ECU LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 1997 User Guide

87
Registration RequirementYou are required to register with the Lincoln
Security Response Center shortly after receiving
your vehicle. The registration process is simple and
can be accomplished by calling the Lincoln Security
Response Center at 1-800-334-1327. Alternatively,
the registration process can be completed on-line
during an acquaintance period activation. (See
ªAcquaintance Activationsº later in the section for
details.) The information requested will aid in
servicing you more efficiently during an assistance
request.Optional Password Selection/False
ActivationsAt the time of your registration, you will be given
the option of establishing a user password. All
aspects of your service will be identical regardless of
your password decision except the way false
emergency activations are handled.If established, the password will be requested by the
operator to confirm an emergency activation was
initiated in error. If no password or an incorrect
password is given, the response center's operator
will seemingly terminate the call but actually stays
on the line and sends police to the last calculated
vehicle location (this could be useful in duress
situations). It is very important that you remember
your password to prevent false dispatches. Similarly,
it is also important to provide the password to any
other individuals who will be driving the vehicle or
who may have need to activate the system.
If you decide not to establish a password, simply
indicate to the operator that the emergency
assistance request was initiated in error and the call
will be terminated.
In either case, if an activation (roadside or
emergency) occurs and the operator cannot establish
voice communication, police assistance will be
dispatched to the vehicle.

88NOTE:Information regarding changing or retrieving
lost passwords can be obtained by contacting the
Lincoln Security Response Center at
1-800-334-1327.Acquaintance ActivationsIt is required that you initiate an acquaintance
activation shortly after receiving your vehicle and
having your phone activated. An acquaintance
activation is initiated by pressing either the roadside
or emergency assistance button. When voice
communication is established with the Lincoln
Security Response Center, indicate that you are a
new user and the operator will follow special
acquaintance period support procedures which are
intended to familiarize you with your Lincoln
RESCU system. As described previously, the
acquaintance call can also be used to complete the
registration for new customers
Service ChargesFor four years, beginning with your vehicle's
warranty period, you will be entitled to unlimited
activations without facing service charges. (These
activations should be made only when emergency
or roadside assistance is required.) You will be
responsible, however, for any charges imposed by
your cellular phone carrier for the 1-800 phone call
to the Lincoln Security Response Center. After your
initial service period expires, you may be required
to pay a monitoring service fee. Your dealer can
provide you with specific information regarding post
initial service period service fees.Relinquishing Your VehicleAt the time you relinquish your vehicle, it is
important that you contact the Lincoln Security
Response Center at 1-800-334-1327 and cancel your
security service. Personal information provided to
the response center at the time of your registration
will be removed from the vehicle's file.
