Lincoln-Mercury dealer. In most cases, your dealer will be able
to resolve your concern.

or general manager of the dealership. In most cases, you will
have your concern resolved at this level.

(CRTC) regulates the use of mobile communications
systems Ð such as two-way radios, telephones, and

addition, such systems may themselves be damaged or
their operation affected by operating your vehicle.
