you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

your vehicle.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle

in line with all applicable laws and

regulations.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

RECOMMENDATION

We have built your vehicle to the highest

standards using quality parts. We

recommend that you demand the use of

genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts whenever

your vehicle requires scheduled

maintenance or repair. You can clearly

identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or

Motorcraft branding on the parts or their

packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and

Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure

that your vehicle provides years of service

is to have it maintained in line with our

recommendations using parts that conform

to the specifications detailed in this Owner’ s

Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

meet or exceed these specifications.

Aviator (CTV), enUSA, Edition date: 202007, First-Printing

Introduction

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a

collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine

Ford replacement collision parts meet our

stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural

integrity, corrosion protection and dent

resistance. During vehicle development we

validate that these parts deliver the intended

level of protection as a whole system. A

great way to know for sure you are getting

this level of protection is to use genuine Ford

replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement

parts are the only replacement parts that

benefit from a Lincoln Warranty. Damage

caused to your vehicle as a result of the

failure of non-Ford parts may not be covered

by the Lincoln Warranty. For additional

information, refer to the terms and conditions

of the Lincoln Warranty.

monitoring, transmission of vehicle data to

other devices or entities, or altering the

performance of the vehicle, may cause

interference with or even damage to vehicle

systems. We do not recommend or endorse

the use of unapproved aftermarket plug-in

damage caused by an aftermarket plug-in

device.

Notice to Owners of Pickup Trucks and

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

WARNING: Driving while distracted

can result in loss of vehicle control, crash

and injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

Using mobile communications equipment is

becoming increasingly important in the

conduct of business and personal affairs.

However, you must not compromise your

own or others’ safety when using such

enhance personal safety and security when

appropriately used, particularly in emergency

situations. Safety must be paramount when

using mobile communications equipment to

avoid negating these benefits. Mobile

communication equipment includes, but is

not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,

portable email devices, text messaging

devices and portable two-way radios.

EXPORT UNIQUE OPTIONS

Introduction

WARNING: Do not connect wireless

plug-in devices to the data link connector.

Unauthorized third parties could gain

access to vehicle data and impair the

performance of safety related systems.

Only allow repair facilities that follow our

service and repair instructions to connect

their equipment to the data link connector.

We respect your privacy and are committed

to protecting it. The information contained

in this publication was correct at the time of

going to print but as technology rapidly

changes, we recommend that you visit the

local Ford website for the latest information.

Your vehicle has electronic control units that

have data recording functionality and the

ability to permanently or temporarily store

data. This data could include information on

the condition and status of your vehicle,

vehicle maintenance requirements, events

and malfunctions. The types of data that can

be recorded are described in this section.

Some of the data recorded is stored in event

logs or error logs.

Note: Error logs are reset following a service

or repair.

Note: We may provide information in

response to requests from law enforcement,

other government authorities and third

parties acting with lawful authority or through

a legal process. Such information could be

used by them in legal proceedings.

Data recorded includes, for example:

• Operating states of system components,

for example fuel level, tire pressure and

battery charge level.

• Vehicle and component status, for

example wheel speed, deceleration,

lateral acceleration and seatbelt status.

• Events or errors in essential systems, for

example headlamps and brakes.

• System responses to driving situations,

for example airbag deployment and

stability control.

• Environmental conditions, for example

temperature.

Some of this data, when used in combination

with other information, for example an

accident report, damage to a vehicle or

eyewitness statements, could be associated

with a specific person.

Services That Third Parties Provide

We recommend that you review the terms

and conditions and data privacy information

for any services equipped with your vehicle

or to which you subscribe. We take no

responsibility for services that third parties

SERVICE DATA

Service data recorders in your vehicle are

capable of collecting and storing diagnostic

information about your vehicle. This

potentially includes information about the

performance or status of various systems

and modules in the vehicle, such as engine,

throttle, steering or brake systems. In order

to properly diagnose and service your

vehicle, Ford Motor Company (Ford of

Canada in Canada), and service and repair

facilities may access or share among them

vehicle diagnostic information received

through a direct connection to your vehicle

when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.

Additionally, Ford Motor Company (Ford of

Canada, in Canada) may, where permitted

by law, use vehicle diagnostic information

for vehicle improvement or with other

information we may have about you, for

example, your contact information, to offer

you products or services that may interest

you. Data may be provided to our service

providers such as part suppliers that may

help diagnose malfunctions, and who are

similarly obligated to protect data. We retain

this data only as long as necessary to

perform these functions or to comply with

law. We may provide information where

required in response to official requests to

law enforcement or other government

authorities or third parties acting with lawful

authority or court order, and such information

may be used in legal proceedings. For U.S.

only (if equipped), if you choose to use

connected apps and services, you consent

that certain diagnostic information may also

be accessed electronically by Ford Motor

Company and Ford authorized service

facilities, and that the diagnostic information

may be used to provide services to you,

personalizing your experience, troubleshoot,

and to improve products and services and

offer you products and services that may

interest you, where permitted by law. For

Canada only, for more information, please

review the Ford of Canada privacy policy at

www.ford.ca, including our U.S. data storage

and use of service providers in other

jurisdictions who may be subject to legal

requirements in Canada, the United States

and other countries applicable to them, for

example, lawful requirements to disclose

personal information to governmental

authorities in those countries.

EVENT DATA

This vehicle is equipped with an event data

recorder. The main purpose of an event data

recorder is to record, in certain crash or near

crash-like situations, such as an airbag

deployment or hitting a road obstacle; this

data will assist in understanding how a

vehicle’s systems performed. The event data

recorder is designed to record data related

to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for

a short period of time, typically 30 seconds

or less.
