AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure your vehicle is in P
(Park). Turn the ignition off whenever you
leave your vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously for
more than three seconds will limit engine
rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.
Push Button Shift Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
transmission. The shift buttons are located
on the instrument panel next to the
MyLincoln Touch™ system. The gears are
selected by pressing and releasing the
PRNDS buttons.
Every time a gear is selected, the selected
button will light up. You will also see the
gear selected appear in the instrument
cluster.
Understanding the Positions of your
Electronic Transmission
Note: Always come to a complete stop
before putting your vehicle into and out
of P (Park).
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Press and release the button on the
instrument panel of the gear you want
to select.
3. The gearshift button you select will
illuminate and the selected gear will
appear in the instrument cluster.
4. Release the brake pedal and your
transmission will remain in the selected
gear.
Note: If you attempt to leave your vehicle
while it is in gear, the vehicle will
automatically shift into P (Park). Safety belt
and door monitors determine your intent
and make the shift for you. During this
time, a Transmission not in Park message
will appear in the information display
screen prompting you to make the shift.
