The system will resume operation when
you release the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle speed will decrease to the set
speed, or a lower speed if following a
slower vehicle.

speed, then press and release SET+.
• Press and hold
SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
will gradually change to the selected
speed.

•
Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your inputs.
These systems have a range of modes
which you can choose from in order to
customize your ideal driving experience:
• Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience, maximizing
comfort. Your steering effort decreases
and the suspension movement is more
fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when you
desire enhanced traveling comfort.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable, controlled
ride and confident handling. This mode
provides an engaging drive experience
and a direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from a luxury
vehicle.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. The suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes on a
more powerful tone. Sport mode is
ideal for use during more spirited
driving.
Using Lincoln Drive Control
You can configure which of the Drive
Control modes are active when your
vehicle is in Drive (D) or in Sport (S). The
configuration remains active until modified
from the main menu on the information
display. To change your vehicle
’s Drive Control
settings from the main menu on the
information display:
1. Choose Settings.
2. Choose Vehicle.
3. Choose Drive Control.
4. Select the shift position you would like
to configure, either D or S.
5. Choose from Comfort, Normal, or Sport
modes as your preferred setting in
D.
6. Choose from Normal or Sport modes as your preferred setting in S.
Note: Lincoln Drive Control has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the
system to ensure proper operation.
Certain types of system errors will gray
out the mode selections within the
information display, preventing you from
changing states when the gear position
is changed. Other types of errors will
produce a temporary message that states
Drive Control Malfunction. If either
condition persists for multiple key cycles,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
