2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR garage door

Limited GPS reception
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
• in multi-story parking garages
• in tunnels and under bridges
• inside or in between buildings
• by forests or tree-lined avenues
• in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
• in valleys and in mountainous regions
• roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the rear parcel shelf.
If your windows are tinted, ensure that you use non-metal tinting instead
of metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can interrupt GPS reception.
Cleaning the display
Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the unit. Instead, spray onto a
soft cloth and gently wipe the unit. Only recommended products should
be used.
• Recommended products- Rubbing alcohol based cleaner (i.e., methyl
alcohol) or a damp clean cloth.
• Not harmful but not recommended- ammonia cleaner, neutral
detergent.
• Harmful to system and not recommended- acid cleaner, alkali cleaner,
benzene cleaner.
Do not clean any part of the system with benzene, paint thinner or any
other solvent.
Do not spill liquids of any kind onto the unit.
Loading the map DVD
• Your navigation DVD unit is located in the front lower center stack
area by the passenger ’ s feet (access door).
• Ensure that the vehicle ignition is ON.
• If a DVD is already loaded in the Navigation unit, push the eject
button.
• Load the DVD with the printed side up. Do not allow moisture or
foreign objects to enter the slot.

HOMELINK  WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM
The HomeLink  Wireless Control System, located on the driver ’ s visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.

When programming your HomeLink  Wireless Control System to
a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink  Wireless Control System with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLink  at: www.homelink.com or 1 – 800 – 355 – 3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink  equipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelink  buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to
Programming in this section.
Programming
Do not program HomeLink  with the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note: Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLink  .Itis
also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink  for quicker
training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds. Do not repeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLink  buttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink  .
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2 – 8cm(1 – 3 inches) away from the HomeLink 
button you wish to program (located on your visor) while keeping the
red light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLink  and hand-held
transmitter button. Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
“ Gate Operator and Canadian Programming ” section for Canadian
residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters ’ radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink  button and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLink  button is pressed and
released. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLink  buttons,
begin with step 2 in the “ Programming ” section — do not repeat step 1.
Note: If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “ learn ” or “ smart ” button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
7. Press and release the “ learn ” or “ smart ” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink  button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other
rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming.
HomeLink  should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To
program additional HomeLink  buttons begin with step 2 in the
“ Programming ” section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1 – 800 – 355 – 3515.

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting —
not allowing enough time for
HomeLink  to accept the signal
from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in the “ Programming ”
section, replace step 3 with the following:
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “ cycling ” process to prevent
overheating.
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink  button (note step 3 in the
“ Programming ” section) while you press and release — every two
seconds ( “ cycle ” ) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink  . The red indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink  accepts the radio
frequency signal.
• Proceed with step 4 in the “ Programming ” section.
Operating the HomeLink  Wireless Control System
To operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLink  button.
Activation will now occur for the
trained product (garage door, gate
operator, security system, entry
door lock, or home or office lighting
etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held transmitter of the device
may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still
programming difficulties, contact HomeLink  at www.homelink.com or
1 – 800 – 355 – 3515.

Do not open the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area with a low
ceiling. If the liftgate is raised the liftgate could be damaged against a
low ceiling.
To open the liftgate from the Overhead console:
Refer to Overhead controls in this section.
To open the liftgate with the Key fob:
Refer to Remote Entry System in the Locks and security chapter.
To open the liftgate with outside
release handle (manual
actuation):
1. To open, unlock the liftgate with
the key fob or power door unlock
control.
2. Pull and release the liftgate
handle to engage the power assist
feature.
Note: Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the obstacle
detection feature and stop the power system. For the best performance
allow the power system to open the liftgate after releasing the handle.
3. To close, pull down the liftgate a few inches to activate power closing.
Closing the gate rapidly or more than a few inches may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power system.
Note: You will need to wait 2 seconds after opening the liftgate to begin
manually closing the power liftgate.
Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full
open when it encounters a solid obstacle. Once the obstacle is removed,
the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. If the liftgate stops below the half open
position, you will need to close and fully latch the liftgate manually.
Normal operation can then be resumed.

STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. OFF/LOCK, locks the steering
wheel, automatic transmission
gearshift lever and allows key
removal.
2. ACCESSORY, allows the electrical
accessories such as the radio to
operate while the engine is not
running.
3. ON, all electrical circuits
operational. Warning lights
illuminated. Key position when driving.
4. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This
system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio
noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have
difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the
vehicle, refer to Starting the engine in this chapter.
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk
of fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. See Guarding against exhaust fumes in
this chapter for more instructions. 43
