2022 Lincoln Aviator Doors and Locks

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator, with its array of cutting-edge features that redefine luxury and convenience, is a contemporary marvel of automotive engineering. Among its many highlights are the doors and locks, which combine modern security with flawless functionality. The precision-crafted doors and locks of the Aviator prioritize safety while also improving the driving experience. They are designed for maximum convenience. Every element of the Aviator’s door system, from the sophisticated locking systems to the user-friendly door controls, is designed to offer sophistication and confidence.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING

Your vehicle has an intelligent electronically controlled door system that is in constant communication with overall vehicle systems.
When you lock your vehicle using either the lock switch on each door interior trim panel, the keyless entry keypad or the lock sensor on each exterior door trim panel, the exterior door handle switches do not release the doors. This helps secure your vehicle and prevent unauthorized entry. Also, when your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), the exterior door handle switches do not release the doors.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff switch activates, all interior and exterior unlock switches do not unlock your door for six seconds. This helps secure the doors in the event of a crash. After six seconds, all switches reset and you can open the doors using the interior and exterior unlatch switches.

Door Lock Indicator

An LED on each door lock switch illuminates when you lock the doors. It remains on for 2 to 5 seconds after you switch the ignition off.

Door Lock Switch Inhibitor
When you electronically lock your vehicle, the door lock switches and the interior luggage compartment release switch do not operate after 20 seconds. To restore function to these switches, you must unlock your vehicle with the remote control or keyless entry keypad, or switch the ignition on.

Activating Intelligent Access
The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft (1 m) of the door or luggage compartment you intend to lock or unlock.

At a Door

Electronic door handles are on each door. Gently press the switch inside the exterior door handle to unlock and open the door. An unlock symbol illuminates on the door window trim indicating your vehicle is unlocked.

Locking sensors are on both front doors. When the intelligent access key is within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle by touching the locking sensor below the keyless entry keypad. Doing so causes a lock symbol to illuminate on the door window trim indicating your vehicle is locked and you can no longer release the door using the exterior door handle switches. Touching the locking sensor when the intelligent access key is not within 3 ft (1 m) causes the lock status to display, but does not lock the doors.
Swipe across the locking sensor to display the current lock status of your vehicle. The lock status also displays when you open a door or when the lock status changes.

Note: You cannot use the locking sensors to unlock your vehicle.

The direction indicators flash twice to confirm the change. Driver door mode only unlocks the driver door when you press the unlock button once. All door mode unlocks all doors when you press the unlock button once. The unlocking mode applies to the remote control, keyless entry keypad and intelligent access.

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys

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 immediately unlock and the horn sounds 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.
