Owner’s Manual for

more details.

parking space. Press the button, and then follow the instructions on the

display. Use your direction indicator to signal from which side of your vehicle you

want to exit the parking space. After the system has directed your vehicle past

the adjacent vehicle or object, it guides you to take control of the steering wheel

to complete the exit from the parking spot.

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.

Adaptive Steering*

The adaptive steering system continually changes the steering ratio with changes

to the vehicle speed, optimizing the steering response in all conditions.

You can change the settings in the information display. Refer to your Owner’s

Manual for more details.

Note: The adaptive steering system includes a locking device that may make a

sound when you start or switch o your vehicle.

Lincoln Drive Control*

Lincoln Drive Control delivers the Lincoln driving experience through a suite of

sophisticated electronic vehicle systems.

These systems continuously monitor 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.

These systems have a range of modes from which you can choose in order to

customize your ideal driving experience:
