LINCOLN DRIVE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Lincoln Drive Control delivers the Lincoln driving experience through a
suite of sophisticated electronic vehicle systems. These systems
continuously monitor both your driving inputs and the road conditions to
optimize ride comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and
sound. You can preset your preferences for these systems within the
information display. Lincoln Drive Control will respond to your
preferences based on what gear position you select. This provides a
single location to control multiple systems performance settings.
Lincoln Drive Control consists of the following systems:
•Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) dynamically adjusts the
shock absorbers stiffness in real time to match the road surface and
driver inputs. Vehicle motion (roll, pitch, bounce), suspension
position, vehicle loading, vehicle speed, road conditions, and steering
are continuously monitored to adjust the suspension damping for
optimal vehicle control.
•Electronically Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) adjusts steering effort
and feel based on vehicle speed and your inputs.
•Active Noise Control (ANC) utilizes vehicle electronics to enhance the
acoustic experience.
•Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control (ESC and TC)
maintain vehicle control in adverse conditions or high performance
driving.
•Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) which 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. Steering effort is decreased and suspension movement is
more fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when enhanced traveling comfort is
desired.
•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. 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 intended to be used during more spirited driving.

Using Lincoln Drive Control
You can configure which of the Drive Control modes are active when the
vehicle is in D (Drive) or in S (Sport). The configuration is retained until
modified using the information display.
To change the vehicle’s Drive Control settings, access the main menu on
the information display:
1. Choose Settings.
2. Choose Driver Assist.
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,
take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have it checked.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNING:The electric power steering system has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper
operation. When a system error is detected a steering message will
appear in the information display.
WARNING:The electric power steering system has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper
operation of the electronic system. When an electronic error is
detected, a message will be displayed in the information display. If this
happens, stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn off the engine. After
at least 10 seconds, reset the system by restarting the engine, and
watch the information display for a steering message. If a steering
message returns, or returns while driving, take the vehicle to your
dealer to have it checked.

WARNING:Obtain immediate service if a system error is
detected. You may not notice any difference in the feel of your
steering, but a serious condition may exist. Failure to do so may result
in loss of steering control.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power-assisted steering system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill.
If your vehicle loses electrical power while you are driving (or if the
ignition is turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes
more effort. Extreme continuous steering may increase the effort it takes
for you to steer. This occurs to prevent internal overheating and
permanent damage to your steering system. If this should occur, you will
neither lose the ability to steer the vehicle manually nor will it cause
permanent damage. Typical steering and driving maneuvers will allow the
system to cool and steering assist will return to normal.
When a steering system error is detected, steering messages may appear
in the information display.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•an improperly inflated tire
•uneven tire wear
•loose or worn suspension components
•loose or worn steering components
•improper vehicle alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander/pull.

4See your authorized dealer for fluid level checking or filling.5Your engine has been designed to use Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils that meet Ford
specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended viscosity grade that
meets API SN requirements and displays the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines.6Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary and could
lead to engine damage that is not covered by your Ford warranty.7Do not use API S category labeled as SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label also
displays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the requirements of your engine and
emission systems.8Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.9See warning below:
WARNING:The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R–134a under high
pressure. Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury. Air
conditioning refrigerant system is to be serviced only by qualified personnel.

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note:The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand
how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may
be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the
.mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This
enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in the
current folder.
