Safety
Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the system. See an authorized
dealer.
• Do not operate playing devices if the power cords or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Place
cords and cables out of the way,
so they do not interfere with the
operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving
abilities.

Accessing and Adjusting Modes through Your Vehicle Information
Display
E156609
The display is located on the center
of your instrument cluster. It allows
you to view and make minor
adjustments to active modes without
taking your hands off the wheel. For
example:
• In entertainment mode, you can
view what is now playing, change
the audio source, select presets
and make some adjustments.
• In navigation mode (if equipped), you can view the current route or
activate a route.
• In phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call.
E145982
Use the OK and arrow buttons on the
right side of your steering wheel to
scroll through the available modes.
The selection menu expands and
different options appear.
• Press the up and down arrows to scroll through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the mode.
348
MyLincoln Touch™

• Press the left or right arrows tomake adjustments within the
chosen mode.
• Press OK to confirm your selection.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped
with Navigation, Compass appears in
the display instead of Navigation. If you
press the right arrow to go into the
Compass menu, you can see the
compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling, not true direction
(for example, if the vehicle is traveling
west, the middle of the compass
graphic displays west; north displays
to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west).
Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of
you. The system provides feedback
through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the
chosen level of interaction (voice
settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not
sure of your request or when there are
multiple possible responses to your
request.
When using voice commands, words
and icons may appear in the lower left
status bar indicating the status of the
voice session (such as Listening,
Success, Failed, Paused or Try Again). How to Use Voice Commands with
Your System

tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any
time during a voice session

commands for the current session, do
one of the following:

voice commands associated with
your current voice session.

possible voice commands.

requested. The system may still
occasionally ask you to confirm
settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate

Using Voice Commands with the
Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode
feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and
making on-screen selections. This is
available only when the system
displays a list of candidates generated
during a voice session. For example,
when entering in a street address or
trying to call a contact from the phone
you paired to the system.
