How do I adjust the Ambient Lighting in my Lincoln?
You can adjust your interior lighting using your SYNC®* system (if equipped) or with the buttons on your overhead console (vehicles without SYNC).
The Ambient Lighting feature allows you to personalize your vehicle's interior. It turns on when the ignition and the headlamps are switched on, and, depending on your vehicle, it illuminates:
- Cupholders.
- Door map pockets and release handles.
- Front and rear footwells.
- Console storage.
- Passenger-side instrument panel light bars.
- Media bins.
Changing Your Vehicle's Ambient Lighting
Important: Ensure your vehicle is on and running in a well-ventilated area, and is in Park (P).
