To program your hand-held
transmitters:
²continue to hold the button on
the HomeLinktUniversal
Transceiver.
²press and re-press the hand-held
transmitter button every two
seconds until the red light changes from a slow to a fast flash.
Operating the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLinkt
Universal Transceiver can be used in
place of hand-held transmitters. To
operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLinktbutton
(the red light will illuminate,
indicating the signal is being
transmitted).
Rolling code programming
Rolling code garage door openers (or other rolling code devices) which
are ªcode protectedº and manufactured after 1996, may be determined
by the following:
²Reference the device owner's manual for verification
²The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkt
Universal Transceiver but does not activate the device.
²Press and hold the trained HomeLinktbutton. The device has the
rolling code feature if the indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns
solid after two seconds.
After completing the ªProgrammingº functions, follow these steps to
train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature:
1. Locate thetraining buttonon the garage door motor head unit.
Refer to the garage door opener manual or call 1±800±355±3515 or on
the Internet atHomeLink.jci.com.if there is difficulty locating the
training button.
2. Press the training button on the garage door motor head unit (which

²Positioning capability temporarily degraded after battery
reconnect
When your vehicle is started, the Lincoln RESCU GPS receiver begins
the process of determining vehicle location. The receiver will search the
sky and attempt to acquire signals from all visible satellites. A real-time
clock and an almanac containing detailed information about satellite
constellation are stored in the on-board computer's memory and are used
to expedite the search. If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the clock
memory is erased and time and date are lost. Once the battery is
reconnected, it could take approximately 15 minutes to reacquire the
clock and for positioning capability to be restored. During this time, the
system will operate but the response center will not be able to identify
your location. In this situation, the operator will depend on you to
provide verbal information regarding vehicle location.
²
Inoperative if cellular signal marginal or unavailable
Since the Lincoln RESCU System utilizes the vehicle's cellular phone, it
can only be operated in geographical areas with cellular coverage.
Although approximately 90 percent of the U.S. population lives and
works in cellular coverage areas, there are various rural or mountainous
areas where coverage is marginal or does not exist. If an activation
occurs in this situation, the messages ªNO CELLULAR SIGNALº and
ªWAITING TO ACQUIREº will alternately be displayed on the message
center. If after several attempts cellular service can not be acquired, the
message ªUNABLE TO PLACE CALLº will be displayed, the assistance
request will be terminated and the phone will return to its normal
operating mode.
²
Inoperative if cellular system is busy
In a particular area, the local cellular system can only handle a limited
number of cellular calls at one time. Once volume has reached the
maximum limit, additional callers are denied access. If an activation
occurs in this situation, the messages ªCELLULAR SYSTEM BUSYº and
ªPLEASE WAITº will alternately be displayed on the message center. If
after several attempts a cellular channel cannot be acquired, the message
ªUNABLE TO PLACE CALLº will be displayed, the assistance request
will be terminated and the phone will return to its normal operating
mode.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
Your remote entry system contains two remote transmitters which
provide remote control of several features. Each remote transmitter will
allow you to:
²unlock the vehicle doors without a key.
²lock all the vehicle doors without a key.
²open the trunk without a key.
²activate the personal alarm.
²open all windows and moonroof (if equipped).
²arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
²operate the illuminated entry feature.
²operate the memory seat/mirror/steering column feature (if equipped).
The remote transmitter features only operate with the ignition in the
OFF or ACC positions. For vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission, the remote transmitter features also operate if the ignition
is in the RUN position and the gear shift is in P (Park). The personal
alarm feature, however, will not operate when the ignition is in the RUN
position.
If there is any potential remote keyless entry problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL key fobs(remote entry transmitters) are brought to the
dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.

driver door and disarm the
perimeter alarm (if armed). The
interior lamps will illuminate and
the turn signal lamps will display
two short flashes (to indicate
disarming of the perimeter alarm).

column feature (if equipped) is
activated, the corresponding
seat/mirror/steering column
positions will be recalled.

Theft indicator
When the perimeter alarm is armed, the theft indicator on the
instrument panel will flash briefly every two seconds to indicate the
perimeter alarm system is protecting your vehicle.
Arming the system
When armed, the perimeter alarm will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the turn signal lamps and the theft indicator lamp and will sound
the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
²Press the remote transmitter lock control.
²Open a door and press the power door lock control.
²Lock all doors with the key.
The system will wait 20 seconds after one of the arming actions is
performed before allowing an alarm to go off.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
²Unlock the doors by using your remote entry transmitter.
²Unlock the doors by using your key.
²Turn ignition to RUN.
SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the
correct keywill be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or
stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key
reprogramming.
This system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your
vehicle's engine can only be started with the two coded keys provided
with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the coded key is
read by the anti-theft system. If the key identification code matches the
code stored in the anti-theft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to
start. If the key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a coded key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle's engine will not operate.
