LINCOLN RESCU SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Lincoln RESCU runs a self-test
when you start your vehicle. If If the
phone is disconnected, or a problem
is detected during the self-check,
the message ªRESCU FAILUREº will
be displayed on the vehicle's
message center for several seconds.
If the phone is properly connected
and the warning message display
stays on when you start your vehicle have your Lincoln RESCU System
checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Your system may be
inoperative.
It is important that you understand the limitations of your
Lincoln RESCU System prior to initiating an activation. See
Lincoln RESCU System Limitationslater in this chapter for details.
The RESCU system can be activated in three ways:
1. By pressing the Information
control.
2. By pressing the Emergency
(S.O.S.) control.
3. The system will automatically activate if the vehicle's air bags have
been deployed.
Quick summary
²To utilize your vehicle's RESCU system, your cellular phone must be
activated and plugged into the vehicle interface.

²Information or emergency assistance can be requested whenever your
key is in the RUN/START position and for six minutes after the vehicle
is turned off.
²An assistance request is initiated by pressing either the Information or
Emergency control located in the overhead console.
²When a control is pressed, status messages will display on the
vehicle's message center (messages can only be displayed when the
key is in the RUN/START position).
²The vehicle's cellular phone automatically places a call to a 24 hour
emergency response center.
²When contact is made, the vehicle sends an electronic data message
to the response center's computer. This data message includes latitude
and longitude coordinates obtained from the vehicle's positioning
system and customer identification information.
²Once the data transmission is complete, the call is forwarded to a
response center operator who confirms your location using a
computerized map.
²The vehicle's cellular handset is locked-out, the phone is automatically
placed in the ªhands-freeº mode and voice communication is
established with the operator through the ªhands-freeº microphone.
²Typically, voice communication with an operator is established within
one minute after an assistance control is pressed.
²The operator verbally obtains details of your situation and, if
necessary, ties your vehicle into a three-way phone call with the
United States Auto Club or local 911 or other emergency services to
dispatch the appropriate assistance to your location.
²In most situations, only the response center can terminate an
assistance request. Once the operator terminates the call the system
will be reset.
General description
Lincoln's Remote Emergency Satellite Cellular Unit (RESCU) is designed
to expedite roadside, emergency or information assistance to motorists
who are uncertain of their location and/or are uncertain of whom 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, Information (i) and Emergency
(S.O.S.) will activate the system:
When a control is selected, the RESCU System will direct the vehicle's
cellular phone to automatically place a call to the response center's
central computer. Once a connection is made, an electronic data message
will be transmitted. This data message will include:
²Type of alarm (Information, Emergency or Air Bag activation)
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.
²notify pre-designated family contacts or friends of the emergency
situation, if requested, or if no response is received from the vehicle.
If you are certain of your location, a direct phone call to 911 or
other emergency services may provide a faster response.
If roadside assistance is required, the Lincoln Security Response Center
will contact the Lincoln Commitment Roadside Assistance provider via
three±way phone call.
Activation and deactivation
When either of the two Lincoln RESCU controls are pressed, or the air
bags are deployed (this will activate the system as an emergency
automatically) status messages will be displayed on the vehicle's message
center, confirming an assistance request has been made.
The system can be activated whenever your ignition key is in the
RUN/START position and for six minutes after your vehicle is turned off.
Once a RESCU control has been pressed, do not attempt to crank the
engine as this may cancel the activation. In most situations, the
assistance request can only be terminated and the system reset when a
special tone is sent to the vehicle by the Lincoln Security Response
Center. (SeeAutomatic rediallater in this chapter for exceptions.)
Operation will continue even if the vehicle is turned off during an
activation (although visual feedback via the message center will not be
available in this situation).
INFO activations can be cancelled by pressing the END button on the
cellular phone.
