Drive mode controller

I noticed that you can push the button down. I am assuming that this reverts the mode to default driving mode. Am I wrong?

I rotate the button to the mode that I want and then press the button to select it.

I turn the knob but never push the button. I probably had my Corsair for a year before I even realized it had a button to press.

I’ve had my Corsair for more than 2 years, select conserve mode at startup, and didn’t realize I could push the button.

I know! It's not in the manual nor on Linclon videos. I might have to go to the dealer and find out.

I don't see anything about pushing the drive mode knob in my manual. What I do observe happening though is that on pushing the knob the display momentarily changes to a screen describing the selected mode.

I've been playing with the button on my '25 model. If I push the button, it turns on the drive selctions immediatly and I can turn the knob to the desired mode (seems to be the most efficient way to select a mode). I have always just turned the knob to get to the selections, but it seems like I was spinning it before it shows me the selections (I'm no longer doing this after just learning about the button in the middle).

But what does pushing down on the button do? Because the drive modes changes regardless if I push the button or not. Why is it not mentioned in the manual.

You can start the selection mode by either pressing the button or turning the button once, which is what the owners manual says to do. I never realized that turning the button once was doing this, and as a result, I often overshot my mode target. Since reading this string, I now realize that pushing the button is an easier approach, even though the manual doesn’t say anything about this.

I know! I have to say this must be an oversight Ford missed.

Someone at Lincoln knows something because there are two separate functions, the spinning knob and the push button. A single function would have been easier and cheaper, so somebody had a plan for the two functions but never told the folks writing the owner's manual what their reasoning was.

There are two things I have to do every time I restart my car that could be made to remember the last setting.
1. Which drive mode was last used and preferred.
2. Turning off the auto stop/start function every restart.
