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.
139
MKZ (CC9) Universal Garage Door OpenerE142657
1. With your vehicle parked outside of
the garage, turn your ignition to the on
position, but do not start your vehicle.
2. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the HomeLink
button you want to program.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously, press and hold the desired HomeLink
button and the hand-held transmitter
button. DO NOT release either one
until the HomeLink indicator light
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When
the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapid
flashing indicates successful training.
4. Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for five seconds, then
release. You may need to do this twice
to activate the door. If your garage
door does not operate, watch the
HomeLink indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete. See
Programming your garage door motor
later in this section.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2
seconds and then turns to a constant light,
the HomeLink button is not programmed
yet. Do the following: Press and hold the HomeLink button while
you press and release the hand-held
transmitter button every 2 seconds. The
HomeLink indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly once the HomeLink
function button recognizes and accepts
the hand-held transmitter’
s radio
frequency signal.
After programming the HomeLink button,
begin programming your garage door
opener motor.
Note: You may need a ladder to reach the
unit and you may need to remove the
cover or lamp lens on your garage door
opener. To program additional buttons, repeat
Steps 1 – 4.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure the vehicle is in P
(Park). Turn the ignition off whenever you
leave your vehicle. Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously for
more than three seconds will limit engine
rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury. Push Button Shift Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
transmission. The shift buttons are located
on the instrument panel, next to the
MyLincoln Touch
™ system. The gears are
selected by pressing and releasing the
PRNDL
buttons. Every time a gear is selected, the selected
button will light up. You will also see the
gear selected appear in the instrument
cluster. Understanding the Positions of your
Electronic Transmission
Note:
Always come to a complete stop
before putting your vehicle into and out
of
P (Park).
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Press and release the button on the instrument panel of the gear you want
to select.
3. The gear shift button you select will illuminate and the instrument cluster
will show the selected gear.
4. Release the brake pedal and your transmission will remain in the selected
gear.
Note: If the driver attempts to leave the
vehicle while it is in gear, the vehicle will
automatically shift into
P (Park). Seatbelt
and door monitors determine the driver's
intent and makes the shift for you. During
this time a
Transmission not in Park
message will appear in the display screen,
prompting the driver to make the shift. To
put the vehicle in gear with the door open
perform steps 1-4. See the
Automatic
Return to Park section in this chapter for
more information on this feature.

Use the brake-shift interlock override
procedure to put the vehicle in gear in the
event of an electrical malfunction or if your
vehicle has a dead battery. The brake shift
interlock override button is located inside
of the center console, below media inputs.
You will need a tool (for example a
screwdriver or similar tool) to access the
button.
1. Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition off before performing this
procedure. 2. Locate the brake shifter interlock
access slot. The slot is located below
the media hub, in the front of the
center console storage bin and it is not
labeled
Note: Make sure that you correctly identify
the access hole as not to damage the
media hub. 3.
Using a tool, press and hold the brake
shift interlock switch. When the
instrument panel buttons flash, the
vehicle is in override mode.
4. With the override switch still held, press the N (Neutral button) for towing,
or the desired gear to shift from Park.
5. Release the override button.
6. The vehicle will remain in Stay in Neutral mode for wrecker towing
purposes or can be shifted to the
desired gear and driven (if the vehicle
can be driven).
7. Release the parking brake.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow
Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the
engine may overheat.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
