AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake
fully and make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park). Turn the ignition off
whenever you leave your vehicle. Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than three
seconds will limit engine rpm, which
may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to
serious injury. Push Button Shift
Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic transmission. The shift
buttons are located on the instrument
panel, next to the MyLincoln Touch
™
system. The gears are selected by
pressing and releasing the
PRNDL
buttons. Every time a gear is selected, the
selected button will light up. You will
also see the gear selected appear in
the instrument cluster.
Understanding the Positions of
your Electronic Transmission
Note:
Always come to a complete stop
before putting your vehicle into and out
of
P (Park).
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Press and release the button on the instrument panel of the gear
you want to select.
3. The gear shift button you select will illuminate and the instrument
cluster will show the selected gear.
4. Release the brake pedal and your transmission will remain in the
selected gear.

best fuel economy.
D (Drive) with Grade Assist The grade assist button is
located on the instrument
panel next the MyLincoln
Touch ™ system. Press the grade
assist button to activate and
deactivate grade assist.
Grade assist:
• Provides additional grade braking
with a combination of engine
motoring and high-voltage battery
charging to help maintain vehicle
speed when descending a grade.
• As the vehicle determines the
amount of engine motoring and
high-voltage battery charging, you
may notice the engine speed
increasing and decreasing to help
maintain your vehicle speed when
descending a grade. The grade assist lamp will
appear in the instrument
cluster when grade assist is
turned on.

Brake-Shift Interlock Override WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until
you verify that the brake lamps
are working. When doing this procedure, you
will be taking the vehicle out of
park which means the vehicle can roll
freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the
parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheel chocks if
appropriate. If the parking brake is fully
released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. See your
authorized dealer. Note:
See your authorized dealer as
soon as possible if this procedure is
used.
Note: For some markets this feature
will be disabled.
Note: This feature will only function if
your 12-volt battery has power. Use the brake-shift interlock override
procedure to put the vehicle in gear in
the event of an electrical malfunction
or if your vehicle has a dead battery.
The brake shift interlock override
button is located inside of the center
console, below media inputs. You will
need a tool (for example a screwdriver
or similar tool) to access the button.
1. Apply the parking brake and turn
the ignition off before performing
this procedure. 2. Locate the brake shifter interlock
access slot. The slot is located
below the media hub, in the front
of the center console storage bin
and it is not labeled
Note: Make sure that you correctly
identify the access hole as not to
damage the media hub.
3. Using a tool, press and hold the brake shift interlock switch. When
the instrument panel buttons
flash, the vehicle is in override
mode.
4. With the override switch still held, press the
N (Neutral button) for
towing, or the desired gear to shift
from Park.

Regenerative Braking System
This feature is used to simulate the
engine braking of an internal
combustion engine and assist the
standard brake system while
recovering some of the energy of
motion and storing it in the battery to
improve fuel economy. The standard
brake system is designed to fully stop
the car if regenerative braking is not
available. During regenerative braking,
the motor is spun as a generator to
create electrical current. This
recharges the battery and slows the
vehicle. In effect, once the accelerator
pedal is released, the motor changes
from an energy user to an energy
producer.
When you release the accelerator
pedal or press the brake pedal, the
brake controller automatically detects
the amount of deceleration requested
and optimizes how much of the
deceleration will be produced by
regenerative braking. The remaining
portion is generated by standard
friction braking. When the battery is
almost fully charged, the amount of
regenerative braking is limited to avoid
overcharging, and the requested
deceleration is produced by standard
friction braking alone.
Regenerative braking does not take
the place of the standard friction
brakes; it only assists them.
Regenerative braking has also been
designed to interact with the anti-lock
brake system. Regenerative braking
is disabled when the anti-lock brake
system is activated or the battery is
fully charged.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Note:
When the system is operating,
the brake pedal will pulse and may
travel further. Maintain pressure on the
brake pedal. You may also hear a noise
from the system. This is normal.
The anti-lock braking system will not
eliminate the risks when:
• you drive too closely to the vehicle
in front of you
• your vehicle is hydroplaning
• you take corners too fast
• the road surface is poor.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake replaces
the conventional handbrake. The
operating switch is located on the
instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel. WARNING
Always set the parking brake and
leave your vehicle with the
transmission selector in position P. Note:
When you apply the electric
parking brake in certain conditions, for
example on a steep hill, the electric
parking brake may reapply the brakes
within three to ten minutes.
Note: You may notice various noises
when you apply and release the electric
parking brake. This is normal and no
cause for concern.

REAR VIEW CAMERA (IF
EQUIPPED) WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is
a reverse aid supplement device
that still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and
exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage. Objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the
screen due to the limited coverage of
the camera system. Back up as slow as possible
since higher speeds might limit
your reaction time to stop the vehicle. Use caution when using the rear
video camera and the trunk is
ajar. If the trunk is ajar, the camera will
be out of position and the video image
may be incorrect. All guidelines (if
enabled) have been removed when
the trunk is ajar. Use caution when turning
camera features on or off while
in R (Reverse). Make sure the vehicle
is not moving. The rear view camera system provides
a video image of the area behind the
vehicle. The image will be displayed
in either in the rear view mirror or the
display in the center of the instrument
panel. During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle
’s
path and proximity to objects behind
the vehicle. The camera is located on the trunk
near the high-mount brake lamp.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you
place the transmission in R (Reverse).
The system uses three types of guides
to help you see what is behind your
vehicle:
•
Active guidelines: Show the
intended path of your vehicle when
reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual
path your vehicle is moving in while
reversing in a straight line. This can
be helpful when backing into a
parking space or aligning your
vehicle with another object behind
you.
• Centerline (If applicable): Helps
align the center of your vehicle
with an object (i.e. a trailer).
