Lincoln Aviator: Vehicle Care / Cleaning the Exterior

Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH shampoo, we recommend Motorcraft Detail Wash.

Never use strong household detergents or soap, for example dish washing or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot painted surfaces.
Never wash your vehicle when it is hot to the touch, or during strong or direct sunlight.
Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel to eliminate water spotting.
Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird droppings, insect deposits and road tar. These may cause damage to your vehicle’s paintwork or trim over time. We recommend Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
Remove any exterior accessories, for example antennas, before entering a car wash.
When filling with AdBlue®, remove any residue on painted surfaces immediately.

Note: Suntan lotions and insect repellents can damage painted surfaces. If these substances come in contact with your vehicle, wash the affected area as soon as possible.

Emergency Locking

Each door has a backup power system which allows the door to function if your vehicle has no power. The system has a limited number of operations before the power is depleted and turns off. When the system turns off, the door remains open and unlatched and does not close.

If your vehicle has no power and the backup power system is turned off, you can close and secure your vehicle by manually resetting each door latch using a key in the position shown.
