How do I adjust the Ambient Lighting in my Lincoln vehicle?

You can adjust your interior lighting using your SYNC®* system (if equipped) or with the buttons on your overhead console (vehicles without SYNC).

This feature allows you to personalize your vehicle interior. It turns on when the ignition and the headlamps are switched on, and, depending on your vehicle, it may illuminate:

  • Cupholders.
  • Door map pockets and release handles.
  • Front and rear footwells.
  • Console storage.
  • Passenger-side instrument panel light bars.
  • Media bins.
