Lincoln Continental (2002) [137/232] Driving

If the Traction Control娂 system is cycled excessively, the brake portion

of the system will shut down to prevent the front brakes from

overheating. A limited Traction Control娂 function using only engine

torque reduction will still control wheels from over-spinning. When the

front brakes have cooled down, the system will again function normally.

Anti-lock braking is not affected by this condition and will function

normally during the cool down period.

If a system fault is detected, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL is displayed

on the message center and your vehicle should be serviced.

AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The air suspension system is designed to improve ride, handling and

general vehicle performance during:

• certain road conditions

• steering maneuvers

• braking

• accelerations

This system keeps the rear of your vehicle at a constant level by

automatically adding air or releasing air from the springs.

If you exceed the load limit, the rear air suspension may not operate and

the system warning CHECK RIDE CONTROL may appear on the message

center.

The air suspension shut-off switch is

located on the left side of the trunk.

If this switch is in the OFF position,

the rear air suspension will not

operate.

On vehicles equipped with

Air Suspension, turn OFF

the Air Suspension switch prior to

jacking, hoisting or towing your

vehicle.

Normal vehicle operation does not

require any action by the driver.
