GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.
WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive
your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.
WARNING: Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 6 mi (10 km)
after you reconnect it. This is because the
engine management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can disregard any
unusual driving characteristics during this
period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:The system may not function if the
remote control is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a
cell phone.
Note:A valid remote control must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.
Ignition Modes
E144447
The keyless starting system has three
modes:
Off: Turns the ignition off.
205
Starting and Stopping the Engine

Note:When plugging into an unfamiliar wall
outlet, let the vehicle charge for several
minutes before leaving it unattended. The
red indicator will illuminate if not charging.
The unit will turn off if breaker or
infrastructure ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is tripped. You can view vehicle
charging status remotely via the Lincoln Way
App.
Mobile Power Cord Auto-Restart
Auto-restart helps to make sure that your
vehicle will be charged and ready for use
when needed. A charge could be interrupted
if errors are detected. Charging resumes
once the error is no longer detected. The
red indicator illuminates during an error
condition.
The exception to the immediate auto-restart
is when the interruption is due to a charger
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) event.
The charger attempts to restart 15 minutes
after a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
event. After the fourth attempt to restart, the
charger shuts down and the red indicator
stays on.If the fault persists, do not continue to try to
charge your vehicle. Contact your authorized
dealer.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use cleaners or solvents as this could
damage your mobile power cord. Do not
place stress on the charger cables. If unit
overheats, remove the mobile power cord
from direct sunlight.
SAFETY FEATURES
The charger includes the following safety
features to protect against the risk of electric
shock:
• Service Ground Check: The charger
constantly checks for the presence of a
service ground connection. If the service
ground ever fails, the charger red
indicator turns ON and shuts down power
to the vehicle.
• Thermal Event Sensor: Charger module
senses out-of-ordinary thermal events
and decreases the charging current or
shuts the unit down if required.• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Protection: The charger has a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reaction
system to protect against electric shock.
If the charger module detects an output
ground fault, it shuts down power to the
output cable and illuminates the red
indicator.
• Insulation: The charger module,
connector, cable assembly, and charge
coupler are completely insulated. There
are no exposed live parts, to protect
against electric shock.
• Unintentional Disconnection: The charge
coupler is designed to minimize
unintentional disconnection. A pilot signal
wire in the cable and charge coupler
eliminates the possibility of electric shock
when not connected to a vehicle or if an
unintended disconnect occurs during a
charge. Disconnection during charging
is safe.

Special Loading Instructions for
Owners of Pick-up Trucks and Utility-
type Vehicles
WARNING: When loading the
roof racks, we recommend you evenly
distribute the load, as well as maintain
a low center of gravity. Loaded
vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased
stopping distance, when driving a
heavily loaded vehicle.
AIR SUSPENSION (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: If your vehicle has
self-leveling air suspension, you must
switch the system off before carrying out
any maintenance or repair. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.The air suspension system automatically
adjusts to maintain a constant frame height,
allows for ease of vehicle loading, provides
improved vehicle ride, and increased driver
comfort.
You can adjust different ride settings through
the selectable drive modes. See Selecting
a Drive Mode (page 343).
Note:The air suspension system may not
operate properly if you exceed the load limit.
See Load Limit (page 348).
Note:When your vehicle is off, the air
compressor may run for a short time. This is
normal.
Switching the systems on or off
You can access the air suspension, liftgate
and easy entry features through the
information display menu settings. See
General Information (page 136).
Using the Service Mode
When the service mode is active, the air
suspension does not make any adjustments
while your vehicle is stationary.Note:Always switch the air suspension
service mode to on before servicing your
vehicle.
Using Cargo Loading
The air suspension cargo loading feature
lowers your vehicle for easier access when
the system detects the liftgate is opening.
When the liftgate is closed your vehicle
returns to its normal height after a short time.
Note:To preserve your vehicle battery, your
vehicle may only lower for cargo mode one
to two times per ignition cycle.
Using Easy Entry
The air suspension can lower your vehicle
to an easier access entry height when the
system detects the intelligent access key,
you press the unlock button, use the remote
start, or use Phone as a Key.
The leveling process stops when you open
a door or the target level is achieved.
Note:To stop the leveling process, press the
lock button on the intelligent access key.
