2013 LINCOLN MKZ key battery

GENERAL INFORMATION
ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment. The term IC before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote
start feature will have a greater range.
One of the following could cause a
decrease in operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions, for example amateur
radios, medical equipment, wireless
headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use
your remote control. You can lock and
unlock the doors with the key.
Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle
before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote
control will operate if you press any
button unintentionally.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency
signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to
unlock when one of the following
conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of the front
exterior door handle.
• You press the luggage
compartment button.
• You press a button on the
transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area or
if the transmitter battery is low, you
may need to mechanically unlock your
door. You can use the mechanical key
blade in your intelligent access key to
open the driver door in this situation.
See
Remote Control (page 54).

GENERAL INFORMATION
If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers)
after you reconnect it. This is because
the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
WARNINGS
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 on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire. Do not start the engine in a
closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can
be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle
if you smell exhaust fumes. The powertrain control system meets
all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
WARNING
The keyless starting system may
not function if the key is close to
metal objects or electronic devices
such as mobile phones. Note:
A valid key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition
on and start the engine.
Switching the Ignition On
(Accessory Mode) Press the START button once. It is
located on the instrument panel near
the steering wheel. All electrical
circuits and accessories are
operational and the warning lamps
and indicators illuminate.
Starting Your Vehicle
Carry out the following steps to start
your vehicle:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.

Switching off the engine when
the vehicle is still moving will
result in a loss of brake and steering
assistance. The steering will not lock,
but higher effort will be required.
When you switch the ignition off,
some electrical circuits, warning
lamps and indicators may also be off. Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to
restart your vehicle within 20 seconds
of switching it off, even if a valid key

Once your vehicle has started, it
remains running until you press the
start button, even if it does not detect
a valid key. If you open and close a
door while your vehicle is running, the
system searches for a valid key. You
cannot start your vehicle if it does not
detect a valid key within 20 seconds.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts down
the engine if it has been idling for an
extended period of time. The ignition
also turns off in order to save battery
power. Before the engine shuts down,
a message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting
down from 30 seconds. If you do not
intervene within 30 seconds, the
engine shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that the engine has shut
down in order to save fuel. Start your
vehicle as you normally do.
Automatic Engine Shutdown

You cannot permanently switch
off the automatic engine shutdown
feature. When it is temporarily
switched off, it turns on at the next
