Lincoln Aviator: Drive Mode Control / What Is Drive Mode Control
The system delivers a driving experience
through a suite of sophisticated electronic
vehicle systems. These systems optimize
steering, handling and powertrain response.
This provides a single location to control
multiple systems performance settings.
Changing the drive mode automatically
changes the functionality of the following
systems:
- Electronically power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select.
- Electronic stability control and traction
control maintains your vehicle control in
adverse conditions or high performance
driving.
- Electronic throttle control enhances the
powertrain response to your driving
inputs.
- Transmission controls optimize with shift
schedules tuned to each mode.
- AWD settings become optimized and
tuned to each mode.
The system automatically tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.
Note: Not all settings, or modes, may be
available.
Note: The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, the mode defaults to Normal.

T type tires have some additional
information beyond those of P type tires;
these differences are described below:
