Lincoln RESCU system limitations
Inoperative if cellular phone inactive or inoperative
Lincoln RESCU utilizes your vehicle's cellular phone and will not operate
if cellular service has not been activated or if the phone is inoperative.
Inoperative if battery discharged or disconnected
Lincoln RESCU is powered by the vehicle's battery and will not operate if
the battery if discharged or disconnected.
Potentially inoperative if vehicle involved in accident
If the vehicle is involved in an accident, some components can be
damaged, rendering your RESCU System inoperative.
Positioning capability degraded if satellite signals obstructed
Vehicle positioning is accomplished by receiving and interpreting signals
transmitted by satellites. If the signals are obstructed positioning
capability could be degraded or lost. This situation will be most prevalent
in urban areas populated with tall buildings. tunnels, underpasses,
parking garages, trees and similar structures could also adversely affect
positioning performance. Under these conditions, the system will operate
but the response center could have difficulty identifying your current
location. (The last valid position obtained before the obstruction is
retained, however, and will be sent.) The operator may depend on you to
provide verbal information regarding vehicle location.
Positioning capability temporarily degraded after battery reconnect
When your vehicle is started, the Lincoln RESCU GPS receiver begins
the process of determining vehicle location. The receiver will search the
sky and attempt to acquire signals from all visible satellites. A real-time
clock and an almanac containing detailed information about satellite
constellation are stored in the on-board computer's memory and are used
to expedite the search. If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the clock
memory is erased and time and date are lost. Once the battery is
reconnected, it could take approximately 15 minutes to reacquire the
clock and for positioning capability to be restored. During this time, the
system will operate but the response center will not be able to identify
your location. In this situation, the operator will depend on you to
provide verbal information regarding vehicle location.

Anti-theft lug nuts (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with this
feature, one of the lug nuts on each
wheel must be removed and
replaced with a special key. The key
and registration card are attached to
the lug wrench and stored with the spare tire. If you lose the key, send
the registration card to the manufacturer (not the dealer) to get a
replacement key. If the lug wrench/lug nut key assembly is lost, see your
nearest Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer who has access to the master set
of keys.Do not use an impact wrench with the anti-theft key.
Removing the anti-theft lug nut
1. Insert the key over the locking lug nut. Make sure you hold the key
square to the lug nut. If you hold the key at an angle, you could damage
the key and the lug nut.
2. Place the lug nut wrench over the lug nut key and apply pressure on
the key with the wrench.
3. Turn the wrench in a counterclockwise direction to remove the lug
nut.
Reinstalling the anti-theft lug nut

Use Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid E2FZ-19549±AA (in Canada,
Motorcraft CXC-8±B) or an equivalent premium engine coolant that
meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44±A. Ford Premium Engine Coolant
is an optimized formula that will protect all metals and rubber elastomers
used in Ford cooling systems for four years or 80,000 km (50,000 miles).
Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. Do not use supplemental coolant
additives in your vehicle. These additives may harm your engine cooling
system. The use of an improper coolant may void your warranty of your
vehicle's engine cooling system.
Recycled engine coolant
Ford Motor Company recommends that Ford and Lincoln-Mercury
dealers use recycled engine coolant produced by Ford-approved
processes. Not all coolant recycling processes produce coolant which
meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44±A, and use of such coolant may
harm engine and cooling system components.
Always dispose of used automotive fluids in a responsible manner.
Follow your community's regulations and standards for recycling and
disposing of automotive fluids.
Coolant refill capacity
To find out how much fluid your vehicle's cooling system can hold, refer
toRefill capacitiesin theCapacities and specificationschapter.
Have your dealer check the engine cooling system for leaks if you have
to add more than a liter (quart) of engine coolant per month.
Severe winter climate
If you drive in extremely cold climates (less than ±36ÉC [±34ÉF]), it may
be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%. Refer to
the chart on the coolant container to ensure the coolant concentration in
your vehicle is such that the coolant will not freeze at the temperature
level in which you drive during winter months. Never increase the engine
Maintenance and care

If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled
after the battery is replaced.
Because your vehicle's engine is electronically controlled by a computer,
some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When
the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must
relearn its idle conditions before your vehicle will drive properly. To
begin this process:
1. Put the gearshift in P (Park), turn off all accessories and start the
vehicle.
2. Let the engine idle for at least one minute.
3. The relearning process will automatically complete as you drive the
vehicle.
²If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle, the idle quality of
your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle is eventually
relearned.
²If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been
installed, the clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once
the battery is reconnected.
²Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your community's
standards for disposal. Call your
local recycling center to find out
more about recycling automotive batteries.

3. At the back of the headlamp, pull back and up slightly on the two
right angle brackets to release the headlamp assembly from the vehicle.
4. Carefully pull the headlamp assembly away from the vehicle to expose
the back of the bulb and wiring connector.
5. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pulling
the connector rearward.
6. Remove the bulb retaining ring by
rotating it counterclockwise (when
viewed from the rear) about an
eighth of a turn to free it from the
bulb socket, and by sliding the ring
off the plastic base. Keep the ring
because it will be used again to
retain the new bulb.
7. Remove the old bulb from its socket by gently pulling it straight back
out of the socket. Do not turn the bulb while removing it.
To install the new bulb:
1. With the flat side of the bulb's
plastic base facing upward, insert
the glass end of the bulb into the
socket. You may need to turn the
bulb left or right to line up the
grooves in the plastic base with the
tabs in the socket. When the
grooves are aligned, push the bulb into the socket until the plastic base
contacts the rear of the socket.
2. Slip the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base until it contacts the
rear of the socket by rotating it clockwise until you feel a ªstop.º
3. Push the electrical connector into the rear of the plastic base until it
snaps, locking it into position.
4. Before reinstalling the plastic sight shield, make sure the sight shield
tabs are properly seated under the grille molding.
