Lincoln Aviator: Starting a Hybrid Electric Vehicle System / Automatic Engine Shutdown. Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
Automatic Engine Shutdown
For vehicles with a keyless ignition, this
feature automatically shuts down the engine
if it has been idling for an extended period.
The ignition also turns off in order to save
battery power. Before your vehicle shuts
down, a message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting down from
30 seconds. If you do not intervene within
30 seconds, your vehicle shuts down.
Another message appears in the information
display to inform you that your vehicle has
shut down to save fuel. Start your vehicle
as you normally do.
Note: Automatic Engine Shutdown may be
more frequent for hybrid vehicles.
Automatic Engine Shutdown Override
Note: You cannot permanently switch off the
automatic shutdown feature. When you
switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the

You can stop the shutdown, or reset the

countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:
- You can reset the timer by interacting
with your vehicle, for example pressing
the brake or accelerator pedal.

shutdown feature any time the ignition is
on using the information display. The
feature only remains off for the current
ignition cycle.
- During the 30-second countdown, the
system prompts you to press OK or
RESET to temporarily switch the feature
off for the current ignition cycle only.
