2015 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR instrument cluster

GENERAL INFORMATION
Note:Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous
grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be
worn out. Have them inspected by an authorized dealer. If your vehicle
has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels, even under normal
driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does
not contribute to brake noise. See the Vehicle Carechapter for wheel
cleaning instructions.
See theInstrument Cluster chapter for information on the
brake system warning light.
Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake
pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry
the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow your vehicle and
reduce engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Turn the engine off, shift to park
(P) and apply the parking brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal and the
area around it for any items or debris that may be obstructing its
movement. If none are found and the condition persists, have your
vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.
Anti-Lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops
by keeping the brakes from locking. This lamp momentarily illuminates when you turn the ignition
on. If the light does not illuminate during start-up, remains on
or flashes, the anti-lock brake system may be disabled. Have
the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the anti-lock brake
system is disabled, normal braking is still effective.
If the brake warning lamp illuminates when you release the
parking brake, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set speed without keeping your foot
on the accelerator pedal.
USING CRUISE CONTROL
WARNING:Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic, on
winding roads or when the road surface is slippery. This could
result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.
WARNING: When you are going downhill, your vehicle speed
may increase above the set speed. The system will not apply the
brakes. Change down a gear to assist the system in maintaining the set
speed. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.
Note: Cruise control will disengage if your vehicle speed decreases more
than 10 mph (16 km/h) below your set speed while driving uphill.
Switching On Cruise Control
The cruise controls are located on the steering wheel.
Press and release ON.
Setting a Speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Press and release SET+.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The indicator will turn on in the instrument cluster.

Note:Lincoln Black Label vehicles may have Alcantara microfiber fabric
on the seats, headliner, floor mats and door panels.
Depending on the type of stain, use water, lemon juice or pure ethyl
alcohol when cleaning. For cleaning Alcantara microfiber cloth, refer to
the following chart:
Type of stain Cleaning procedure
Fruit juice, jam, jelly, syrup or
ketchup. Use lukewarm water and rinse
by dabbing with clean water.
Blood, egg, excrement or urine. Use cold water and rinse by
dabbing with clean water.
Avoid warm water because it
makes these substances
coagulate.
Liquor, alcoholic beverages, wine,
beer, cola and tea. Use lukewarm water. If the
color remains, treat with lemon
juice and then rinse.
Indelible pencil, cocoa, chocolate,
pastry with cream or chocolate,
ice-cream or mustard. Use lukewarm water and rinse
by dabbing with clean water.
Vinegar, hair gel, tomato sauce or
coffee with sugar. Use lemon juice, wipe with
lukewarm water and rinse by
dabbing with clean water.
Dye transfer and all other stains. Use ethyl alcohol, then dab with water.
CLEANING THE CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
Remove dust and loose dirt with a whisk broom or a vacuum cleaner.
Remove fresh spots immediately. Clean the seat with a damp cloth, using
a mild soap and water solution, if necessary.
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS

Note:Follow the same procedure as cleaning leather seats for cleaning
leather instrument panels and leather interior trim surfaces. See
Cleaning Leather Seats in this chapter.
Clean the instrument panel and cluster lens with a clean, damp, white,
cotton cloth, then use a clean and dry, white, cotton cloth to dry these
areas.
• Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase the gloss of the upper portion
of the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the
driver from undesirable windshield reflection.
• Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in
contact with certain products, such as insect repellent and suntan
lotion, in order to avoid possible damage to the interior painted
surfaces.
• Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the
finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and cluster lens.
• Do not allow air fresheners and hand sanitizers to spill on interior
surfaces. If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage may not be
covered by your warranty.
If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has been spilled on the instrument
panel or on interior trim surfaces, clean as follows:
1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean, white, cotton cloth.
2. Use Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially
available leather cleaning product for automotive interiors. Test any
cleaner or stain remover on an inconspicuous area.
3. Alternatively, wipe the surface with a damp, clean, white, cotton cloth
and a mild soap and water solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
4. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product
to a clean, white, cotton cloth and press the cloth onto the soiled area.
Allow this to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Remove the soaked cloth, then with a clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing
motion for 60 seconds on the soiled area.
6. Following this, wipe area dry with a clean, white, cotton cloth.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: Follow the same procedure as cleaning leather seats for cleaning
leather instrument panels and leather interior trim surfaces.
For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild
soap and water solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.

ACCESSING AND ADJUSTING MODES THROUGH YOUR RIGHT
VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY
The display is located on the right side of your instrument cluster. You
can use your steering wheel controls to view and make minor
adjustments to active modes without taking your hands off the wheel.
For example:
•In Entertainment mode, you can view what is now playing, change
the audio source (such as AM, FM and CD) and scroll through
memory presets.
• In Phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call, or make a
call by choosing from select menus within the Phone menu.
• If your vehicle is equipped with Navigation, you can view the current
route or cancel a route.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with Navigation, Compass appears
in the display instead of Navigation. If you press the right arrow to go
into the Compass menu, you can see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, not true direction.
(For example, if the vehicle is traveling west, the middle of the compass
graphic displays west; north displays to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west).
Audio Sources and Memory Presets
Use the OKand arrow buttons on the right side of your steering wheel
to scroll through the available modes.
You can make selections from the menu by using the OKbutton. The
selection menu expands and different options appear.
