Lincoln Aviator: Rear Seats / Adjusting the Third Row Power Seats

WARNING: Do not fold a seat if it is occupied. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.

WARNING: Do not place cargo or any objects behind the seatback before returning it to the original position.

WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle with a seat that is unlatched or in the folded position. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

Note: The power rear seat functions disable 10 minutes after you switch the ignition off. The transmission must be in park (P) and the liftgate must be open to operate the seats.

The control buttons are inside the liftgate area.

1. Press to fold the left-hand third row seat.
2. Press to fold and unfold both third row seats.
3. Press to fold the right-hand third row seat.

To return the third-row seat backrest to the original position, press the corresponding control again.

If the seats are inoperable, do the following:

1. Make sure that the engine is running and the tailgate is open.
2. Make sure that there are no objects on the seats that would prevent them from folding completely.
3. Press and hold button B for one minute until both seats completely fold and unfold.
4. Press button A and button C to confirm each seat is operational.

Note: During this procedure, the seat may appear to be fully unfolded. Continue holding the switch for a few seconds.

If the power rear seat disables after 10 minutes, you can enable the seat by:

• Opening any door.
• Pressing the unlock button on the key fob.
• Pressing any keyless entry keypad button.
• Switching the ignition on.
