2009 LINCOLN MKS ignition

In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will
cycle the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for several
seconds.
The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of
the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the
RESET control and clearing the warning message.
Warning messages that have been reset are divided into three categories:
•They will not disappear until a condition is changed.
•They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset.
•They will not reappear until an ignition off-on cycle has been
completed.
This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within
the vehicle.

Smart unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, by locking
the driver’s door with a key, using the

will search for a Intelligent Access Key in the passenger compartment. If
a Intelligent Access Key is found inside the vehicle, all of the doors will
immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating that the Intelligent
Access Key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
Intelligent Access Key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using
your keyless entry keypad or using the
control on another Intelligent
Access Key. Refer toKeyless entry systemin this chapter for more
information on keyless entry keypad operation.

perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle, then place the Intelligent
Access Key in the trunk, close the trunk, and rearm your perimeter
