Lincoln AVIATOR 2023 Owner's Manual page 331

The design of the system is to aid you in
detecting vehicles that could have entered
the detection area zone (A). The detection
area is on both sides of your vehicle and
trailer, extending rearward from the exterior
mirrors to the end of your trailer. When you
attach and have setup a trailer, the blind spot
information system with trailer tow becomes
active when driving forward above 6 mph
(10 km/h).
You can switch the system off in the
information display. See General Information
(page 136). If you switch the blind spot
information system off, blind spot information
system with trailer tow turns off.
Setting up a Trailer
You can setup a trailer through the
information display. See General Information
(page 136).

A Trailer length.
B Trailer width.
C Trailer hitch ball.
Note: Measure the width of the trailer at the
front of the trailer, not the widest point. The
maximum width that the system can support
is 8.2 ft (2.5 m)(B).
Note: The trailer length is the distance
between the trailer hitch ball and the rear of
the trailer. The maximum length that the
system can support is 33 ft (10 m)(A).
When setting up a trailer, a sequence of
screens appear asking for trailer information:
• Select trailer screen: None, Trailer A,
Trailer B or Trailer C.
328
Note: You can select only one trailer on
small information displays.
Select one of the trailers and press OK. The
menu goes to the next screen.
• Width less than 8.2 ft (2.5 m) and length
less than 33 ft (10 m)?
Note: You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is 8.2 ft
(2.5 m) or less.
If no, the system turns off.
If yes, the menu goes to the next screen.
• Enter length of trailer:
Toggling up or down using the menu buttons
increases or decreases the measurement by
3 ft (1 m). Select a length that is equal to or
within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured
length. For example, if the actual measured
length is 25 ft (7.6 m), toggle the length in
the menu to 8 m or 27 ft. When you enter the
length of the trailer, this saves the system
setup.
