2000 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL relay

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.
Information Control
The Information control provides
the customer access to the
information such as points of
interest near their current location,
route assistance and other services
as they become available.
There may be charges incurred for certain services.
The Emergency (S.O.S.) control
should be selected if emergency
assistance is required. This feature
should be used:
²if you have been involved in an
accident.
²to report a crime or fire.
²when medical attention is required.
²to receive assistance in an emergency situation.
There may be charges incurred for certain services.
Upon receiving an Emergency Activation (by pressing the emergency
control or via an air bag activation) the Lincoln Security Response
Center relays details of the situation and the location of the vehicle to
the appropriate authorities and establishes a three-way phone call. While
the appropriate authorities dispatch help to your location, the response
center will:
²dispatch the emergency help to your location.
²when appropriate, stay in direct phone contact with you until
emergency help arrives.

bypasses the response center's computer and is forwarded directly to an
operator.
Similarly, if the cellular call is disconnected by the network prior to
receipt of the termination tone, another call to the response center will
also automatically be dialed. The message ªREDIAL IN PROGRESSº will
be displayed on the message center and voice communication with an
operator will be restored.
During redial calls, full control of the cellular phone is returned to you.
Pressing either PWR or END on the cellular handset will terminate the
assistance request and reset the system.
Location data retransmit capability
During an activation, the Lincoln Security Response Center operator has
the capability to initiate a retransmission of the electronic data message.
This may be necessary to ensure a more precise determination of vehicle
location or to track a vehicle that is moving. To accomplish the
retransmit, a special tone is sent to the vehicle by the response center.
In this situation you will temporarily lose voice contact with the operator
and the messages ªSENDING LOCATION DATAº and ªDATA RECEIVEDº
will be respectively displayed on the message center. After the data
retransmission is complete, voice communication will be restored and the
CID, LAT, LON and HDG message will again alternately toggle on the
message center display.
Global positioning system
Vehicle location is continuously updated via Global Positioning System
(GPS) technology. GPS was developed by the U.S. Department of
Defense for worldwide navigational and positioning purposes. It utilizes a
constellation of 24 orbiting satellites located more than 20 000 km (12
428 miles) above the earth. At any given time, several of the 24 satellites
should be visible to the vehicle's GPS receiver. Based on the time for
signals emitted by these satellites to reach the receiver, an on-board
computer will determine the vehicle's location, typically within 30 meters
(100 feet). In addition to latitude and longitude, the system also
determines heading and speed.
Vehicle positioning information is relayed to the Lincoln Security
Response Center only during roadside or emergency requests. The
response center will not be able to track your location while in an
inactive state.

The air suspension shut-off switch is
located on the left side of the trunk.
If this switch is in the OFF position,
the rear air suspension will not
operate.
On vehicles equipped with
Air Suspension, turn OFF
the Air Suspension switch prior to
jacking, hoisting or towing your
vehicle.
Normal vehicle operation does not
require any action by the driver.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OPERATION
Brake-shift interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) unless the brake
pedal is pressed.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with the brake
pedal depressed:
1. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to LOCK, then remove the
key.
2. Insert the key and turn it to OFF. Apply the brake pedal and shift to N
(Neutral).
3. Start the vehicle.
If it is necessary to use the above procedure to move the gearshift, it is
possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle's brakelamps are not
operating properly. Refer toFuses and relaysin theRoadside
emergencieschapter.
Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brakelamps
are working.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it may be rocked out by
shifting from forward and reverse gears in a steady pattern. Press lightly

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the fuel pump shut-off switch by
pushing in on the reset button.
4. Turn the ignition to the ON position. Pause for a few seconds and
return the key to the OFF position.
5. Make a further check for leaks in the fuel system.
FUSES AND RELAYS
Fuses
If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause
severe wire damage and could start a fire.
