Lincoln Drive Control
This suite of electronic vehicle systems continuously monitors both your inputs and the road conditions
to optimize ride comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and sound. Choose your custom driving
experience through the information display under Settings, Drive Assist and then Drive Control:
Comfort: provides drivers with easier steering and a more fluid suspension.
Normal: delivers a more engaging drive experience with confident handling and a powerful,
yet quiet powertrain sound.
Sport: adds a sporty feel with a stiffer suspension and an emphasis on handling and control,
along with a more powerful engine tone.

Rear View Camera*
This system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The display
automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and
uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to objects.
Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems
This system sounds an audible warning tone if there is an obstacle near the
vehicle's front or rear bumpers. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
rate of the warning tone increases in frequency. The front sensors are automatically
activated when the gearshift is in any position other than park (P) or neutral (N)
and the vehicle speed is below 7 mph (12 km/h). The system detects certain objects
while the transmission is in reverse (R) and will detect objects up to 6 feet
(2 meters) away. See the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner's Manual for
complete information on your vehicle's sensing systems.
SelectShift Automatic® Transmission
Your SelectShift automatic transmission gives you the ability to manually change
gears, if you like. To use SelectShift, move the gearshift lever into sport (S).
Use the paddle shifters, located on the steering wheel, to manually select gears.
Pull (+) to upshift, pull (–) to downshift. Return the gearshift lever to drive (D) when
manual control is no longer desired.
Active Park Assist*
Detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space
(hands-free) while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly
instructs you to park your vehicle.
To use active park assist, press
the AUTO IPI button located
near the shifter. Use the direction
indicator to indicate which
side of the vehicle you want
the system to search on. If the
direction indicator is not on, the
system automatically searches
on the vehicle's passenger side.
To stop the parking procedure,
grab the steering wheel or press
the control again. For complete
information, refer to the
Parking Aids chapter of
your Owner's Manual.
Note: The driver is always
responsible for controlling the
vehicle, supervising the system
and intervening, if required.
