Lincoln Aviator: Starting and Stopping the Engine / Keyless Starting
Note: The system may not function if the
remote control is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a
cell phone.
Note: A valid remote control must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle.
Note: If the remote remains motionless for
40 or more seconds you need to move the
remote for the passive entry feature to
function. If the remote remains motionless
for 8 or more hours you need to move the
remote for the push button start feature to
function.
Ignition Modes

The keyless starting system has three
modes:
Off: Turns the ignition off.
- Without applying the brake pedal, press
and release the button once when the
ignition is in the on mode, or when your
vehicle is running but is not moving.
On: All electrical circuits are operational and
the warning lamps and indicators illuminate.
- Without applying the brake pedal, press
and release the button once.
Start: Starts your vehicle. The engine may
not start when your vehicle starts.
- Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button for any length of time. An
indicator light on the button illuminates
when the ignition is on and when your
vehicle starts.
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage...
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible...
