AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure the vehicle is in P
(Park). Turn the ignition off whenever you
leave your vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously for
more than three seconds will limit engine
rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.
Push Button Shift Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
transmission. The shift buttons are located
on the instrument panel, next to the
MyLincoln Touch system. The gears are
selected by pressing and releasing the
PRNDL buttons.

Understanding the Positions of your
Electronic Transmission
Note: Always come to a complete stop
before putting your vehicle into and out
of P (Park).
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Press and release the button on the
instrument panel of the gear you want
to select.
3. The gear shift button you select will
illuminate and the instrument cluster
will show the selected gear.
4. Release the brake pedal and your
transmission will remain in the selected
gear.
Note: If the driver attempts to leave the
vehicle while it is in gear, the vehicle will
automatically shift into P (Park). Seatbelt
and door monitors determine the driver's
intent and makes the shift for you. During
this time a Transmission not in Park
message will appear in the display screen,
prompting the driver to make the shift. To
put the vehicle in gear with the door open
perform steps 1-4. See the Automatic
Return to Park section in this chapter for
more information on this feature.
