2021 LINCOLN AVIATOR transmission

The system detects large objects when you
shift into reverse (R) and any of the following
occur:
•
Your vehicle is moving backward at low
speed.
• Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching the rear of your vehicle
at low speed.
• Your vehicle is moving backward at low
speed and an object is moving toward
your vehicle, for example another vehicle
at low speed.
If your vehicle remains stationary for two
seconds the audible warning turns off. If your
vehicle moves backward the tone sounds
again.
Note: If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)
or less from the rear bumper, the audible
warning does not turn off. Object Distance Indicator
(If Equipped)
The system provides object distance
indication through the information display.
•
As the distance to the object decreases,
the indicator blocks illuminate and move
toward the vehicle icon.
• If the system does not detect an object,
the distance indicator blocks are gray. When you shift into reverse (R), the system
provides audible warnings and visual
indication when your vehicle is moving and
the detected object is moving toward your
vehicle. When you stop your vehicle, the
audible warnings stop after two seconds.
Visual indication remains on when the
transmission is in reverse (R).

WARNING: The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking speeds.
To help avoid personal injury you must
take care when using the parking aid
system.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover up the sensors.
Note: Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this may
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
Note: Some accessories, for example large
trailer hitches or bike or surfboard racks can
cause reduced performance or false alerts.
The sensors are on the front bumper. The sensors are active when the
transmission is in any position other than
park (P). When the parking aid system
sounds a tone, the audio system may reduce
the set volume.
A warning tone sounds when your vehicle
approaches an object. As your vehicle
moves closer to an object, the rate of the
tone increases. The warning tone
continuously sounds when an object is 12 in
(30 cm)
or less from the front bumper.
Note: There is a decreased coverage area
at the outer corners.
The system turns off when the vehicle speed
reaches
5 mph (8 km/h). The sensor coverage area is up to
28 in
(70 cm) from the center of the bumper.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the
system detects objects when your vehicle is
moving at low speed or an object is moving
toward your vehicle, for example another
vehicle at low speed. When you stop your
vehicle, the audible warning turns off after
two seconds.
If the transmission is in any forward gear, the
system provides audible warnings when your
vehicle is moving and an object is within the
detection area. When you stop your vehicle,
the audible warning turns off after two
seconds and the visual warning turns off after
four seconds.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information display.

incorrect. All guide lines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. WARNING:
Use caution when turning
camera features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving.
Note: Some vehicles may not come
equipped with guidelines.
The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display
which represent your vehicle ’s path and
proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is on the luggage compartment
door.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the

Aviator (CTV) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202007, Second-Printing Parking AidsE288858

The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Active guidelines (if equipped): 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: Helps align the center of your
vehicle with an object (for example, a
trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment door is open, no
rear view camera features display.
Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage as it usually provides in
normal operation and some objects might
not be seen. In some vehicles, the guidelines
may disappear when you connect the trailer
tow connector. The camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
•
Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
reverse lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
You can also use the rear washer to
clean the camera. See Rear Window
Wiper and Washers (page 107).
• The rear of your vehicle is hit or
damaged, causing the camera to become
misaligned.

when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
away. Objects are getting closer to your
vehicle as they move from the green zone
to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
