Automatic Engine Idle Shutdown
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The automatic engine idle shutdown feature monitors the state of the vehicle to determine when the engine is running with no user interaction for an extended period of time. When this condition is detected, the vehicle informs the operator that a shutdown is imminent and if the driver does not intervene, the engine shuts down.
