USING YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM
Your audio system is equipped with selective lighting, a unique lighting
strategy. This lighting feature is operable when the headlamps are
illuminated. During the operation of any selected mode, lighting for the
individual function controls will either illuminate or turn off. Those
controls which have a function for the specific mode of operation
selected will be lit, while the controls which have no function for that
mode will be turned off.

Lincoln RESCU system limitations
²
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.
²
Inoperative if battery discharged or disconnected
Lincoln RESCU is powered by the vehicle's battery and will not operate if
the battery is discharged or disconnected.
²
Inoperative if cellular phone is not installed in the vehicle
interface
Lincoln RESCU utilizes your vehicle's cellular phone and will not operate
if cellular phone is not installed in the vehicle interface.
²
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.
²
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.
²
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

On vehicles equipped with
Air Suspension, turn OFF
the Air Suspension switch prior to
jacking, hoisting or towing your
vehicle.
Refer toAir suspension systemin
theDrivingchapter for more
information.
6. Put the jack in the jack notch
next to the door closest to the tire
you are changing. Turn the jack
handle clockwise until the wheel is
completely off the ground.
To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start the
engine when your vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only meant for
changing the tire.
7. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench. Replace the flat tire with
the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug
nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug
nuts until the wheel has been lowered.

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
1. Insert the key over the locking lug nut.
2. Place the lug nut wrench over the lug nut key and apply pressure on
the key with the wrench.
3. Install the lug nut.

Roadside emergencies
145

If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,
the engine coolant reservoir may become empty. If this occurs, a LOW
ENGINE COOLANT warning will illuminate in the message center and
you will need to add engine coolant to the coolant reservoir. For more
information on engine coolant maintenance, refer toAdding engine
coolantin this chapter.
Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine coolant,
antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified function and
vehicle location.
Adding engine coolant
Do not put engine coolant in the container for the windshield
washer fluid.
Do not mix conventional green coolant, orange coolant or
recycled coolants together in your vehicle. Use only the type of
coolant that your vehicle was originally equipped with. If you are
unsure which type of coolant your vehicle requires, contact your
local dealer.
If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could make it difficult to see
through the windshield.
When the engine is cool, add a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and
water to the engine coolant reservoir-DO NOT ADD DIRECTLY TO THE
RADIATOR. Add straight water only in an emergency, but you should
replace it with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water as soon as
possible.
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you
drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough of a 50/50 mixture of coolant
and water to bring the liquid level to the fill line on the reservoir.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot.
If you must remove the coolant reservoir cap, follow these steps to avoid
personal injury:
1. Before you remove the cap, turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly
turn cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.
