ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I tell if my vehicle has Phone as a
Key?
The touchscreen shows the Phone as a
Key reset option if your vehicle has
Phone as a Key. If you have registered
your vehicle through the Lincoln Way
app, a control button appears on the
home screen of the Lincoln Way app.What happens if I cannot unlock the vehicle

Attempt to move your phone closer to
the vehicle. Check that the Lincoln Way
app is still running and that the Phone
as a Key control screen shows
connected. If the phone is connected,
attempt to press the remote unlock
button in the Lincoln Way app. If the
phone is not connected or the remote
unlock button does not work in the
Lincoln Way app, attempt to force close
and restart the app.
Why do I get a No Key Detected message
in the instrument cluster display when I am
using Phone as a Key and my phone is in
the car?
Your phone’s Bluetooth connection has
been disrupted or is not connected. Try
reconnecting your phone's Bluetooth

Information Displays

When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the brake
pedal, you will see a green or white solid bar
indicating the power being used to slow
down the vehicle. You may also see a green
rectangular box which shows the amount of
power that can be recaptured by the
regenerative braking system and returned
to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is completely
within the box, the color of the bar will
be all green. This means that the
regenerative braking system is being
used to efficiently slow the vehicle down
and return the maximum percentage of
energy to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is outside of the
green box, then the bar will be white. This
means that both the regenerative braking
system and conventional braking system
are in use.Electric Efficiency
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kWh of electricity used on your
hybrid vehicle. The value is calculated only
when your available electric range is being
used and the gasoline engine is off.
Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you would
have if you plugged in and fully charged your
vehicle right now. The higher your electric
efficiency, the higher your distance per full
charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors. Best
efficiency is achieved in mild ambient
temperatures with mild to moderate
acceleration and braking, moderate speeds
and low climate control usage.INFORMATION MESSAGES
