Lincoln Aviator: Liftgate / Hands-Free Feature (If Equipped)
Make sure you have the passive key within
3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.
- Stand behind your vehicle, and face the
liftgate.
- Move your foot, in a single-kick motion,
without pausing, under and away from
the rear bumper detection area.

- The liftgate opens or closes.
Avoid the following actions when using the
hands-free opening feature:
- Making physical contact with the bumper.
- Holding your foot under the bumper.
- Sweeping your foot from side to side, or
kicking at an odd angle.
Detection Zones
Vehicles Without a Trailer Hitch

The detection area is in the center of the rear
bumper.
Vehicles With a Trailer Hitch

The detection area is on the left-hand side
and right-hand side of the hitch, between the
exhaust and the hitch.
Note: Allow the power system to open the
liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate could activate the system’s obstacle
detection feature and stop the power
operation or reverse its direction, replicate
a strut failure, or damage mechanical
components.
Note: Any physical actions that mimic a
kicking motion such as splashing water,
trailer chains or vacuum hoses could cause
the hands-free liftgate to activate. Switch the
power liftgate off through your vehicle
settings or keep the passive key away from
the rear bumper detection area.
Obstacle Detection
Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power liftgate close completely
before you enter your vehicle...
