Forward And Reverse Sensing Systems; Forced Downshifts; If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud Or Snow - Ford Lincoln Navigator Owner's Manual

Driving

Forced downshifts

• Allowed in D (Drive) only.
• Depress the accelerator to the floor.
• Allows transmission to select an appropriate gear.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by
shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a
steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating
temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.
Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.
If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac with RSC, it may be
beneficial to turn the system off so the wheels are allowed to spin.

FORWARD AND REVERSE SENSING SYSTEMS

The forward and reverse sensing system will warn the driver of obstacles
within a certain range of the front and rear bumpers. The front sensors
will be active when the gearshift is in any position other than P (Park)
or N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is below 8 mph (13 km/h). The
rear sensors will only be active when the gearshift is in R (Reverse).
