Lincoln Aviator: Engine System - General Information / General Procedures - Camshaft Surface Inspection

Inspect the camshaft lobes for pitting or damage in the
active area. Minor pitting is acceptable outside the active area. The
active area includes the opening ramp and closing ramp. The opening ramp
is the point where the lifter just begins to lift until the point it
reaches the nose of the lobe. The closing ramp is the point from the
nose back down to the lash point. The base circle of the camshaft is not
the active area.

Other information:
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with an
approved trailer tow module and tow bar,
the system turns off when you attach a
trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket
trailer tow module or tow bar, we
recommend that you switch the system off
when you attach a trailer...
WARNING: Airbags do not inflate
slowly or gently, and the risk of injury from
a deploying airbag is the greatest close to
the trim covering the airbag module.
WARNING: All occupants of your
vehicle, including the driver, should always
properly wear their seatbelts, even when
an airbag supplemental restraint system is
provided...
