warning LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2013 Owner's Guide

•A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow air
curtain deployment.
•Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. SeeCrash Sensors and Airbag Indicatorin this
chapter.
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the rear seats. The Safety Canopy will not interfere with children
restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is
designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.
The design and development of the Safety Canopy included
recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side airbags (including the Safety
Canopy).
CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING:Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of
your vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure
and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of your
vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which
provide information to the restraints control module which deploys
(activates) the front safety belt pretensioners, driver airbag, passenger
airbag, seat mounted side airbags, and the Safety Canopy. Based on the
type of accident (frontal impact, side impact or rollover) the restraints
control module will deploy the appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the
safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. See
Warning Lamps and Indicatorsin theInstrument Clusterchapter.
Routine maintenance of the airbag is not required.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKeyallows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these restricted modes. Any keys that have
not been programmed are referred to as an administrator key or admin
key which can be used to:
•create a restricted key
•program optional MyKey settings
•clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed, you can access the following
information using the information display control:
•How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle.
•The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent access (push button start), when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are present, the
admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed.
•Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five–minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted when MyKey Belt-Minder is
activated.
•Early low fuel. Warnings are displayed in the information display
control followed by an audible tone when the estimated remaining fuel
in the tank will allow 75 miles (121 kilometers) of travel or less.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert and the collision warning system.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterward with an admin key.
•Vehicle speed limit of 80 mph (130 km/h). Visual warnings are
displayed followed by an audible tone when vehicle speed has reached
80 mph (130 km/h).
•Vehicle speed warning of 45, 55 or 65 mph (75, 90, or 105 km/h).
Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone when the
preselected vehicle speed is exceeded.

Power Liftgate
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the liftgate area
before using power liftgate control.
WARNING:Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.
Note:Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Press twice within three seconds to open or close the liftgate,
or to reverse the movement.
Smart Unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors or the liftgate and you lock the
vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock then
unlock if your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked with the key in the ignition by:
•locking the driver’s door with a key
•using the lock control on the remote control
•using the keyless entry keypad.
If both front doors and the liftgate are closed, the vehicle can be locked
from any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

LIFTGATE
WARNING:It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a safety belt properly.
Power Liftgate
WARNING:Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent
exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with
the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air
comes into the vehicle.
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING:Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to an open
or moving power liftgate.
Note:Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could
result in damage to the liftgate or its power components. Make sure the
liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.
If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the
liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 centimeters) from being latched, the liftgate
may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the liftgate is closed
before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a
garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be
damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.
When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the
liftgate may stop about 5 inches (13 centimeters) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pressing it upward to the
maximum open position.
