Driving Aids

Using Lincoln Drive Control You can configure which of the Drive Control modes are active when your vehicle is in drive (D) or in sport (S). The configuration remains active until modified from the main menu on the information display.

Lincoln Drive Control consists of the following systems: • Continuously controlled damping dynamically adjusts the shock absorbers stiffness in real time to match the road surface and driver inputs. This system continuously monitors your vehicle’s motion (roll, pitch, bounce), suspension position, load, speed, road conditions, and steering to adjust the suspension damping for optimal vehicle control. • Electronically power-assisted steering adjusts steering effort and feel based on your vehicle speed and your inputs. • Active noise control utilizes your vehicle electronics to enhance the acoustic experience. • Electronic stability control and traction control maintain your vehicle control in adverse conditions or high performance driving. • Electronic throttle control enhances the powertrain response to your inputs.

DRIVE CONTROL (If Equipped) LINCOLN DRIVE CONTROL Lincoln Drive Control delivers the Lincoln driving experience through a suite of sophisticated electronic vehicle systems. These systems continuously monitor your driving inputs and the road conditions to optimize ride comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and sound. You can preset your preferences for these systems within the information display. Lincoln Drive Control will respond to your preferences based on what gear position you select. This provides a single location to control multiple systems performance settings.
