2013 LINCOLN MKZ start stop button

The remote start feature allows you
to start the vehicle from outside the
vehicle. The transmitter has an
extended operating range.
Vehicles with automatic climate
control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is remote started.
See Climate Control (page 126). A
manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when
the vehicle was last turned off.
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems.
The remote start system will not work
if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• the feature has been disabled
• the hood is not closed
• two remote vehicle starts have
already been attempted within the
last hour
• the vehicle is not in
P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too
low
• the service engine soon light is on.

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note: Each button press must be done
within three seconds of each other. The
vehicle will not remote start if this
sequence is not followed and the horn
will not chirp. The tag with your transmitter details
the starting procedure. To remote
start the vehicle:
1.
Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash
twice.

The horn will chirp if the system fails
to start, unless quiet start is on. Quiet
start will run the blower fan at a
slower speed to reduce noise. It can
be switched on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 100).
Note: If the vehicle has been remote
started and is equipped with an
integrated keyhead transmitter, you
must turn the ignition on before driving
the vehicle. If equipped with an
intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the
START/STOP button on the
instrument panel once while applying
the brake pedal before driving the
vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited
during the remote start and the radio
will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and
the engine will run for 5, 10, or 15
minutes, depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle
still running to extend the run time for
another remote start duration. If you
programmed the duration to last 10
minutes, the second 10 minutes will
begin after what is left of the first
activation time. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the
vehicle will continue to run now for a
total of 15 minutes. You can only
extend the remote start once. Wait at least five seconds before
remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown. Only two remote starts are
allowed.
The ignition must be turned on and
then back off or allow one hour to
pass before using remote start again
if additional remote starts are desired.
Turning the Vehicle Off After
Remote Starting
Press the button once. The
parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to
the vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise
of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote
start system through the information
display. See
General Information
(page 100).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or
remote controls can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Your
dealer can program the transmitters
to your vehicle or you may be able to
program them yourself. See Passive
Anti-Theft System

compartment locked and keep
keys and remote transmitters out of
a child ’s reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in the trunk and
risk injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicles. Do not leave children, unreliable

release handle that provides a means
of escape for children and adults if
they become locked inside the
luggage compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves
with the operation and location of the
release handle.
