Lincoln Aviator: Driving Hints / Cold Weather Precautions. Breaking-In. Driving Through Water
Cold Weather Precautions
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected at
temperatures below approximately -13°F
(-25°C).
Breaking-In
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During this
time, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics.
Driving Through Water
WARNING: Do not drive through
flowing or deep water as you may lose
control of your vehicle.
Note: Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water, check
the depth. Never drive through water that is
higher than the bottom of the front rocker
area of your vehicle.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
- Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
- Check that the horn works.
- Check that the exterior lights work.
- Turn the steering wheel to check that the
steering power assist works.
Your fuel economy is affected by several
things, such as how you drive, the conditions
you drive under, and how you maintain your
vehicle.
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these things in mind:
Accelerate and slow down in a smooth,
moderate fashion...
WARNING: Use a floor mat designed
to fit the footwell of your vehicle that does
not obstruct the pedal area. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death...

control system to change from outside air to
recirculated air to help reduce the entry of
outside odors into the cabin...
