battery LINCOLN AVIATOR 2023 Owner's Manual

When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the brake
pedal, you will see a green or white solid bar
indicating the power being used to slow
down the vehicle. You may also see a green
rectangular box which shows the amount of
power that can be recaptured by the
regenerative braking system and returned
to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is completely
within the box, the color of the bar will
be all green. This means that the
regenerative braking system is being
used to efficiently slow the vehicle down
and return the maximum percentage of
energy to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is outside of the
green box, then the bar will be white. This
means that both the regenerative braking
system and conventional braking system
are in use.Electric Efficiency
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kWh of electricity used on your
hybrid vehicle. The value is calculated only
when your available electric range is being
used and the gasoline engine is off.
Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you would
have if you plugged in and fully charged your
vehicle right now. The higher your electric
efficiency, the higher your distance per full
charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors. Best
efficiency is achieved in mild ambient
temperatures with mild to moderate
acceleration and braking, moderate speeds
and low climate control usage.INFORMATION MESSAGES

Note:The programming steps below assume
you are programming a HomeLink that was
not previously programmed. If your
HomeLink was previously programmed, you
may need to clear or reprogram your
HomeLink buttons.
Note:Put a new battery in the handheld
transmitter. This allows for quicker training
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Note:Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with the vehicle in the garage.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING: Do not plug optional
electrical accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar lighter
can cause damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty, and can result in fire or
serious injury.
Note:When you switch the ignition on, you
can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.
Note:If the power supply does not work after
you switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.
Note:Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note:Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.Do not insert objects other than an accessory
plug into the power point. This damages the
power point and may blow the fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.
USB Port and Power Point Locations
USB Ports and Power Points may be in the
following locations:
• On the lower instrument panel.
• Inside the first row center console.
• Inside the second row center console.
• On the front of the center console.
• On the rear of the center console.
• In the cargo area.• On the passenger side floor panel.
• 3rd row on the quarter trim panels.
Note:Some of the USB ports may not have
data transfer capabilities.
Note:Incorrect use of the USB ports can
cause damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
110 Volt AC Power Point
WARNING: Do not keep electrical
devices plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do not
use any extension cord with the 110 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due to
powering multiple devices that can reach
beyond the 150 watt load limit and could
result in fire or serious injury.
Note:The power point turns off when you
switch off the ignition, when the vehicle is
not in accessory mode or when the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.

WHAT IS THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER
The wireless accessory charger allows you
to charge one compatible Qi wireless
charging device on the charging area.
WIRELESS ACCESSORY CHARGER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Wireless charging
devices can affect the operation of
implanted medical devices, including
cardiac pacemakers. If you have any
implanted medical devices, we recommend
that you consult with your physician.
Keep the charging area clean and remove
foreign objects prior to charging a device.Do not place items with a magnetic strip or
radio-frequency identification chip, for
example passports, parking tickets,
transportation passes or credit cards, near
the charging area when charging a device.
Damage could occur to the magnetic strip
or radio-frequency identification chip.
Do not place metal objects, for example
remote controls, coins and candy wrappers,
on or near the charging area when charging
a device. Metal objects may heat up and
degrade the charging performance, in
addition to causing interruptions in charging.
Charging could be interrupted, degraded, or
could stop if any of the following occur:
• The system detects a foreign object.
• The device is misaligned on the charging
area.
• The device moves on the active charging
area when the vehicle is in motion.
• The vehicle ambient temperature is too
high.
• You attempt to charge a non-Qi
compatible device on the wireless
charger.Note:During charging, the device and the
charger could heat up, this is normal. If the
battery gets hotter than usual, the device
may stop charging.
LOCATING THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER
E297549
The charging area is on the center
console or in the media bin below
the instrument panel.
CHARGING A WIRELESS DEVICE
Place the device on the center of the
charging surface with the charging side
down. The charging stops after your device
reaches a full charge.
You can use the charger when the vehicle
is in accessory mode, when the vehicle is
running, or when SYNC is on.
