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.
