Lincoln Aviator: Transmission / Automatic Return to Park
Note: This feature does not operate when
your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode or
neutral tow.
The transmission returns to park (P) if any of
the following occur:
- You switch the ignition off.
- You do not have your seatbelt fastened
and you open the driver door.
- The driver door is open and you unfasten
your seatbelt.
If you switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving, your vehicle shifts into
neutral (N) until it slows down enough to shift
into park (P).
Note: This feature does not work properly if
the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If your
door ajar indicator does not illuminate when
you open or close the driver door, or the
Transmission not in Park message still
displays in the information display when the
shifter has already selected (R), (N) or (D) and
the driver door remains closed, see your
authorized dealer.
Your vehicle has an electronic transmission
shifter. The transmission selector is on the
center stack below the touchscreen.
