HEAD UP DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)
This is a visual system that shows information
in your field of view as you drive. The
information comes from various vehicle
systems and includes vehicle speed, speed
limit, navigation, and advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS), such as adaptive
cruise control (ACC) and the lane keeping
system. This system projects the information
off the windshield, and focuses the image near the end of the hood approximately
7 ft
(2 m) in front of the driver. Viewing this
information does not require you to
significantly move your head, allowing you
to keep your eyes on the road while having
quick and easy access to information.
Configuring The Head Up Display
You can control the system's options through
the information display by using the 4-way
toggle on the right-hand side of your steering
wheel. See General Information (page 130).
You can adjust the display according to your
height to make viewing the content easier.
You can also adjust what content displays
and the brightness of the content. The
system's options appear in the instrument
cluster while the updates happen in the HUD. Note:
If HUD On is unchecked, other options
of the system are hidden.
Note: The HUD menu automatically closes
after a certain period of inactivity.
Note: The HUD image brightness
automatically adjusts to the brightness of
the ambient environment. You have the
ability to adjust the brightness further
according to your preference.
Note: In some instances, sunlight can cause
some reflections in and around the HUD
image.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
Note: You cannot shift out of park (P) unless
the intelligent access key is inside your
vehicle.
Understanding Your Transmission
Selector Positions
Your vehicle has an electronic transmission
shifter. The transmission selector is on the
center stack below the touchscreen. Park.P
Reverse.
R
Neutral.
N
Drive.D
The instrument cluster displays the current
gear. Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your vehicle
locks the transmission and prevents the
wheels from turning. Always come to a
complete stop before putting your vehicle
into and out of park (P). An audible tone
sounds once you select park (P).
When you switch the ignition off, your vehicle
shifts into park (P). If you switch the ignition
off while your vehicle is moving, the
transmission first shifts into neutral (N) until
it reaches a speed less than 3 mph (5 km/h)
and then shifts into park (P).
The electric parking brake could apply when
you shift to park (P) without the brake pedal
fully pressed. The electric parking brake
applies when you shift to park (P) on large
slopes. The electric parking brake releases
with the drive away release function, or
manually as described in the Releasing the
Electric Parking Brake section.
See Electric
Parking Brake (page 236).
Note: A warning tone sounds if you open the
driver door and you have not shifted the
transmission selector to park (P).

Aviator (CTV) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201902, Third-Printing- TransmissionE247220

Reverse (R)
With the transmission selector in reverse (R),
your vehicle moves backward. Always come
to a complete stop before shifting into and
out of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the transmission selector in neutral (N),
you can start your vehicle and it is free to
roll. Hold the brake pedal down when in this
position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy and smoothness. Shift
the transmission selector to drive (D) to allow
your vehicle to move forward and shift
through the forward gears.
The transmission shifts to the appropriate
gear for optimum performance based on
ambient temperature, road slope, vehicle
load and your input.
Automatic Return to Park
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.
• You do not have your seatbelt fastened
and you open the driver door.
• The driver door is open and you unfasten
your seatbelt.
If you switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving, your vehicle shifts into
neutral (N) until it slows down enough to shift
into park (P).
Note: This feature does not work properly if
the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If your
door ajar indicator does not illuminate when
you open or close the driver door, or the
Transmission not in Park message still
displays in the information display when the
shifter has already selected (R), (N) or (D) and
the driver door remains closed, see your
authorized dealer. 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:
224
Aviator (CTV) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201902, Third-Printing- Transmission

1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Shift into neutral (N).
3. 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.
SelectShift Automatic ™ Transmission
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. To prevent the engine from running at too
low an RPM, which could cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts if it
determines that you have not downshifted
in time. Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time if the SelectShift
determines that damage to the engine from
over-revving cannot occur.
Note:
Engine damage could occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
Note: Vehicles have either steering wheel
controls or gearshift lever controls.
SelectShift could upshift if the engine is
approaching the RPM limit. It can also be
upshifted manually by pressing the (+) button.
Pull the + paddle on the steering wheel or
push the + button on the gearshift lever to
activate SelectShift.
• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift. SelectShift in drive (D):
•
Provides a temporary manual mode for
performing more demanding maneuvers
where you require extra control of gear
selection, for example, when towing or
overtaking. This mode holds a selected
gear for a temporary period of time
dependent on driver inputs, for example,
steering or accelerator pedal input.
The instrument cluster displays your currently
selected gear. If you request a gear not
available due to vehicle conditions, low
speed, too high of an engine speed for the
requested gear selection, the current gear
flashes three times.
Note: At full accelerator pedal travel, the
transmission downshifts for maximum
performance.
