Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. A tone sounds and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the decklid.

is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power decklid close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
your vehicle, check the instrument cluster
for a trunk ajar or door ajar message or
warning indicator. Failure to do this could
result in unintentionally leaving the decklid
open while driving. When Opening

obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the decklid.

INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE WARNING:
Keep vehicle doors and
luggage compartment locked and keep
keys and remote transmitters out of a
child’ s reach. Unsupervised children could
lock themselves in the trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles. WARNING:
Do not leave children or
animals unattended in the vehicle. On hot
days, the temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to these
high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape for
children and adults if they become locked
inside the luggage compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves with the
operation and location of the release handle.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note:
The system is not compatible with
non-Lincoln aftermarket remote start
systems. Use of these systems may result in
engine starting problems and a loss of
security protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may result in vehicle starting problems,
especially if they are too close to the key
when starting your vehicle. Prevent these
objects from touching the coded key when
starting your vehicle. Switch the ignition off,
move all objects on the key chain away from
the coded key and restart your vehicle if a
problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle. SecuriLock®
The system helps prevent the engine from
starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. Using the
wrong key may prevent your vehicle from
starting. A message may appear in the
information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with a
coded key, it is not operating correctly. A
message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch the
ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch the
ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes with two keys. The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on the intelligent access
with push button start system, as well as a
remote control.
If your programmed transmitters are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you will need to have your vehicle
towed to an authorized dealer. You need to
erase the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys.
Store a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. You can
purchase replacement keys or remote
controls from an authorized dealer.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access
Key

intelligent access keys inside your vehicle
and the new unprogrammed intelligent
access key readily accessible. You can
