Lincoln Aviator: Maintenance / Power Steering Fluid Check
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering (EPS) system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill.
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other
than the recommended brake fluid as this
will reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death...
WARNING: Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can cause
personal injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery...
Other information:
Note: Having your engine running is not
always an indication of inefficiency. In some
cases, it is actually more efficient than
driving in electric mode.
Your fuel economy should improve
throughout your hybrid's break-in period. As
with any vehicle, your driving habits and
accessory usage can significantly impact
your fuel economy...

NOTE:
During vehicle build, some modules, such as the IPC and BCM module are set in factory mode.
Factory mode reduces the drain on the battery during longer periods
where the vehicle is not used. While in the factory mode, various
systems may be altered or disabled and the IPC
displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center...
