2021 LINCOLN CORSAIR Owners Manual

Note:
You can identify charging faults by the
color orange on the charge status indicator.
Faults can occur within the vehicle charging
system or outside the vehicle, such as with
the charge cord, charge station or electrical
supply.
Note: If the system detects a fault in the
vehicle charging system at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire charge status
indicator lights up solidly in an orange color
for 30 seconds and then turns off. If this
happens, unplug the charging coupler and
then plug it back into the charge port
receptacle. If the problem persists, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: If the system detects a fault outside
the vehicle, such as with the charge station
or charge cord, the entire charge status
indicator flashes continuously for 30 seconds
and then turns off. If this happens, check the
charge cord and the charge station or
electrical supply. Locking the Charging Coupler
Note:
You need a padlock or a combination
lock with a shackle diameter of 0.2 in (5 mm)
or less, and the straight portion of the
shackle of 1.0 in (25.4 mm) of length or more.
1. Insert the lock through the hole in the charging coupler button.
2. Lock the padlock or combination lock. Waiting to Charge Note:
Select charge settings on the home
page of the touchscreen or under the vehicle
settings menu to access charge preferences.
See SYNC™ 3 (page 478).
Charging may not begin upon plugging in if
you have set up preferred charge times for
this vehicle location. Your vehicle could delay
charging to take advantage of off-peak
electricity rates. Your vehicle optimizes the
charge schedule to be complete by your next
departure time.
When waiting to charge, plugged in and not
currently charging, the charge status
indicator shows the present state of charge
of the high voltage battery by lighting up all
completed zones for 30 seconds before
turning off. For example, if the battery is at
70 percent charge then the bottom three
zones solidly light up to indicate a battery
charge level of at least 60 percent but less
than 80 percent. When the current state of
charge is less than 20 percent, none of the
zones light up.

Note:
When your vehicle is waiting to
charge, the charge status indicator turns off
30 seconds after displaying the present state
of charge. When your vehicle begins
charging, the charge status indicator turns
on and displays the status of the charge, as
described above.
Disconnecting the Charging Coupler

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:
You may not be able to shift out of
park (P) unless the intelligent access key is
inside your vehicle.
Understanding the Shift Positions of
Your Automatic Transmission To place your vehicle in gear from park (P):

Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your vehicle
locks the transmission and prevents the
wheels from turning. Always come to a
complete stop before putting your vehicle
into and out of park (P). An audible tone
sounds once you select park (P).
The electric parking brake may apply when
you shift to park (P) without fully pressing the
brake pedal. The electric parking brake
applies when you shift to park (P) on large
slopes. The electric parking brake releases
with the drive away release operation.

Automatic Return to Park
The transmission returns to park (P) if any of
the following occur:
•
You switch the ignition off.
• Your seatbelt is not fastened, and you
open the driver door.
• The driver door is open, and you
unfasten your seatbelt.
Note: This feature does not operate if your
vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode.
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
transmission in this position.
Stay in Neutral Mode
Use this feature to keep your vehicle in
neutral (N) when you exit the vehicle. To enter stay in neutral mode:
•
Bring your vehicle to a complete
standstill.
• Press the neutral (N) button on the
transmission selector.
• Press the neutral (N) button again to
enter stay in neutral mode.
Note: Stay in neutral mode is a temporary
vehicle state with the ignition off. Once in
this mode, sufficient battery voltage must be
maintained, or your vehicle returns to park.
Extended usage of stay in neutral mode may
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.
