Lincoln Aviator: Roadside Emergencies / Fuel Shutoff
WARNING: If your vehicle has been
involved in a crash, have the fuel system
checked. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in fire, personal injury or death.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that various systems are safe to restart.
Once the vehicle determines the systems
are safe, then the vehicle allows you to
restart.
Note: In the event that your vehicle does not
restart after your third attempt, contact a
qualified technician.
The fuel pump shutoff stops the flow of fuel
to the engine in the event of a moderate to
severe crash. Not every impact causes a
shutoff.
Should your vehicle shut off after a crash,
you may restart your vehicle.
If your vehicle has a key system:
- Switch off the ignition.
- Switch to start position.
- Switch off the ignition.
- Switch on the ignition to re-enable the
fuel pump.
- If the vehicle does not start, repeat steps
1 through 4.
If your vehicle has a push button start
system:
- Press START/STOP to switch off your
vehicle.
- Press the brake pedal and START/STOP
to switch on your vehicle.
- Remove your foot from the brake pedal
and press START/STOP to switch off
your vehicle.
- You can attempt to start the vehicle by
pressing the brake pedal and
START/STOP, or press START/STOP
without pressing the brake pedal.
- If the vehicle does not start, repeat steps
1 through 4.
Note: The hazard flashers operate when the
ignition is in any position, or if the key is not
in the ignition. If used when the vehicle is not

produce explosive gases which can cause
personal injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
