Lincoln Aviator: Locking and Unlocking / Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys

This feature helps to prevent you from locking your intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or rear cargo area.

When you electronically lock your vehicle with any door open, the transmission is in park (P) and the ignition is off, the system searches for an intelligent access key inside your vehicle after you close the last door. If the system finds a key, all the doors will immediately unlock and the horn will sound twice, indicating that a key is inside.

You can override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the intelligent access key inside your vehicle.

To do this, lock your vehicle after you have closed all the doors by:

  • Using the keyless entry keypad.
  • Pressing the lock button on another intelligent access key.
  • Touching the locking sensor on the door window trim with another intelligent access key in your hand.

When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the power door lock control, all doors will lock then unlock if:

  • The ignition is on.
  • The ignition is off and the transmission is not in park (P).

    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.
