LINCOLN AVIATOR 2021 Owners Manual

Vehicle Driving Range
Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle will travel with the
energy currently onboard. Estimates will vary
based on the energy used while driving.
Changes in driving pattern can cause the
values to not only decrease but also increase
or stay constant for periods of time.
The amount of energy being used while
driving is affected by:
•
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Use of accessories such as climate
control. •
Ambient temperature and other weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on hilly road conditions.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range estimates
to vary due to changes in average energy
usage. This is why you typically see different
range estimates each time you fill up your
fuel tank or fully charge your battery.
Gasoline Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank.
Electric Range
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on electric power only with
the engine off. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury.
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is 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.
