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.
