Lincoln Aviator (2023 year). Manual in english - page 5

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. You can program the
restrictions to all keys except one. Any keys
that you did not program are administrator
keys or admin keys.

You can use admin keys to:

•

Create a MyKey with certain vehicle
restrictions.

•

Program certain MyKey settings.

•

Clear all MyKey restrictions.

After you program a MyKey, you can view
the following information through the
information display:

•

The total number of admin keys and
MyKeys for your vehicle.

•

The total distance a MyKey driver
traveled with your vehicle.

Note:

Every MyKey receives the same

restrictions and settings. You cannot
program them individually.

Note:

For vehicles equipped with a

push-button start switch: When both a MyKey
and an admin key are present when you
start your vehicle, the system recognizes the
admin key only.

Standard Settings

Not every vehicle includes the features listed
below. If your vehicle has this equipment,
then you cannot change the following
settings when using a MyKey:

•

Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™. MyKey
mutes the audio system until drivers, and
in some instances, passengers, fasten
their seatbelts. 

Note:

 If your vehicle

includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic
audio system, then the radio may not
mute.

•

Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier for MyKey
drivers, giving them more time to refuel.

•

Certain driver alerts, stability systems or
parking aids turn on automatically when
you use the MyKey system. For example,
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS),
cross traffic alert, lane departure warning
or forward collision warning. 

Note:

 MyKey

drivers may be able to turn the lane
departure warning feature off, but this
feature turns back on automatically with
every new key cycle.

•

Restricted touchscreen operation in some
markets. For example, MyKey may
prevent manual navigation destination
input while the vehicle is in any gear
other than park (P) or when the vehicle
reaches a certain rate of speed.

•

Satellite radio adult content restrictions,
if this feature is available in your market.

Optional Settings

You can configure certain vehicle feature
settings when you first create a MyKey. You
can also change the settings afterward with
an admin key.

78

MyKey™

Note:

Not every feature applies to every

vehicle in every market. When they are
available for your vehicle, then they appear
in the information display, providing choices
to switch them on or off, or to select a more
specific setting.

•

Various vehicle speed limits so the
MyKey driver cannot exceed certain
speeds. The information display shows
warnings followed by an audible tone
when the MyKey driver reaches the set
speed. You cannot override the set
speed by fully depressing the accelerator
pedal.

WARNING: 

Do not set MyKey

maximum speed limit to a limit that will
prevent the driver from maintaining a safe
speed considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury.

•

Various vehicle speed reminders so
MyKey drivers know when their vehicle
speed approaches the limits. Warnings
appear in the information display and a
tone sounds when the MyKey drivers
exceed the set vehicle speed.

•

The audio system's maximum volume
limits to 45% so MyKey drivers can
concentrate on the road. A message
appears in the information display when
MyKey drivers attempt to exceed the
limited volume. MyKey also disables the
automatic volume control. 

Note:

 If your

vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a
very basic audio system, then the radio
may not limit.

•

Always on setting. This setting forces
certain features to remain on and active
for MyKey drivers. For example, E911 or
emergency assistance and the do not
disturb features stay on even if a MyKey
driver uses the feature's control to switch
it off. When selected, you will not be able
to turn off Advance Trac or traction
control (if your vehicle has this feature).

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, 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

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS

You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
touchscreen.  See 

Settings

 (page 555).

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.

80

MyKey™

Number of MyKeys

Indicates the number of MyKeys you have
programmed to your vehicle. Use this feature
to detect how many MyKeys you have for
your vehicle and determine when you have
deleted all MyKeys.

Number of Admin Keys

Indicates how many admin keys you have
programmed to your vehicle. Use this feature
to determine how many admin keys you have
for your vehicle, and detect if an additional
MyKey has been programmed.

USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE

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.

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
