Service charges
For four years, beginning with your vehicle's warranty period, you will be
entitled to unlimited emergency and roadside assistance 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 will be required to pay a
monitoring fee if you elect to continue emergency and roadside
assistance. Your dealer can provide you with specific information
regarding post-initial service period fees.
Relinquishing your vehicle
At 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.

5. Release pressure from the switch.
6. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) until
the CAL indicator turns off. This will take up to five circles to complete
calibration.
7. The compass is now calibrated.
The compass display will remain on for approximately 40-45 minutes
after the ignition key is removed. The battery saver will then shut off the
display.
AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with inside and driver side outside rear view
mirrors with an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirrors
will change from the normal state to the non-glare state when bright
lights (glare) reach the mirrors. When the inside rear view mirror detects
bright light from in front of or behind the vehicle, the inside and driver
side outside rear view mirrors will automatically adjust (darken) to
minimize glare.
Press the control to turn the mirror
on or off. The mirror will
automatically return to the normal
state whenever the vehicle is placed
in R (reverse)(when the mirror is
on) to ensure a bright clear view
when backing up.
Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel
or other petroleum-based cleaning
products.
On vehicles equipped with a moonroof, the automatic rear view mirror
has two map lamps. Refer toInterior lampsfor more information.

At zero pressure, the SecuriTires will provide you with a minimum
driving capability of approximately 30 km (20 miles). How you drive and
the actual amount of air pressure left in your tires will determine exactly
how many miles can be driven.
To extend the mileage and help prevent damage to low or deflated tires:
²do not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph). Drive at a reduced rate of speed, if
possible.
²avoid excessive hard steering and braking maneuvers, if possible.
²stop periodically to allow the tires to cool down.
Pressure alert system
Each of your SecuriTires is
monitored by a low tire pressure
sensor. A warning will appear in the
overhead console when the pressure
in one of your tires drops below
acceptable levels or if the system
has malfunctioned.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules and with RS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Maintenance warning
The LOW TIRE PRESSURE warning will illuminate and stay on when one
of your vehicle's tires drops below 124 kPa (18 psi). The warning light
will also come on and stay lit if the Pressure Alert System has
malfunctioned.
If this warning appears, check the pressure in your tires as soon as
possible and adjust any tire that is low to the recommended air pressure
level.
If the warning remains on after you have adjusted the tires to the
recommended air pressure levels, take your vehicle to an authorized
Lincoln/Mercury dealer for service.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD)
on each headlamp. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the vertical
(up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using your VHAD
system. The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the
assembly plant.
A bubble (vertical indicator) that is not centered between the two red
lines does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If your vehicle
is not positioned on a level surface, the slope will be included in the
vertical indication. Therefore, vertical and horizontal headlamp
adjustment should be performed only when the beam direction appears
to be incorrect.
You will need one 4 mm wrench or socket to make the adjustments.
If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle's front structure
should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.
Horizontal aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. With the hood open, remove the
protective cover, locate the
horizontal indicator and the
adjusting screw. They are located at
the rear of the headlamp assembly.
