Lincoln Aviator: Starting a Hybrid Electric Vehicle System / Switching Off Your Vehicle When It Is Moving

WARNING: Switching off the engine when your vehicle is still moving results in a significant decrease in braking assistance. Higher effort is required to apply the brakes and to stop your vehicle. A significant decrease in steering assistance could also occur. The steering does not lock, but higher effort could be required to steer your vehicle. When you switch the ignition off, some electrical circuits, for example airbags, also turn off. If you unintentionally switch the ignition off, shift into neutral (N) and restart the engine.

1. Put the transmission in neutral (N) and use the brakes to bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
2. When your vehicle has stopped, put the transmission in park (P).
3. Press and hold the push button ignition switch for one second, or press it three times within two seconds.
4. Apply the parking brake.
