Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 2
(OFF) position.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (RUN) position with a
coded key
disarms
the vehicle. The indicator light on the instrument panel will illuminate
for three seconds and then go out. If the light stays on for an extended
period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your
dealership or a qualified technician.
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
dealership. Your dealership can program your key or you can “do it
yourself.” Refer to
Programming spare keys.
Certain items may cause vehicle starting issues:
•
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 OFF 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 dealership or a locksmith. The key codes
will need to be erased from your vehicle and new key codes will need
to be re-coded.
