2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR warning

Vehicle Range Display
Displays the approximate range your vehicle
can travel with the energy currently onboard.
Estimates vary based on the energy used
when driving.
Changes in driving pattern can cause the
values to not only decrease but also increase
or stay constant for periods of time.
The amount of energy being used when
driving is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Vehicle speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate
control.
• Ambient temperature and other weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on flat or hilly roads.
• Towing.Note:It is normal for vehicle range estimates
to vary due to changes in average energy
usage. This is why you typically see different
range estimates each time you fill up the fuel
tank or fully charge the battery.
Note:Electric range is lower in cold
temperatures due to reduced energy
capacity in the high voltage battery. Set a
departure time and cabin temperature to
maintain battery temperature for best range
and performance. See Electric Vehicle
Information (page 546).
Gasoline Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank.
Electric Range
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on electric power only with
the engine off.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury.
Indicates the engine coolant temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the engine
coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the
engine cool.
