Lincoln Corsair: Driving Aids / Driver Alert

WARNING: You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times. The system is designed to be an aid and does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system may not function if the sensor is blocked.

WARNING: Take regular rest breaks if you feel tired. Do not wait for the system to warn you.

WARNING: Certain driving styles may result in the system warning you even if you are not feeling tired.

WARNING: In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance.

WARNING: The system will not operate if the sensor cannot track the road lane markings.

WARNING: If damage occurs in the immediate area surrounding the sensor, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

WARNING: The system may not correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted with a suspension kit not approved by us.

Note: If enabled in the menu, the system activates at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). When below the activation speed, the information display informs the driver that the system is unavailable.

Note: Keep the windshield free from obstructions. For example, bird droppings, insects and snow or ice.

Note: If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the system may not function.

The system automatically monitors your driving behavior using various inputs, including the front camera sensor.

If the system detects that your driving alertness reduces below a certain threshold, the system alerts you using a tone and a message in the information display.

Using Driver Alert

Switching the system on and off

You can switch the system on or off through the information display. When active, the system monitors your alertness level based upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings and other factors.

System Warnings

Note: The system does not issue warnings below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h).

The warning system has two stages. First, the system issues a temporary warning stating that you need to take a rest. This message only appears for a short time. If the system detects your driving alertness reduces further, it may issue another warning which remains in the information display for a longer time. Press OK on the steering wheel control to clear the warning.

System Display

When active, the system runs automatically in the background and only issues a warning when required.

Note: If you receive a warning you should consider resting, even if the current assessment is within the typical range.

Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the road lane markings or if your vehicle speed drops below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h), the alertness level changes to grey for a short time and the information display informs you that the system is unavailable.

Resetting the System

You can reset the system by either:

• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening and closing the driver’s door.
