Lincoln Navigator (2019 year). Manual — part 6

USING POWER RUNNING BOARDS

WARNING: In extreme climates,

excessive ice buildup may occur, causing
the running boards not to deploy. Make
sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running
boards will resume normal function once
the blockage is cleared.

WARNING: Switch off the running

boards before jacking or placing any object
under your vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury.

Note: Do not use the running boards, front
and rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Always use proper jacking points.

Note: The running boards may operate more
slowly in cool temperatures.

Note: The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the running boards
to the deployed position. Then, wash the
system, in particular the front and rear hinge
arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand.

Automatic Power Deploy

E166682

The running boards automatically extend
down and out when you open the door. This
can help you enter and exit your vehicle.

For vehicles with intelligent access, the
remote control determines your proximity to
the vehicle. As the remote control enters
approximately 8.9 ft (2.7 m) of the vehicle,
some exterior lights illuminate and the power
running boards deploy automatically. In
addition to deploying on both sides of the
vehicle, there is illumination around the
power running boards. The deployment is
configurable in the advanced settings of the
information display. If the configuration is
turned off, the power running boards do not
automatically deploy.

Note: Automatic power deploy approach
detection does not unlock or lock the vehicle.
It also does not interfere with the alarm
system.

Automatic Power Stow

When you close the doors, the running
boards return to the stowed position after a
two-second delay.

Manual Power Deploy

You can manually operate the running
boards in the advanced settings of the
information display. See General
Information (page 120).

Set the running boards in the deployed
position to access the roof.

The running boards return to the stowed
position and enter automatic mode when the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).

Enabling and Disabling

You can enable and disable the power
running board feature in the advanced
settings of the information display. See
General Information (page 120).

•

When disabled (OFF), the running boards
move to the stowed position regardless
of the door position.

•

When enabled (AUTO), the running
boards move back to the correct
positions based on the door position.

Bounce-back

The running board will reverse direction and
move to the end of travel if it encounters an
object while moving.

AUTOWIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch the windshield wipers on.

Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers off before entering a car wash.

Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.

Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps automatically
turn on when the windshield wipers
continuously operate.

Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,
snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing.

E247166

On.

A

High sensitivity.

B

Low sensitivity.

C

Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity
of the autowipers. When you select low
sensitivity, the wipers operate when the
sensor detects a large amount of water on
the windshield. When you select high
sensitivity, the wipers operate when the
sensor detects a small amount of water on
the windshield.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit
the windshield.

In these conditions, you can do the following:
•

Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on the
windshield.

•

Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.

•

Switch autowipers off.

Autowipers Settings

Autowipers default to on and remain on until
you switch them off in the information
display. When you switch off autowipers, the
wipers operate in intermittent mode. See
General Information (page 120).

Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit

The rain sensing feature will not operate
when you place the vehicle in RUN position,
the vehicle is stationary and the outside
temperature is below 32°F (0°C). You can
manually switch on the wipers by adjusting
the rain sensor sensitivity or adjusting the
wiper speed.

This prevents damage to the wipers from ice
and snow on the windshield.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps

Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes in
air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can occur when
the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on
the interior of the lens. The fine mist
eventually clears and exits through the vents
during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

•

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:
•

A water puddle inside the lamp.

•

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL

(IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The system does not

relieve you of your responsibility to drive
with due care and attention. You may need
to override the system if it does not turn
the high beams on or off.

The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns off high beams before they can
distract other road users. Low beams remain
on.

Note: The system may not operate properly
if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield
free from obstruction or damage.

Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.

Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message may
appear in the information display if the
camera is blocked.

Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams
on and off.

Once the system is active, the high beams
turn on if:
•

The ambient light level is low enough.

•

There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.

•

The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).
