Lincoln Aviator: Locking and Unlocking / 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.

Left-Hand Side
Turn clockwise to reset the latch.
Right-Hand Side
Turn counterclockwise to reset the latch.
When you have reset the latch, you are then
able to fully close and latch the door.
Note: You cannot open the door again until
the vehicle battery is fully charged and
operational.
Press the lock switch on the liftgate on the
left-hand side. The doors can no longer be
released using the exterior door handle
switches and the luggage compartment
locks...
If your vehicle has no power and the backup
power system is turned off, you can manually
unlatch the driver door using a key in the
position shown.
Remove the key blade from the
transmitter...
