2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR warning

E71340
The cruise control indicator
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator if you select
normal cruise control. The gap setting does
not display, and the system does not respond
to lead vehicles. Automatic braking remains
active to maintain set speed. The system
remembers the last setting when you start
your vehicle.
SWITCHING LANE CENTERING ON
AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel. See Cruise Control (page 104).
E297977
Press the button.
The indicator appears in the information
display. When the system is on, the color of
the indicator changes to indicate the system
status. See Adaptive Cruise Control
Indicators (page 312).
Note:Adaptive cruise control must be on
before you can switch lane centering on.
Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
• You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
• The vehicle is centered in the lane.
• Your hands are on the steering wheel at
all times.
• The system detects both lane markings.
Note:If it does not detect valid lane
markings, the system stays inactive until
valid markings are available.
You can override the system at any time by
steering your vehicle.
When lane centering is active and the
direction indicator is switched on, the system
immediately cancels. The system remains in
standby mode as long as the direction
indicator is engaged. The system re-activates
automatically once the vehicle is centered
in a lane and the direction indicator is
switched off.
System Alerts and Automatic
Cancellation
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. If you do not react to the
warnings the system cancels and slows your
vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control.
The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Note:The system may detect a light grip or
touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
When the system is cancelled due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
not on the steering wheel, the system
immediately alerts you to take control of the
vehicle. If this alert is ignored, the system
slows the vehicle while maintaining steering
control.

Note:There are instances where the system
can cancel without displaying a message in
the information display.
E281472
If your vehicle starts to slow down,
you must provide steering input to
the wheel and press and release
the button to regain full system performance.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
• The lane becomes too wide or too
narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings are crossed.
Note:The system disables until the next key
cycle if your vehicle slows down due to driver
inactivity twice within a key cycle.
SWITCHING INTELLIGENT MODE
ON AND OFF
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.
1. Press Settings on the touchscreen.
2. Press Driver Assistance.
3. Press Cruise Control.
4. Press Intelligent.
Changing the Set Speed with
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
When intelligent mode is on, the system
adjusts the set speed to the speed limit
detected by the camera and the speed limit
information provided by the navigation
system.Note:The set speed adjusts when the
system detects a different maximum speed
limit.
Note:The speed limit information provided
by the navigation map data may be
inaccurate or out of date. See Navigation
(page 538).
Note:The system alerts you if the set speed
increases beyond the speed limit. See
Adaptive Cruise Control Indicators (page
312).
If the system does not detect a speed limit,
the vehicle speed remains at the current set
speed.
You can override the set speed at any time.
You may need to override or cancel the
system in certain situations such as inclement
weather or if an incorrect speed is set.
Note:The system may not detect and read
speed limit signs with conditional
information, for example, when a sign is
flashing, during specific time ranges, or when
children are present.

INFORMATION MESSAGES - VEHICLES
WITH: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WITH STOP AND GONote:Depending on your vehicle options
and instrument cluster type, not all messages
display or are available.Note:The system could abbreviate or
shorten certain messages depending upon
which cluster type you have.
Action Message
A malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging. Adaptive Cruise Malfunction
Front Sensor Not Aligned Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation.
Conditions exist preventing the system from being available. Adaptive Cruise Not Available
You have a blocked radar because of poor radar visibility due to inclement weather or ice, mud,
or water in front of the radar. You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this. Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor
Blocked See Manual
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual
block. This happens, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false
blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicle.
You have selected normal cruise control. The system does not brake or react to traffic. Normal Cruise Active Adaptive Braking Off
Displays when the adaptive cruise control is going to cancel and you must take control. Adaptive Cruise - Driver Resume Control
Displays when the vehicle speed is too slow to activate the adaptive cruise control and there is
no lead vehicle in range. Adaptive Cruise Speed Too Low to
Activate

E272890
When you switch the system on, a graphic
of lane markings appears in the information
display.
When you switch the system off, the lane
marking graphics do not display.
While the system is on, the color of the lane
markings change to indicate the system
status. These colors represent the following:Gray: Indicates that the system is temporarily
unable to provide a warning or intervention
on the indicated side. This may be because:
• Your vehicle is under the activation
speed.
• The direction indicator is active.
• Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
• The road has no or poor lane markings
in the camera field-of-view.
• The camera is obscured or unable to
detect the lane markings due to
environmental, traffic or vehicle
conditions. For example, significant sun
angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain or fog,
following a large vehicle that is blocking
or shadowing the lane or poor headlamp
illumination.
See Troubleshooting for additional
information.
Green: Indicates that the system is available
or ready to provide a warning or intervention
on the indicated side.
Animated graphic: Indicates that the system
is providing or has just provided a lane

or has just provided a lane keeping alert
warning.The system can be temporarily suppressed
at any time by the following:
• Quick braking.
• Fast acceleration.• Using the direction indicator.
• Evasive steering maneuver.
• Driving too close to the lane markings.
Troubleshooting
Why is the feature not available (line markings are gray) when I can see the lane markings on the road?
Your vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature.
The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.

Your vehicle stays too close to the lane markings.
Driving at high speeds in curves.
The last Alert warning or Aid intervention occurred a short time ago.
Ambiguous lane markings, for example in construction zones.
Rapid transition from light to dark, or from dark to light.
Sudden offset in lane markings.
ABS or AdvanceTrac™ is active.
There is a camera blockage due to dirt, grime, fog, frost or water on the windshield.
