Here is a link to the 2010 MKS mini-site. It would be nice if the new collision warning would stop the vehicle if needed. Perhaps if it works in conjunction with the adaptive cruise control?

Replying to: rsblaski (Apr 12, 2009 12:05 am) With adaptive cruise control, and the ability of a car to "read" the lines on the highway (I saw a piece on one of the Discovery type channels), . Volvo is using a technology called "city-safe" or something like that. The radar from the adaptive cruise control tracks targets, but that is primarily for the ACC and stop and go functions. The tracking for in the city is based off high mounted radar, I believe, behind the rear-view mirror. Depending on vehicle speed, it uses data to minimize or avoid a crash by braking. Lane departure warning is in a few cars currently, it uses a camera (usually mounted behind the mirror) to monitor the lane markings on the road. Based on those lane markings (and if the car's turn signals are on or not) it will warn the driver if the car gets too close or crosses the markings. The next step is to actually steer the car back in the lane. it appears we are getting closer to having a car that will drive itself--just hook everything into a navigation device, then just open a book, watch a dvd or take a nap and the car will let you know when you've arrived Alas, we already have those, they are called trains. That aside, there are sensors that disable the systems if it senses there are no hands on the steering wheel. It also tracks how much weaving the driver is doing and suggests taking a break if necessary. |

| We just bought a 2009 MKS. We're confused about how the keyless entry works. We have had keyless entry for years, on Town Cars, Mountaineer, etc. Our salesman kept talking about "second generation keyless entry" and how you can no longer leave the keys in the car, when locking and leaving the vehicle, because if the key is in the car, anyone can walk up to it and get in the car. Makes no sense to me. Can you explain how the keyless entry works and why you would no longer leave the key in the car? | |
I understand that I can copy songs from a CD to the Jukebox. Can I copy songs from an iPod (iPhone) to the Jukebox?

Replying to: bkford (Apr 20, 2009 4:51 am) Can you explain why you didn't read the owner's manual? They print them and put them in the glovebox for a reason. If you use the keyless entry pad to lock the car with the keyfob inside - it will lock the car and disable the fob until you unlock the car with the keypad.

Replying to: bkford (Apr 20, 2009 4:59 am) No. It's separate from the Sync module. |

Replying to: bkford (Apr 20, 2009 4:51 am) When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door lock control (with the door open), after you close the door the vehicle will search for a Intelligent Access Key in the passenger compartment. If a Intelligent Access Key is found inside the vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating that the Intelligent Access Key is inside. In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the Intelligent Access Key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using your keyless entry keypad or using the control on another Intelligent Access Key. Refer to Keyless entry system in this chapter for more information on keyless entry keypad operation. Would you expect a car salesman to know how his/her product functions?
