Lincoln Aviator: Remote Control / Replacing the Battery
WARNING: Keep batteries away from
children to prevent ingestion. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death. If ingested,
immediately seek medical attention.
WARNING: If the battery
compartment does not securely close, stop
using the remote control and replace it as
soon as possible. In the meantime, keep
the remote control away from children.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death.
A message appears in the information
display when the remote control battery is
low. The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery, CR2450, or
equivalent.
- Push the release button and pull the key
blade out.

- Twist a thin coin under the tab hidden
behind the key blade head to remove
the battery cover.

- Insert a screwdriver in the position shown
and carefully remove the battery.

- Insert a new battery with the + facing
upward.
- Reinstall the battery cover onto the
remote control and install the key blade.
Note: Refer to local regulations before you
dispose of the remote control batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the remote control battery
does not erase the programmed key from
your vehicle. The remote control operates
as normal.
Car Finder
Press the button twice within
three
seconds. A tone sounds and the
direction indicators flash. We
recommend you use this method to locate
your vehicle, rather than using the panic
alarm...
