Lincoln Aviator: Fuel and Refueling / Refueling
WARNING: When refueling always
shut the engine off and never allow sparks
or open flames near the fuel tank filler
valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone
while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely
hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid
inhaling excess fumes.
WARNING: The fuel system may be
under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until
the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, which could cause serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Do not pry open the fuel
tank filler valve. This could damage the fuel
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in fire, personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not remove the fuel
pump nozzle from its fully inserted position
when refueling.
WARNING: Stop refueling when the
fuel pump nozzle automatically shuts off
for the first time. Failure to follow this will
fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and
could lead to fuel overflowing.
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.
WARNING: Wait at least five seconds
before removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank.
WARNING: Read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island.
- When you stop your vehicle, shift into
park (P) and switch the ignition off.

- Press the button on the left side of the
instrument panel next to the headlamp
switch to open the fuel filler door. The
fuel filler door can take up to 15 seconds
to open before you can insert a fuel filler
nozzle.

- Insert the fuel pump nozzle up to the first
notch on the nozzle A. Keep it resting
on the cover of the fuel tank filler pipe
opening.

- Hold the fuel pump nozzle in position B
when refueling. Holding the fuel pump
nozzle in position A can affect the flow
of fuel and shut off the fuel pump nozzle
before the fuel tank is full.

- Operate the fuel pump nozzle within the
area shown.

- When the pump shuts off, wait 5 seconds,
then slowly lift and remove the nozzle.
- Fully close the fuel filler door.
Note: To close the fuel filler door, press the
center rear edge of the fuel filler door and
then release.
Complete the refueling process within 20
minutes. If 20 minutes elapses, press the
button on the left side of the instrument
panel again. Fuel pump nozzle automatic
shut off could occur if you do not press the
button on the left side instrument panel.
System Warnings
If the fuel filler door fails to open, an
information message appears in the
information display.

If the information message appears, do the
following:
- Check the fuel filler door for anything that
may be obstructing its movement, for
example ice or snow.
- Remove any obstruction from the fuel
filler door.
- Press the button on the driver door to
open the fuel filler door.
- If the fuel filler door fails to open and the
information message remains in the
information display, use the fuel filler
door manual override lever.

WARNING: The fuel system may be
under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until
