wheel LINCOLN AVIATOR 2020 User Guide

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon
activation. After airbag deployment, it is
normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery
residue or smell the burnt propellant. This
may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to
lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (for
example, baking soda) that result from the
combustion process that inflates the airbag.
Small amounts of sodium hydroxide may be
present which may irritate the skin and eyes,
but none of the residue is toxic.
While the system is designed to help reduce
serious injuries, contact with a deploying
airbag may also cause abrasions or swelling.
Temporary hearing loss is also a possibility
as a result of the noise associated with a
deploying airbag. Because airbags must
inflate rapidly and with considerable force,
there is the risk of death or serious injuries
such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or
internal injuries, particularly to occupants
who are not properly restrained or are
otherwise out of position at the time of airbag
deployment. Thus, it is extremely important
that occupants be properly restrained as far
away from the airbag module as possible
while maintaining vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags is not
required.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER
AIRBAGS
WARNING: Do not place your arms
on the airbag cover or through the steering
wheel. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury. WARNING:
Keep the areas in front
of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment or in a sudden
stop. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death. WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure
a child in a child restraint. Never place a
rear-facing child restraint in front of an
active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child restraint in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the child
restraint is installed all the way back. The driver and front passenger airbags will
deploy during significant frontal and near
frontal crashes.

WHAT IS 911 ASSIST
911 Assist is a SYNC system feature that can
call for help if you are in an accident. If a
crash deploys an airbag, excluding knee
airbags and rear inflatable seatbelts [if
equipped], or activates the fuel pump
shut-off, your SYNC-equipped vehicle may
be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected
Bluetooth enabled phone. You can learn
more about the 911 Assist feature, by visiting:
Website
www.owner.lincoln.com
www.syncmyride.ca
www.syncmaroute.ca
Not all crashes will deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off, the triggers
for 911 Assist. If a connected cell phone
sustains damage or loses its connection to
SYNC during a crash, SYNC will search for
and try to connect to a previously paired cell
phone. SYNC will then attempt to call the
emergency services. Before making the call:
•
SYNC provides a short window of time,
about 10 seconds, to cancel the call. If
you fail to cancel the call, SYNC attempts
to dial 911.
• SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: SYNC will attempt to call 911,
to cancel the call, press Cancel on your
screen or press and hold the phone
button on your steering wheel.
If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and then
the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able to talk
with the operator. Be prepared to
immediately provide your name, phone
number and location, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this
information electronically.
During an emergency call, the system
transmits vehicle data to the emergency
service. See Data Recording (page 12). EMERGENCY CALL
REQUIREMENTS WARNING: Do not wait for 911 Assist
to make an emergency call if you can do
it yourself. Dial emergency services
immediately to avoid delayed response
time which could increase the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash. If you
do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds
of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional. WARNING: Always place your phone
in a secure location in your vehicle so it
does not become a projectile or get
damaged in a crash. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury to someone or
damage the phone which could prevent
911 Assist from working properly. WARNING: Unless the 911 Assist
setting is set on before a crash, the system
will not dial for help which could delay
response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash.

The heated steering wheel button is on the
climate controls. Press the button to switch the
heated steering wheel on and off.
Note: You can use the heated steering
wheel only when the engine is running. Note:
The system uses a sensor and is
designed to control the temperature of the
steering wheel and to prevent it from
overheating.
Note: In warm temperatures, the steering
wheel quickly reaches its maximum
temperature and the system reduces the
current to the heating element. This could
cause you to think that the system has
stopped working but it has not. This is
normal.

normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and let
the engine cool.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and indicators
alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious. Some lamps illuminate
when you start your vehicle to make sure
they work. If any lamps remain on after
starting your vehicle, refer to the respective
system warning lamp for further information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp, but do not display
when you start your vehicle. Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped) The speed control system indicator
light changes color to indicate
what mode the system is in.
See
How Does Adaptive Cruise Control With
Stop and Go Work
(page 269).
On (white light): Illuminates when you switch
on the adaptive cruise control system. Turns
off when the speed control system is turned
off.
Engaged (green light): Illuminates when you
engage the adaptive cruise control system.
Turns off when you disengage the speed
control system.
Adaptive Steering
(If Equipped) The adaptive steering system
indicator illuminates if the system
detects a fault during the
continuous diagnostic checks. Adaptive Steering Initialization (yellow,
flashing): The adaptive steering system
detects a difference between steering wheel
angle and the desired road wheel angle. The
steering wheel adjusts itself to correct this
difference. This adjustment is part of normal
system operation.
Adaptive Steering Off (yellow, solid): The
adaptive steering system is off. It is possible
that the steering wheel may not be straight
when you drive straight ahead. If this
message persists, see an authorized dealer.
Adaptive Steering Loss (red, solid): The
adaptive steering system integrity cannot be
verified. Do not drive the vehicle and contact
an authorized dealer immediately.
See
Steering (page 299).
Anti-Lock Braking System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a system
error. You continue to have the
normal braking (without ABS) unless the
brake system warning lamp also illuminates.
Have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
