The navigation system map data may contain
inaccurate or incomplete information due to
the passage of time, changing
circumstances, sources used and the nature
of collecting comprehensive geographic
data, any of which may lead to incorrect

Annual navigation map updates are available
for purchase through your dealership.
Depending on your purchase agreement,
you might be eligible for free Map update.
You can choose to download the Map data
update onto a USB, order a USB, or use Wi-Fi
to deliver automatic updates. To update your
Map data over Wi-Fi, your vehicle must be
connected to a Wi-Fi access point. Map Data
files are large, so it is highly recommended
to perform the update when free Wi-Fi is
available otherwise high data rates may
apply. For USB updates, free map update

ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFORMATION
(IF EQUIPPED)
Power Flow The Power Flow information for
your plug-in hybrid vehicle is
available through the Home screen
or under Apps.
Vehicle Operational States
Power will flow to or from the front and rear
wheels depending on operational state and
drive conditions.
• Idling: The vehicle is running and in park
(P). The engine and, or the high voltage
battery are on.
• Electric Driving: The vehicle is running
and in drive (D) or neutral (N). The high
voltage battery provides power to the
wheels.
• Hybrid Driving: The vehicle is running
and in drive (D) or neutral (N). The engine
and the high voltage battery provide
power to the wheels. •
Engine Driving: The vehicle is running
and in drive (D) or neutral (N). The engine
provides power to the wheels.
• Regenerative Braking: The vehicle is
running in drive gear (D) and is slowing
down. The regenerative braking system
captures power and sends it back to the
high voltage battery.
• Charging: The vehicle is plugged in and
the high voltage battery is being charged.
Engine On Due To
The following conditions help to explain why
the engine is on, and what you can do to
allow all electric operation.
• Drive Power: The engine is on due to
accelerator pedal pressure or speed
control activation. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric
mode.
• High Speed: The engine is on because
the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
full electric operation. Reduce the speed
to return to electric operation.

•
Heater Setting: The engine is on because
of the heater setting. Reduce or switch
off the heater setting to return to electric
operation.
• Neutral Gear: The engine is on because
the vehicle is in neutral (N). Shift out of
neutral gear to return to electric
operation.
• Engine Cold: The engine is on because
it is cold. The vehicle returns to electric
operation once the engine is sufficiently
warm.
• Battery Charging: The engine is on to
charge the high-voltage battery. The
vehicle returns to electric operation once
the battery is sufficiently charged.
• Low Gear: The engine is on because the
vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of low
gear to return to electric operation.
• Normal Operation: The engine is on to
optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when
possible. •
Low Use: The engine is on to maintain
engine oil quality. The vehicle returns to
electric operation when low engine use
mode is complete. See Plug-In Hybrid
Vehicle Operation (page 222).
• Fuel Maintenance: The engine is on to
maintain fuel freshness. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when fuel
freshness mode is complete.
See Fuel
Quality (page 227).
• Engine Braking Active: The engine is on
to provide increased powertrain braking.
This can occur when you turn on the
grade assist feature, when speed control
is on or when driving with your foot off
the accelerator pedal. Turning off grade
assist or speed control may allow the
vehicle to return to electric operation.
• Battery Temperature: The engine is on
due to high or low high-voltage battery
temperature. This is a normal operating
condition. The vehicle returns to electric
operation when possible.
• Drive Mode: The engine is on due to the
drive mode selection. Select an
appropriate drive mode for electric only
operation. Charge Settings The Charge Settings information
for your plug-in hybrid vehicle is
available through the Home screen
or under Vehicle Settings. To Improve your
charging experience, your vehicle has the
following convenience features.
Charge Times
Once you set up Charge Times for a specific
charging location, your vehicle prioritizes
charging based on your preferred time
settings. You can set two preferred charging
time windows for weekdays and two for
weekends. This feature allows you to take
advantage of electric utility rate plans that
offer lower pricing during certain times of
day. Contact your utility company to see what
plans are available.
Note: You can also set up and use these
features using the Lincoln Way app.

Note: In accordance with the management
approach of low-power radio wave radiation
motors:
Article 12: For approved and certified
low-power radiation motor models,
companies, firms or users must not alter the
frequency, increase the power or change the
characteristics and functions of the original
design without authorization.
Article 14: The usage of low-power
radio-frequency motors must not affect
aviation safety and interfere with legal
telecommunications. Should interference be
detected, immediately stop using the device
and only resume usage after ensuring that
there is no longer any interference. For the
legal telecommunication and wireless
telecommunication of the telco, the
low-power radio frequency motor must be
able to tolerate legal limits of interference
from telecommunication, industrial, scientific
and radio wave equipment.
