2022 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Owners Manual

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Drive mode control adjusts your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.
Changing the drive mode adjusts the
steering effort and feel of the steering
system.
The stability and traction control assist your
vehicle control in adverse conditions or
high-performance driving.
Throttle control enhances the powertrain
response, transmission controls become
optimized with shift schedules, and
four-wheel drive settings are optimized and
tuned to each mode.
Changing the drive mode can engage or
disengage the electronic locking differentials.
Changing the drive mode changes the
four-wheel drive mode to the default setting
for the selected drive mode.
Note:
The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, the drive mode system defaults
to normal. When the system defaults to
normal, the driveline settings remain the
same as prior to the system fault. Note:
The system reverts to the normal
mode each time you start your vehicle. At
startup the system also displays a prompt
on the instrument cluster display that gives
you the option to return to the previously
selected drive mode during the last ignition
cycle. If you select yes, the system returns
to the last selected drive mode and the
default driveline settings associated with
that mode. If you select no, the system
remains in normal mode and the driveline
settings remain the same as selected in the
prior ignition cycle. If you do not select yes
or no, the system stays in normal mode and
the driveline settings remain the same as
selected in the prior ignition cycle.

SELECTING A DRIVE MODE
Rotate the drive mode control on the center
console to select or change a drive mode.
Note:
Button icons vary depending on the
vehicle. DRIVE MODES
CONSERVE - 4X4
For efficient driving. It helps deliver maximum
fuel efficiency and increases driving range.
Two-wheel drive high is the default
four-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive low
is not available in conserve mode.
The electronic locking differential is available
below 25 mph (40 km/h). See What Is the
Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (page
231).
CONSERVE - 4X2
For efficient driving. It helps deliver maximum
fuel efficiency and increases driving range.
The electronic locking differential is available
below
25 mph (40 km/h). See What Is the
Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (page
231). DEEP CONDITIONS - 4X4
Used for crossing terrain that has deformable
deep, rutted surfaces such as mud, deep
snow or deep sand. Do not use on dry, hard
surfaced roads.
Four-wheel drive high is the default
four-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive low
is selectable in deep conditions mode.
The electronic locking differential engages
when you select this mode at any speed, and
you can disengage it at any time using the
button.
See What Is the Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (page 231).
Note: Do not use this mode when driving on
pavement or packed snow. This could cause
driveline bind up and damage the system
depending on the four-wheel drive mode
selection. See Four-Wheel Drive (page 223).
DEEP CONDITIONS - 4X2
Used for crossing terrain that has deformable
deep, rutted surfaces such as mud, deep
snow or deep sand. Do not use on dry, hard
surfaced roads.
294
2022 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Drive Mode ControlE246604

Four-wheel drive auto is the default
four-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drive low
is selectable in deep conditions mode.
The electronic locking differential engages
when you select this mode at any speed, and
you can disengage it at any time using the
button. See What Is the Electronic

driveline bind up and damage the system
depending on the four-wheel drive mode
selection. See Four-Wheel Drive (page 223).
EXCITE - 4X4
For sporty driving with improved
performance handling and response. This
mode increases throttle response, provides
a sportier steering feel, along with quicker
shifting. The suspension stiffens, with an
emphasis on handling and control. The

mode?
If a mode is unavailable due to a system
fault, it defaults to normal mode and the
driveline settings remain the same as
prior to the system fault.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance or
steering wheel vibration when it detects an
unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel, or
aids the driver by providing a small steering
input to move the vehicle back into the travel
lane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•
Alert (If Equipped)
• Aid
• Alert + Aid
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the road
lane markings. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in a
false or missed warning. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by us. WARNING: Large contrasts in outside
lighting can limit sensor performance.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
The lane keeping system only operates when
the vehicle speed is greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h).
The system works when the camera can
detect at least one lane marking.
Note: When you select Aid or Alert and Aid
mode and the system detects no steering
activity for a short period of time, the system
alerts you to put your hands on the steering
wheel. The system may detect a light grip or
touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
The lane keeping system may not correctly
operate in any of the following conditions:
• The lane keeping system does not detect
at least one lane marking.
• You switch the turn signal on.
• You apply direct steering, accelerate fast
or brake hard.
• The vehicle speed is less than
40 mph
(64 km/h). •
The anti-lock brake, stability control or
traction control system activates.
• The lane is too narrow.
• Something is obscuring the camera or it
is unable to detect the lane markings due
to environment, traffic or vehicle
conditions.
• Entering or exiting a tight curve when
driving at high speeds.
The lane keeping system may not correct
lane positioning in any of the following
conditions:
• High winds.
• Uneven road surfaces.
• Heavy or uneven loads.
• Incorrect tire pressure.
SWITCHING THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM ON AND OFF To activate the lane keeping
system, press the button on the
steering wheel.To deactivate the lane keeping system, press
the button again.
Note:
When switching the system on or off
a message appears in the information and
entertainment display to show the status.
Note: The system stores the on or off setting
until manually changed, unless it detects a
MyKey™. If the system detects a MyKey™, it
defaults to the last setting for that MyKey™.
Note: If the system detects a MyKey™,
pressing the button does not affect the on
or off status of the system. You can only
change the mode and intensity settings.
SWITCHING THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM MODE
The lane keeping system has different
settings that you can view or adjust using
the information display.
The system stores the last known selection
for each of these settings. You do not need
to readjust your settings each time you
switch on the system.
