Lincoln Aviator: Unique Driving Characteristics / Auto-Start-Stop - Excluding: Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

The system helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically stopping and restarting the engine when your vehicle has stopped. The engine restarts automatically when you release the brake pedal.

In some situations, your vehicle may restart automatically, for example:

• To maintain interior comfort.
• To recharge the battery.

Note: Power assist steering turns off when the engine is off.

Note: If your vehicle is flex fuel capable, Auto-Start-Stop will be inhibited for a short time after a refuel event while the system is verifying the fuel type being used.
