Lincoln Aviator: Transmission / Stay in Neutral Mode
Note: Stay in Neutral mode is a temporary
vehicle state that works with the engine in
a running or OFF state. Once in this mode,
maintain sufficient battery voltage, or your
vehicle returns to park (P) if left active for an
extended period of time when the engine is
off.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in vehicle damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Note: When entering an automatic car wash,
always enter the Stay in Neutral mode. Stay
in Neutral mode must be enabled if you are
exiting the vehicle before the car wash.
Extended usage of Stay in Neutral mode
could result in a battery voltage reduction to
a level where the vehicle no longer starts.
Do not tow your vehicle in this mode.
With the transmission selector in Stay in
Neutral mode, you can start your vehicle and
it is free to roll.
To enter Stay in Neutral mode, do the
following:
- Bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
- Shift into neutral (N).
- Press neutral (N) again within five
seconds after shifting to neutral (N).
Note: The Stay in Neutral mode confirmation
message appears in the information display
when your vehicle has entered Stay in
Neutral mode and the neutral (N) button on
the transmission selector slowly blinks.
To exit Stay in Neutral mode, press park (P)
at any time, or apply the brakes when the
engine is running, to shift into a different
driving position.
Note: You can select the (P) position with or
without brakes applied when the engine is
OFF.
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...
Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatic
transmission. The SelectShift Automatic
transmission gives you the ability to change
gears up or down, without a clutch, as
preferred...
