Speedometer readout

[Cleary1986]

I have a 2021 Aviator. The speedometer displays the speed of the vehicle most of the time outside of the speedometer in small font. At other times its displayed in large font in the middle of the speedometer. Anyone have this issue and why does it occur? Can’t find any information in the manual that describes the actual speedometer display specifically. Thanks

Welcome to the Forum.

Which trim do you have? I don't know if the display layout is the same in the Reserve, GT and BL.
This is what I have in my 2020 Aviator Reserve. It is the only display that I use so I don't know if it various by display.

I had this issue and had the dealer look into it. I have the GT and it was great having it at the end of the speedometer pointer and in the middle regardless of whether the heads up display was on. I'm told its a software glitch and we shouldn't have the digital speed on the inside of the speedometer if you have the heads up display on. My daughter was the one who noticed on and off from the backseat. They supposedly expect some future software fix it so we won't have the display. I would prefer them to leave it on but that's not what they are going to do (if they even fix it).

Thanks. Same issue we are having. Was/will discuss it with the tech when I take it in for the camera blue screen/recall.

Still love the vehicle. Hope these glitches eventually get addressed and corrected

I hope so as well. The continuing annoyance I have is the handshake between the Iphone and lincoln for carplay. Waze freezes alot of times with the car thinking I'm still at home and I'm 10 miles away or the screen goes completely black and I literally have to shut the car off at an intersection and open the door to sever the link, close the door and restart the car and usually waze pops back on. When its frozen I have to plug and unplug the phone to get it to work. That was flawless in my Audi and I hate that its crappy on this car. Doesnt matter whether I use USB C or regular USB same issue.

Same kinds of gremlins we are having with our 2020 Corsair. It has a ton of great features, but the software/tech issues are really getting annoying. Going in to the dealer for the third time for the blue/screen Sync issues, and also the "system is shutting down" message that puts the car in a sleep mode because it thinks the battery is going dead (even though the battery tests just fine). Never had these kinds of issues with Honda or BMW products. I've been a Ford guy since a kid, but they need to get things sorted out.

Welcome to the Forum.

I don't believe this should be in this thread or this forum. I will ask the Admin to move it to the Corsair forum.

Hi Titan and welcome to the Lincoln Forums. Just regarding "Sleep Mode" (Deep Sleep Mode): While it seems to be a common misconception, Deep Sleep Mode does not mean the battery is going dead. The reason for Deep Sleep Mode is actually a bit of the opposite.
Deep Sleep Mode occurs when the vehicle systems detect that the battery state of charge is declining, due to various possibilities (see below), and to a point that the system will shut down ancillary, unnecessary features, in order to ensure the vehicle will be able to be started later.
Again, in most cases, Deep Sleep Mode does not mean the battery is failing/"going dead".

The vehicle systems can/will activate Deep Sleep Mode for various reasons, such as...
- The vehicle has not been started for 14 days or more. More common nowadays with the pandemic, working from home etc.
- Freezing temperatures for an extended period of days.
- The vehicle is not being driven often and/or far enough to keep the battery fully charged. Again, more common nowadays with the pandemic, working from home etc.

Sleep Mode occurring for any of the above reasons (and a few others) is completely normal, even in a vehicle with a healthy battery.

All of this and more is also explained in our Owners Manuals.

Now that being said...If sleep mode begins to activate sooner and sooner, then it can be a warning sign the battery is getting weaker and/or beginning to fail. If that does occur, have your battery professionally load tested (not an old fashioned battery meter test).

And while on that subject...When you state you had the battery tested, how and where was it tested? An old fashioned battery meter test will not properly test the battery in a modern car.

You can usually find coupons for a free battery test on the Lincoln and Ford websites. Also on many individual Lincoln and Ford Dealer websites.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
