Lincoln Aviator: Liftgate / Obstacle Detection and Switching the Power Liftgate On or Off
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. Before driving
off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate
or door ajar message or warning indicator.
Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open
while driving.
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. A tone sounds and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.
When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the liftgate.
Switching the Power Liftgate On or Off
You can switch the power liftgate on or off
through the vehicle settings on your
touchscreen.
When switched off, the liftgate only unlatches
and will not power open or close.
Open the liftgate.
Stop the liftgate movement by pressing
the control button on the liftgate when it
reaches the desired height.Note: Once the liftgate has stopped
moving,
you can also manually move it to the desired
height...
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...
