Lincoln Aviator: Starting and Stopping the Engine / Starting a Gasoline Engine
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.
Note: You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit. A message appears in
the information display alerting you that you
exceeded the cranking time. You cannot
attempt to start the engine for at least 15
minutes. After 15 minutes, you are limited to
a 15-second engine cranking time. You need
to wait 60 minutes before you can crank the
engine for 60 seconds again.
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
- Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.
- Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.
- Make sure the parking brake is on.
- Make sure the transmission is in park (P).
- Switch the ignition on.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note: You must have your intelligent access
key in your vehicle in order to shift the
transmission out of park (P).
- Fully press the brake pedal.
- Press the push button ignition switch.
The system does not function if:
- The passive key frequencies are jammed.
- The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start your vehicle, do the

electronic devices, for example keys or a
cell phone.

inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle...
The fast restart feature allows you to restart
your vehicle within 20 seconds of switching
it off, even if it does not detect a valid
passive key.
Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
off, press the brake pedal and press the push
button ignition switch...
