Lincoln Aviator (2020 year). Instruction — part 16

WARNING: The parking aid system

can only assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking speeds.
To help avoid personal injury you must
take care when using the parking aid
system.

Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.

Note: Do not cover up the sensors.

Note: Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this may
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.

Note: Some accessories, for example large
trailer hitches or bike or surfboard racks can
cause reduced performance or false alerts.

The sensors are on the front bumper.

The sensors are active when the
transmission is in any position other than
park (P). When the parking aid system
sounds a tone, the audio system may reduce
the set volume.

A warning tone sounds when your vehicle
approaches an object. As your vehicle
moves closer to an object, the rate of the
tone increases. The warning tone
continuously sounds when an object is 12 in
(30 cm) or less from the front bumper.

Note: There is a decreased coverage area
at the outer corners.

The system turns off when the vehicle speed
reaches 5 mph (8 km/h).

E187330

The sensor coverage area is up to 28 in
(70 cm) from the center of the bumper.

If the transmission is in reverse (R), the
system detects objects when your vehicle is
moving at low speed or an object is moving
toward your vehicle, for example another
vehicle at low speed. When you stop your
vehicle, the audible warning turns off after
two seconds.

If the transmission is in any forward gear, the
system provides audible warnings when your
vehicle is moving and an object is within the
detection area. When you stop your vehicle,
the audible warning turns off after two
seconds and the visual warning turns off after
four seconds.

If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information display.

detect a parking space.

The sensors may be blocked. For example, snow, ice or large accumulations of dirt.
Blocked sensors can affect how the system functions.

The system does not offer a parking space.

The sensors in the front or rear bumper could be damaged.

There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park.

There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
space.

The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than 2 ft (0.5 m) away.

254

Aviator (CTV) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201902, Second-Printing

Parking Aids

Possible Cause

Symptom

The vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking or greater than
19 mph (30 km/h) for perpendicular parking.

You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After you reconnect the battery you
must drive your vehicle on a straight road for a short period of time.

An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from correctly aligning
your vehicle.

The system does not correctly position your vehicle
in a parking space.

Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be correctly parked.

Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space.

The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained. For example, not inflated correctly,
improper size, or of different sizes.

A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.

A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example, a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving
truck bed.

The parking space length or position of parked objects changes after your vehicle passes
the space.

You are using a spare tire or a tire that is significantly worn more than the other tires.

The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes. For example, driving from a
heated garage into cold outside temperature, or after leaving a car wash.

that still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage.

WARNING: Objects that are close to

either corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera
system.

WARNING: Reverse your vehicle

slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: Use caution when the

rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image may be
incorrect. All guidelines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.

WARNING: Use caution when turning

camera features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving.

Note: Some vehicles may not come
equipped with guidelines.

and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.

256

Aviator (CTV) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201902, Second-Printing

Parking Aids

The system uses three types of guides to
help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•

Active guidelines (if equipped): Show the
intended path of your vehicle when
reversing.

•

Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful
when backing into a parking space or
aligning your vehicle with another object
behind you.

•

Centerline: Helps align the center of your
vehicle with an object (for example, a
trailer).

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment door is open, no
rear view camera features display.

Note: When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing. This might not provide
adequate coverage as it usually provides in
normal operation and some objects might
not be seen. In some vehicles, the
guidelines may disappear when you connect
the trailer tow connector.

The camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
•

Nighttime or dark areas if one or both
reverse lamps are not operating.

•

Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
You can also use the rear washer to
clean the camera. See Rear Window
Wiper and Washers (page 102).

•

ABOUT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to adjust the
speed of your vehicle to maintain a set gap
from the vehicle in front of you in the same
lane while following it to a complete stop.
You can also engage the system to follow a
vehicle in front of you and adjust set speed
while stopped.

ABOUT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH LANE CENTERING

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
