Basic operation of Memory Profile System
In order for the system to be able to store or recall an individual's seat or
mirror position preferences, the Memory Profile must first recognize who
will be driving the vehicle. Drivers may identify themselves to the system
one of two ways:
²Pressing the unlock control on the appropriate remote transmitter key
(DRIVER MEMORY 1 or DRIVER MEMORY 2 is identified by the
number on the back of the remote transmitter) before opening the
driver's door.
²Entering either the DRIVER MEMORY 1 or DRIVER MEMORY 2
personalized code into the keyless entry keypad before opening the
driver's door. For information on programming personalized codes see
Keyless entry systemin theControl and featuressection.
Pressing OFF will turn the system off.

Once the system has identified the driver (DRIVER MEMORY 1 or
DRIVER MEMORY 2), the seat and mirror will automatically begin to
move to that driver profile. Changes made to the seat or mirror positions
will automatically be saved to that profile.
If the driver should enter the vehicle without first identifying themselves,
all features will remain at their last setting or position and any settings
will be saved as vehicle settings not individualized settings.
If Driver 1 or Driver 2 wishes to
make temporary changes to their
seat or outside mirror positions
without affecting their preferred
positions they may do so by:
²Using the switch on the back of
the remote transmitter to turn
the Memory Profile System OFF
prior to pressing the unlock
control on the remote transmitter.
²Entering the vehicle without
identifying themselves using the
two methods listed above.
This option may be useful to temporarily reposition the driver's seat and
mirrors during an extended drive.

General description
Lincoln's Remote Emergency Satellite Cellular Unit (RESCU) is designed
to expedite roadside, emergency or information assistance to distressed
motorists who are uncertain of their location and/or are uncertain of who
to contact for assistance.
The Lincoln RESCU system utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS)
technology and the nation's cellular phone network to track vehicle
location and, at the touch of a control, put you in voice contact with the
Lincoln Security Response Center.
Two controls in the overhead console will activate the system:
An Information icon is provided for
customer information, such as
points of interest near your current
location, route assistance and other
services as they become available.
An Emergency icon is provided for
emergency assistance.
When you select a control, the vehicle's cellular phone will automatically
place a call to the response center's central computer. Once contact is
made, an electronic data message will be transmitted. This data message
will include:
²Type of alarm (Information, emergency or air bag acitvation)
²Customer Identification Number (CID)
²Latitude and longitude coordinates
²Last recorded speed and direction of the vehicle
²Time tag identifying when last position was taken
²Call-back phone number
After the transmission is complete, the call is forwarded to an operator
who will verify the details of the request and confirm the vehicle's
location using a computerized map.
