Lincoln MKC (2019 year). Manual - part 6

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps

Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes in
air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can occur when
the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on
the interior of the lens. The fine mist
eventually clears and exits through the vents
during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

•

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:
•

A water puddle inside the lamp.

•

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

Lighting

Type One - Conventional (Non-
Configurable)

The daytime running lamps turn on when:
1. Switching the ignition on.
2. The transmission is not in park (P) for

vehicles with automatic transmissions, or
releasing the parking brake for vehicles
with manual transmissions.

3. The lighting control is in the off, parking

lamp or autolamps positions.

4. The headlamps are off.

Type Two - Configurable

Switch the daytime running lamps on or off
using the information display.  See
Information Displays (page 108).

The daytime running lamps turn on when:
1. The lamps are on in the information

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL

 (If Equipped)

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due

care and attention. You may need to override
the system if it does not turn the high beams
on or off.

The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns off high beams before they can
distract other road users. Low beams remain
on.

Note: The system may not operate properly
if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield
free from obstruction or damage.

Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.

Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message may
appear in the information display if the
camera is blocked.

Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

MKC (TME) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201802, First Printing

Lighting

A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind

•

The ambient light level is low enough.

•

There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.

•

The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).

The high beams turn off if:
•

The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.

•

The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.

•

The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).

•

The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.

•

The camera is blocked.

Switching the System On and Off

Switch the system on using the information
display.   See Information Displays (page

Note: Moisture, frost and ice build-up or
other types of contamination on the surface
