2013 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID remote control

Saving a Pre-Set Position
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Adjust the seat, exterior mirrors
and power steering column to your
desired position.
3. Press and hold the desired pre-set
button until you hear a single
chime.
Up to three pre-set memory positions
may be saved. A memory pre-set may
be saved at any time.
Recalling a Pre-Set Position
Press and release the pre-set button
associated with your desired driving
position. The seat, mirrors and
steering column will move to the
position stored for that pre-set.
Note: A pre-set memory position can
only be recalled when the ignition is off,
or when the transmission selector lever
is in position P or N (and your vehicle
is not moving) if the ignition is on.
A pre-set memory position can also
be recalled by pressing the unlock
button on your remote control or
intelligent access key if it is linked to
a pre-set position. Linking a Pre-Set Position to
your Remote Control or
Intelligent Access Key
Your vehicle can save the pre-set
memory positions for up to three
remote controls or intelligent access
(IA) keys.
1. With the ignition on, move the
memory positions to the desired
positions.
2. Press and hold the desired pre-set
button for about five seconds. A
chime will sound after about two
seconds. Continue holding until a
second chime is heard.
3. Within three seconds, press the lock button on the remote control
you are linking.
To unlink a remote control, follow the
same procedure – except in step 3,
press the unlock button on the remote
control.
Note: To stop seat movement during
a recall, press any driver seat
adjustment control, any of the memory
buttons, or any mirror control switch.
Seat movement will also stop if you
move your vehicle.
Note: If more than one linked remote
control or IA key is in range, the memory
function will move to the settings of
the first key stored.

HomeLink Wireless Control
System (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death. Note:
Make sure that the garage door
and security device are free from
obstruction when you are
programming. Do not program the
system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
system programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the
sale or lease termination of your
vehicle, you erase the programmed
function buttons for security reasons.
See Erasing the function button codes
later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum
of three devices. To change or replace
any of the three devices after it has
been initially programmed, you must
first erase the current settings. See
Erasing the function button codes later
in this section. The universal garage door opener
replaces the common hand-held
garage door opener with a
three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary
features, a garage door opener and a
platform for remote activation of
devices within the home. As well as
being programmed for garage doors,
the system transmitter can be
programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry
door locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com
or by calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
In-vehicle programming
This process is to program your
hand-held transmitter and your
in-vehicle HomeLink button.
Note: Put a new battery in the
hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.

A message displays if something
obstructs the radar signals from the
sensor. The sensor is located behind
a fascia cover near the driver side of
the lower grille. The system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and will not
function when something obstructs
the radar signals. The following table
lists possible causes and actions for
this message displaying.
Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the
radar or remove the object causing the obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is
dirty or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is no longer obstructed.
The surface of the radar in the grille is
clean but the message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these condi-tions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with
the radar signals.
Do not use the system in these condi-tions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the
surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normalcruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with
no other vehicles and no roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology,
it is possible to get a blockage warning
and not be blocked. This can happen,
for example, when driving in sparse
rural or desert environments. A false
blocked condition will either self clear
or clear after a key cycle. Switching to Normal Cruise
Control WARNING
Normal cruise control will not
brake due to slower vehicles.
Always be aware of which mode is
selected and apply the brakes when
necessary. 217

Activated will also appear on the
instrument cluster. The message may
not appear if your vehicle runs out of
power.
Once the hazard warning flashers
have been activated, you can turn
them off by:
• Pressing the hazard warning
flasher button
• Pressing the remote control unlock
button
• Pressing the remote control panic
button
• Cycling the ignition on and off
twice

MKZ (CC9) Roadside Emergencies

WARNINGS
may be found on either the Safety
Compliance Certification Label
(affixed to either the door hinge
pillar, door-latch post, or the door
edge that meets the door-latch
post, next to the driver's seating
position), or the Tire Label which
is located on the B-Pillar or edge
of the driver ’s door. If this
information is not found on these
labels then you should contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Use of any tire or wheel
not recommended by Ford can
affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle, which could result
in an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death.
Additionally the use of
non-recommended tires and
wheels could cause steering,
suspension, axle, transfer case or
power transfer unit failure. If you
have questions regarding tire
replacement, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. To reduce the risk of injury,
when mounting replacement
tires and wheels, you should not
exceed the maximum pressure
indicated on the sidewall of the
tire to set the beads without
additional precautions listed
below. If the beads do not seat at
the maximum pressure indicated,
re-lubricate and try again WARNINGS
When inflating the tire for
mounting pressures up to 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure on the tire
sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the
tire:
1. Make sure that you have the
correct tire and wheel size.
2. Lubricate the tire bead and
wheel bead seat area again.
3. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet
(3.66 meters) away from the
wheel and tire assembly.
4. Use both eye and ear
protection.
For a mounting pressure more
than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than
the maximum pressure, a Ford
dealer or other tire service
professional should do the
mounting.
Always inflate steel carcass tires
with a remote air fill with the
person inflating standing at a
minimum of 12 feet (3.66 meters)
away from the wheel and tire
assembly 325
