2021 LINCOLN CORSAIR display

The charge status indicator around the
charge port indicates the charge status of
the high voltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into five zones, the charge status
indicator displays the state of charge in 20
percent increments.
We use the color white as a courtesy light to
help with plugging in and to acknowledge
actions such as plugging in, unplugging or
pressing the charge times button.
Blue is used when you plug the vehicle in
and are either charging or waiting to charge.
Orange indicates charge faults.
Charge Times Button
Use the charge times button to either turn
off or turn on your charge times settings for
this location. Select charge settings on the
home page of your touchscreen or under the
vehicle settings menu to access charge
preferences. See SYNC™ 3 (page 478).
Charging
To charge the high-voltage battery:
1. Put the vehicle in park (P).
2.
Press the center right edge of the charge
port door and then release to open the
door.
3. Plug the charging coupler into the charge
port receptacle on your vehicle. Make
sure the button clicks confirming that you
have completely engaged the coupler. Note:
Put your vehicle in park (P) to charge,
and for the charge status indicator to
illuminate.
Note: Pump and fan noise could be present
when charging the high voltage battery. The
pump and fan noise is normal as it circulates
liquid and keeps your high voltage battery
cool while charging. 4. Verify that the cord acknowledgment
feature activates. This indicates the
beginning of a normal charge cycle. The
charge status indicator lights up each
zone alternately from bottom to top and
from bottom to top again.

5. If using a charging station, follow the
instructions on the charge station to
begin the charging process.
The charge status indicator displays how far
along the charge is:
• When the bottom zone is pulsing, the
charge is between 0-20 percent.
• When the bottom zone illuminates and
the next is pulsing, the charge is between
20-40 percent.
• When two zones illuminate and the next
is pulsing, the charge is between 40-60
percent.
• When three zones illuminate and the next
is pulsing, the charge is between 60-80
percent.
• When four zones illuminate and the top
zone is pulsing, the charge is between
80-100 percent.
• When all zones illuminate, the charge is
100 percent. 80%-100% state of charge.
A.
60%-80% state of charge.
B.
40%-60% state of charge.
C.
20%-40% state of charge.
D.
0%-20% state of charge.
E. Note:
When charging stops, the charge
status indicator shows all the completed
zones solidly lit up in a blue color for 30
seconds before turning off. For example, if
charging stops at 70 percent, then the
bottom three zones light up solidly to
indicate a battery charge level of at least 60
percent but less than 80 percent. Charging
stops when complete or when paused due
to preferred charge settings or charge
station actions.
Note: If the charge status indicator does not
light up or pulse after plugging in, please
verify that the charge port light setting is On.
If you do not wish to have the charge status
indicator light up at all while charging, then
you can switch it Off. See charge port light
under vehicle settings on your touchscreen.
See SYNC™ 3 (page 478).

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION -
EXCLUDING: PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
When your vehicle is
stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property damage. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury. Note:

Note: If you switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving, your vehicle shifts into
neutral (N) until it slows down enough to shift
in park (P).
Note: If you have waited for more than two
minutes before switching the ignition on,
unfastening your seatbelt causes this feature
to activate, even with the driver door closed.
Note: This feature may not work properly if
the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If your
door ajar indicator does not illuminate when
you open the driver door, or the indicator
illuminates with the driver door closed, see
your authorized dealer. Reverse (R)
With the selector in reverse (R), your vehicle
moves backward. Always come to a
complete stop before shifting into and out
of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
WARNING: In neutral (N) your vehicle
has the ability to roll freely. If you intend to
leave your vehicle, make sure you apply
the parking brake.
In neutral (N), power does not transmit to the
driven wheels, but the transmission is not
locked. You can start the engine with the

result in a battery voltage reduction to a
level where the vehicle may no longer start,
and the vehicle returns to park (P). Do not
tow your vehicle in this mode.
Note: When entering an automatic car wash,
always shift into neutral (N). If you are exiting
the vehicle by the car wash, stay in neutral
mode is available. Failure to do this could
result in vehicle damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Note: A confirmation message appears in
the information display when your vehicle
enters stay in neutral mode.
