*Don't drive while distracted or while using handheld devices. Use voice-operated systems when possible. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear. Not all features are compatible with all phones.
**Connected Navigation and Connected Built-In Navigation services require SYNC 4 and a vehicle modem (optional on select vehicles), complimentary connected service, and the Lincoln app (see Lincoln terms for details). Eligible vehicles receive a complimentary trial of navigation services that begins on the new vehicle warranty start date. Customers must unlock the navigation service trial by activating the eligible vehicle with a Lincoln app member account. If not subscribed by the end of the complimentary period, the connected navigation service will terminate, and the system will revert to embedded offline navigation. Connected service and features depend on compatible cellular network availability. Evolving technology/cellular networks/vehicle capability may limit functionality and prevent the operation of connected features. The Lincoln app, compatible with select smartphone platforms, is available via a download. Message and data rates may apply.
