display when the steering wheel position is
straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
away. Objects are getting closer to your
vehicle as they move from the green zone
to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get better
coverage on both sides and rear of the
vehicle. Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system will provide an image of your
vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones will
highlight green, yellow and red when the

Note:
If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message may display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor automatically recalibrates
successfully.
DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Lincoln Drive Modes
Lincoln Drive Modes deliver a driving
experience through a suite of sophisticated
electronic vehicle systems. These systems
optimize steering, handling and powertrain
response. You can control performance
settings for multiple systems from this single
location.
Changing the drive mode automatically
changes the functionality of the following
systems: •
Electronically power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select. See
Steering (page 297).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control in
adverse conditions or high performance
driving. See Stability Control (page 248).
• Electronic throttle control enhances the
powertrain response to your inputs.
• Transmission controls optimize with shift
schedules tuned to each mode.
• Driveline settings optimize for each
mode.
Using the System
The system automatically tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select. To change the drive mode setting, use the
drive mode selector on the center console.
Note:
Mode changes are not available when
the vehicle ignition is off or when the engine
is not running.
Note: Not all settings may be available.

•
NORMAL – For everyday driving. This
mode is a perfect balance of excitement,
comfort and convenience.
• EXCITE – For aggressive on-road driving.
This mode increases throttle response,
provides a sportier steering feel, along
with quicker shifting. The suspension
stiffens, with an emphasis on handling
and control. The transmission also holds
gears longer, helping your vehicle
accelerate faster when shifting gears.
• CONSERVE
– Enables efficient and
responsible driving. It helps deliver
maximum fuel efficiency and increases
driving range.
• NORMAL 4A
– For general on-road
driving. Use this mode on normal firm
surfaces such as dry or wet pavement
and hard packed dirt or gravel roads.
Delivers power to all four wheels, as
required. •
SLIPPERY
– For less than ideal road
conditions, such as snow or ice covered
roads. Slippery mode inspires confidence
without taking away from driving
pleasure. Slippery mode lowers throttle
response and optimizes shifting for
slippery surfaces.
• DEEP CONDITIONS
– Used for crossing
terrain that has deformable deep, rutted
surfaces such as mud, deep snow or
deep sand. Do not use on dry, hard
surfaced roads.
• SLOW CLIMB
– Used when you need
extra power, such as when climbing
steep grades, going through deep sand
or pulling a boat out of a launch ramp.
Do not use on dry, hard surfaced roads.
Slow Climb mode puts you in 4x4 Low
drive line settings.
Note: Slow Climb is only available on
vehicles with 4x4 and a two-speed transfer
case. Note:
The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. Certain drive modes are not
available based on gear shifter position. If
a mode is unavailable due to a system fault
or change in gear shifter position, the mode
defaults to
NORMAL.

TOWING A TRAILER
WARNING: Towing trailers
beyond the maximum recommended
gross trailer weight exceeds the limit
of your vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage,
structural damage, loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury. WARNING:
Do not exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
certification label.
Note: See
Recommended Towing
Weights (page 327).
Your vehicle may have electrical items,
such as fuses or relays, related to
towing.
See Fuses (page 360). Your vehicle's load capacity designation
is by weight, not by volume, so you
cannot necessarily use all available
space when loading a vehicle or trailer.
Towing a trailer places an extra load on
your vehicle's engine, transmission, axle,
brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect
these components periodically during,
and after, any towing operation.
Load Placement
To help minimize how trailer movement
affects your vehicle when driving:
•
Load the heaviest items closest to
the trailer floor.
• Load the heaviest items centered
between the left and right side trailer
tires. •
Load the heaviest items above the
trailer axles or just slightly forward
toward the trailer tongue. Do not
allow the final trailer tongue weight
to go above or below 10-15% of the
loaded trailer weight.
• Select a ball mount with the correct
rise or drop and load capacity. When
both the loaded vehicle and trailer
are connected, the trailer frame
should be level, or slightly angled
down toward your vehicle, when
viewed from the side.
When driving with a trailer or payload, a
slight takeoff vibration or shudder may
be present due to the increased payload
weight. Additional information regarding
proper trailer loading and setting your
vehicle up for towing is located in
another chapter of this manual.
See
Load Limit (page 309).
You can also find information in the
RV
& Trailer Towing Guide available at your
authorized dealer, or online.

1.
Grab the trailer hitch cover at the bottom
and pull towards the rear of the vehicle
until the bottom of the trailer hitch cover
unsnaps from the bumper.
2. Grab the trailer hitch cover at the edge and rotate until the top of the trailer hitch
cover unsnaps from the bumper, then
remove the trailer hitch cover.
To install the trailer hitch cover: 1. Line up the snaps on the trailer hitch
cover to the holes on the bumper and
push forward until it snaps into place.
Hitches WARNING: Do not cut, drill, weld or
modify the trailer hitch. Modifying the trailer
hitch could reduce the hitch rating.
Do not use a hitch that either clamps onto
the bumper or attaches to the axle.
Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of the
total trailer weight is on the tongue. Integrated Hitch Rating WARNING:
Towing trailers beyond
the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of your vehicle
and could result in engine damage,
transmission damage, structural damage,
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and
personal injury.
The standard integrated hitch has two ratings
depending on mode of operation:
• Weight-carrying mode requires a draw
bar and hitch ball. The draw bar supports
all the vertical tongue load of the trailer.
• Weight-distributing mode requires an
aftermarket weight-distributing system,
which includes draw bar, hitch ball, spring
bars and snap-up brackets. This system
distributes the vertical tongue load of the
trailer between the truck and the trailer.
You must use a weight-distributing hitch for
weights above 6,000 lb (2,721 kg), up to your
vehicle's maximum towing capacity.
331
Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First-Printing TowingE268259 E268260

Note:
These are hitch ratings only. Actual
vehicle ratings are dependent on engine,
transmission and axle combinations.
Weight-distributing Hitch WARNING: Do not adjust the spring
bars so that your vehicle's rear bumper is
higher than before attaching the trailer.
Doing so will defeat the function of the
weight-distributing hitch, which may cause
unpredictable handling, and could result
in serious personal injury.
When hooking-up a trailer using a
weight-distributing hitch, always use the
following procedure:
1. Park the loaded vehicle, without the trailer, on a level surface.
2. Measure the height to the top of your vehicle's front wheel opening on the
fender. This is H1.
3. Attach the loaded trailer to your vehicle without the weight-distributing bars
connected. 4. Measure the height to the top of your
vehicle's front wheel opening on the
fender a second time. This is H2.
5. Install and adjust the tension in the weight-distributing bars so that the height
of your vehicle's front wheel opening on
the fender is approximately half the way
down from H2, toward H1.
6. Check that the trailer is level or slightly nose down toward your vehicle. If not,
adjust the ball height accordingly and
repeat Steps 2-6.
When the trailer is level or slightly nose down
toward the vehicle:
• Lock the bar tension adjuster in place.
• Check that the trailer tongue securely
attaches and locks onto the hitch.
• Install safety chains, lighting and trailer
brake controls as required by law or the
trailer manufacturer. Safety Chains
Note:
Do not attach safety chains to the
bumper. Always connect the safety chains
to the frame or hook retainers of your trailer
hitch.
Install trailer safety chains to the trailer hitch
as recommended by the manufacturer. Cross
the chains under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning tight corners. Do
not allow the chains to drag on the ground. If the trailer safety chain hook has a latch,
make sure the latch fully closes.

Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing up to
get the feel of your vehicle-trailer
combination before starting on a trip. When
turning, make wider turns so the trailer
wheels clear curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
•
Do not drive faster than 70 mph
(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi
(800 km).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
• Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly after
you have traveled
50 mi (80 km).
• When stopped in congested or heavy
traffic during hot weather, place the
transmission in park (P) to aid engine and
transmission cooling and to help A/C
performance.
• Turn off the speed control when carrying
heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The speed
control may turn off automatically when
you are towing on long, steep grades. •
Shift to a lower gear when driving down
a long or steep hill. Do not apply the
brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.
• If your transmission has a Grade Assist
or Tow/Haul feature, use this feature
when towing. This provides engine
braking and helps eliminate excessive
transmission shifting for optimum fuel
economy and transmission cooling.
• If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with
RSC, this system may turn on during
typical cornering maneuvers with a
heavily loaded trailer. This is normal.
Turning the corner at a slower speed
while towing may reduce this tendency.
• If your vehicle has Adaptive suspension,
you can select NORMAL or SPORT drive
control modes for better experience
when towing a trailer.
See Information
Displays (page 134). •
If you are towing a trailer frequently in
hot weather, hilly conditions, at the gross
combined weight rating (or any
combination of these factors), consider
refilling your rear axle with synthetic gear
lubricant (if the axle is not already filled
with it).
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 438).
• Allow more distance for stopping with a
trailer attached. Anticipate stops and
brake gradually.
• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if
you must park on a grade:
1. Turn the steering wheel to point your vehicle tires away from traffic flow.
2. Set your vehicle parking brake.
3. Place the transmission in park (P).
4. Place wheel chocks in the front and back
of the trailer wheels.
Note: Chocks are not included with your
vehicle.
337
Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First-Printing Towing

Your vehicle may be equipped with a
temporary or conventional spare tire. A
temporary spare tire is different in size
(diameter or width), tread-type (All-Season
or All-Terrain) or is from a different
manufacturer than the road tires on your
vehicle. Consult information on the tire label
or Safety Compliance label for limitations
when using.
Launching or Retrieving a Boat or
Personal Watercraft (PWC)
Note:
Disconnect the wiring to the trailer
before backing the trailer into the water.
Note: Reconnect the wiring to the trailer
after
removing the trailer from the water.
When backing down a ramp during boat
launching or retrieval:
• Do not allow the static water level to rise
above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher than
6 in (15 cm)
above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper. Exceeding these limits may allow water to
enter vehicle components:
•
Causing internal damage to the
components.
• Affecting driveability, emissions, and
reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime the
rear axle has been submerged in water.
Water may have contaminated the rear axle
lubricant, which is not normally checked or
changed unless a leak is suspected or other
axle repair is required.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR
WHEELS WARNING:
If your vehicle has a
steering wheel lock make sure the ignition
is in the accessory or on position when
being towed. Recreational Towing
Note:
Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.
See
Climate Control (page 166).
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing, such as towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to prevent damage
to your transmission.
Two-wheel Drive Vehicles
You cannot tow a two-wheel drive vehicle
with any wheels on the ground as vehicle or
transmission damage may occur. You must
tow your vehicle with all four wheels off the
ground, for example when using a
car-hauling trailer.
Four-wheel Drive Vehicles Without
SLOW
CLIMB Mode
You cannot tow your vehicle with any wheels
on the ground or vehicle damage may occur.
You must tow your vehicle with all four
wheels off the ground, for example when
using a car-hauling trailer.
