2021 LINCOLN AVIATOR ECO mode

Driving in Special Conditions With All-
Wheel Drive (AWD)
Note:
Use of the AWD system in slippery,
deep snow and sand drive modes on dry
surfaces could produce some vibration and
driveline bind up and, or excessive tire wear,
as the intent of these drive modes are for
slippery and loose surfaces.
Note: You can use AWD vehicles for driving
on sand, snow, mud and rough roads and
have operating characteristics that are
somewhat different from conventional
vehicles, both on and off the highway.
Basic Operating Principles in Special
Conditions
• Drive slower in strong crosswinds which
can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Be extremely careful when driving on
pavement made slippery by loose sand,
water, gravel, snow or ice. If Your Vehicle Goes Off the Edge of the
Pavement
•
If your vehicle goes off the edge of the
pavement, slow down, but avoid severe
brake application, ease the vehicle back
onto the pavement only after reducing
your speed. Do not turn the steering
wheel too sharply while returning to the
road surface.
• It could be safer to stay on the apron or
shoulder of the road and slow down
gradually before returning to the
pavement. You could lose control if you
do not slow down or if you turn the
steering wheel too sharply or abruptly.
• It often could be less risky to strike small
objects, such as highway reflectors, with
minor damage to your vehicle rather than
attempt a sudden return to the pavement
which could cause the vehicle to slide
sideways out of control or rollover.
Remember, your safety and the safety of
others should be your primary concern. If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck WARNING: Apply the parking brake,
shift into park (P), switch the ignition off
and remove the key before you leave your
vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING: If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning lamp
remains illuminated, the brakes may not
be working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
Do not spin the wheels
at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it
could be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts, in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

The system assists parking into and out of
parking spaces. Sensors are used to detect
parking spaces. The system then steers,
accelerates, brakes and shifts gear as
required to maneuver into or out of a parking
space.
Using Active Park Assist
The parking button is above the transmission
selector, just below the display screen. Press the parking button then touch the
Active Park Assist icon on the display screen
to bring up full screen notifications. Touch
the soft keys on the display screen to switch
between Parallel Park In, Perpendicular Park
In or Parallel Park Out parking modes.
Driving into a Parking Space
Note:
The system detects other vehicles and
curbs to find a parking space.
Note: The system does not recognize
parking space lines and centers your vehicle
between objects.
Note: When parking perpendicularly, the
system backs your vehicle into parking
spaces.
1. Press the active park assist button.
2. Touch the active park assist icon on the touchscreen.
Note: The system searches for parallel
parking spaces on the passenger side.
Touch the active park assist icon again to
make the system search for perpendicular
spaces. 3. Use the direction indicator lever to
search for a parking space on the driver
or passenger side of your vehicle.
4. Drive your vehicle approximately 3 ft (1 m)
away from and parallel to the other
parked vehicles when searching for a
parking space.
Note: A tone sounds and a message
appears in the information display when
active park assist finds a suitable parking
space.
5. Press and hold the brake pedal.
6. Release the steering wheel and shift into
neutral (N).
7. Press and hold the active park assist button.
8. Release the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to park.
Note: When parallel parking between
objects, the system parks closer to the object
in front of your vehicle to allow easier access
to your trunk.
Note: When perpendicular parking, the
system aligns the front end of your vehicle
with the lane side of the object next to it.

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
A B With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front when
driving into and coming out of a
bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone
may change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clear
view of the road by the windshield-mounted
camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
• The camera is blocked.
• There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.
• There are bad weather conditions. SWITCHING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
