Privacy Notice for GPS Mapping with
MyLincoln Mobile
MyLincoln Mobile allows for GPS mapping
when a vehicle is registered to a MyLincoln
Mobile account. To remove the vehicle from
the account, thereby removing GPS mapping
ability, a Master Reset can be performed in
the vehicle. See Settings (page 442).
Before transferring ownership of a vehicle,
owners may choose to execute a Master
Reset or Factory Reset (completed via the
MyLincoln Mobile website). Either method
removes the vehicle from all MyLincoln
Mobile accounts.
It is recommended that new owners conduct
a Master Reset upon taking possession of
the vehicle to remove it from any existing
MyLincoln Mobile accounts. The new owner
can activate a MyLincoln Mobile account by
completing registration process on the
