on dr y pavement.

The information display will show “ 4X4 AUTO” when this position is selected. This mode is appropriate for all on-road driving conditions,
such as dr y road sur faces, wet pavement, snow or gravel.
4X4: Provides electronically locked four-wheel drive power to all four wheels. The information display will show “ 4X4” when you select

AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability ControlTM)
Helps you keep control of your vehicle when on a slipper y sur face. The electronic stabilit y control por tion of the system helps avoid skids
and lateral slides, and roll stabilit y control helps avoid a vehicle rollover. The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss
of traction. Refer to the Stability Control chapter in your Owner’s Manual for safety information and more details.
Trailer Sway Control*
This feature applies your vehicle brakes at individual wheels and, if necessar y, reduces engine power. If the trailer begins to sway, the
stabilit y control light flashes. The first thing to do is slow your vehicle down, then pull safely to the side of the road and check for proper
tongue load and trailer load distribution. See the Load Carrying chapter in your Owner's Manual for specific loading information.

Fuel Type and Fuel Tank Capacity
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank
has a capacity of either 28 gallons (106L)
or 33.5 gallons (126.8L).
If your vehicle is a Flex Fuel vehicle, it will
have a yellow ring around the top of the
fuel filler inlet. It is designed to use only
E85 FUEL ETHANOL, UNLEADED FUEL
“Regular” unleaded gasoline or any mixture
of the two fuels. It is best not to alternate
repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you
do switch fuels, it is recommended that you
add as much fuel as possible—at least half
a tank. If you use E85 fuel exclusively, it is
recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular
unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil
change. See your Owner's Manual for more
specific information and E85 details.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a
low tire pressure warning light when
one or more of your tires are significantly
under-inflated. If this happens, stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate
them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
The temporary spare tire is located under
the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper.
It is designed for emergency use only and
should be replaced as soon as possible.
The jack and tools are located under the
access panel in the floor compartment behind
the rear seat. Make sure you turn off the
deployable running boards* prior to jacking,
hoisting or towing your vehicle. For complete
details on how to change your tire, refer to
the Roadside Emergencies chapter in your
Owner’s Manual.
Roadside Assistance
Your new Lincoln Navigator comes with
the assurance and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside assistance. To
receive roadside assistance in the
United States, call 1-800-521-4140.
In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006.
SOS Post-Crash Alert SystemTM
The system flashes the turn signal lamps and
sounds the horn (intermittently) in the event of
a serious impact that deploys an airbag.
The horn and lamps will turn off when:
the hazard control button is pressed,
the panic button* on your remote
entry transmitter is pressed, or
your vehicle runs out of power.
Essential Information
Easy Fuel® System
Easy Fuel system is self sealing and
therefore protected against dust, dirt,
water, snow and ice. This type of fuel
system is capless. A locking plug, as
shown, is available. To refill your fuel
tank, open the fuel filler door by pulling
the indent on the door, insert the nozzle
and start fueling. Wait 10 seconds from the time the refueling nozzle
is shut off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow
residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. If you need to fill \
your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel
which is included with the tire changing tools. Slowly insert the
funnel into the Easy Fuel system and fill the tank with fuel from the
container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it.
Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do
not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage.
Fuel-efficient Transmission
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by
reducing fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be
perceived as a light to medium braking sensation when removing
your foot from the accelerator pedal.
