2021 LINCOLN AVIATOR Owners Manual

Programming and Changing
Configurable Settings
Use the touchscreen to access your
configurable MyKey settings.
1.
Switch the ignition on using an admin key
or the remote control you want to
program.
2. Access the main menu in the information
display and then scroll through the
menus to change the settings of your
MyKey. See Settings (page 540).
3. Follow the instructions in the touchscreen.
The programmed restrictions apply when
you switch the vehicle off, open and close
the driver door and restart your vehicle with
the programmed key or remote control. Note:
You can clear or change your MyKey
settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the vehicle off, however, you
need an admin key to change or clear your
MyKey settings. When you make any
changes to your MyKey settings, you change
the settings for every MyKey. You cannot
make individual changes to apply to specific
MyKeys.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
When you clear your MyKeys, you remove
all restrictions and return all MyKeys to their
original admin key status at once. To clear
all MyKeys of all MyKey settings, use the
touchscreen.
1. Switch the ignition on using an admin key.
2. Access the main menu in the touchscreen and then scroll through the
menus to begin clearing your MyKey
programming. See Settings (page 540).
3. Follow the instructions in the display. 4. A confirmation message appears in the
display after you finish clearing your
MyKeys.
Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you
remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status. You cannot
remove the MyKey restrictions individually.
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS
You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
touchscreen.
See Settings (page 540).
MyKey Distance
Tracks the distance when drivers use a
MyKey. The only way to delete the
accumulated distance is by using an admin
key to clear all MyKeys. If the distance does
not accumulate as expected, then the
intended user is not using the MyKey, or an
admin key user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey.

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 the lock
switch on each door interior trim panel, or
by using the keyless entry keypad or the lock
sensor on each door exterior trim panel, the
exterior door handle switches do not release
the doors. This helps to 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 to 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. You must unlock
your vehicle with the remote control or
keyless entry keypad, or switch the ignition
on, to restore function to these switches.
You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display.

Information (page 134).

the exterior door handle switches. Touching
the locking sensor when the intelligent
access key is not within 3 ft (1 m) causes the
