Key information
Your vehicle is supplied with
two coded keys.
Only a
coded key
will
start your vehicle. Spare coded keys can be purchased from your
authorized dealer. Your authorized dealer can program your key or you
can “do it yourself.” Refer to the
Programming spare keys
section in
this chapter.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
•
Large metallic objects
•
Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items
•
A second key on the same key ring as the
coded key
If any of these items are present, you need to keep these objects from
touching the
coded key
while starting the engine. These objects and
devices cannot damage the
coded key,
but can cause a momentary “no
start” condition if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a
problem occurs, turn ignition to the OFF position and restart the engine
with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key.
Check to make sure the
coded key
is an approved Lincoln
coded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen you will need to do the following:
•
Use your spare key to start the vehicle, or
•
Have your vehicle towed to a authorized dealer or a locksmith. The
key codes will need to be erased from your vehicle and new key codes
will need to be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.
The correct
coded key
must be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type of
coded key
may lead to a “no start” condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a “no
start” condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock
娂
keys can be used. To program a
coded key
yourself, you
will need two previously programmed
coded keys
(keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily
accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare coded
key(s) programmed.
