Lincoln Aviator: Seats / Ventilated Seats
Do not do the following:
- Spill liquid on the front seats. This may
cause the air vent holes to become
blocked and not work properly.
- Place cargo or objects under the seats.
They may block the air intake causing
the air vents to not work properly.
The engine must be running to use this
feature.

Press this symbol to cycle through the
various ventilation settings and off. More
indicator lights indicate higher fan speeds.
Note: The ventilated seats switch on during
a remote start if they are enabled.
Note: The ventilated seats may switch on
when you start your vehicle if they were on
when you previously switched your vehicle
off.
If the engine falls below 350 RPM when the
ventilated seats are on, the system turns off.
You need to switch it back on.
Note: To improve comfort, use the ventilated
seats along with the vehicle’s air
conditioning system.
Automatic Climate Controlled Seats (If Equipped)
When you switch on the auto setting, the
seats switch between the heated seats and
ventilated seats to match your climate control
setting.
WARNING: Use caution when using
the heated seat if you are unable to feel
pain to your skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions...
What is the Rear Occupant Alert System
The rear occupant alert system monitors
vehicle conditions and notifies you to check
for rear seat occupants when you switch the
ignition off...
