Stopping the Decklid Movement
Note:
Do not apply sudden excessive force
to the decklid while it is in motion. This could
damage the power decklid and its
components.
You can stop the decklid movement by doing
any of the following:
• Pressing the decklid control button.
• Pressing the remote control button twice.
• Pressing the button on the instrument
panel.
• Moving your foot under and away from
the center rear bumper in a single-kick
motion. *
* This method only works for vehicles with the
hands-free decklid feature.
Resetting the Power Decklid
The decklid may not operate correctly and
you may need to reset it if:
• The vehicle battery charge is low.
• You disconnect the battery.
• You manually close the decklid and leave
it unlatched. 1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds
then reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close the decklid making sure it is fully closed.
3. Power open the decklid using the remote
control or instrument panel button.
Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. A tone sounds and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the decklid.
Note: Entering your vehicle while the decklid
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power decklid close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
your vehicle, check the instrument cluster
for a trunk ajar or door ajar message or
warning indicator. Failure to do this could
result in unintentionally leaving the decklid
open while driving. When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the decklid.
Hands-Free Feature (If Equipped)
The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft
(1 m)
of the decklid.

INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE WARNING:
Keep vehicle doors and
luggage 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. WARNING:
Do not leave children or
animals unattended in the vehicle. On hot
days, the temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to these
high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a 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.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note:
The system is not compatible with
non-Lincoln aftermarket remote start
systems. Use of these systems may result in
engine starting problems and a loss of
security protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may result in vehicle starting problems,
especially if they are too close to the key
when starting your vehicle. Prevent these
objects from touching the coded key when
starting your vehicle. Switch the ignition off,
move all objects on the key chain away from
the coded key and restart your vehicle if a
problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle. SecuriLock®
The system helps prevent the engine from
starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. Using the
wrong key may prevent your vehicle from
starting. A message may appear in the
information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with a
coded key, it is not operating correctly. A
message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch the
ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch the
ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes with two keys. The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on the intelligent access
with push button start system, as well as a
remote control.
If your programmed transmitters are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you will need to have your vehicle
towed to an authorized dealer. You need to
erase the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys.
Store a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. You can
purchase replacement keys or remote
controls from an authorized dealer.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access
Key
Note:
You can program a maximum of four
keys to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed
intelligent access keys inside your vehicle
and the new unprogrammed intelligent
access key readily accessible. You can
purchase replacement keys or remote
controls from an authorized dealer.

entry to your vehicle. It will be triggered if
any door, the luggage compartment or the
hood is opened without using the key,
remote control or keyless entry keypad.
The direction indicators will flash and the
horn will sound if unauthorized entry is
attempted while the alarm is armed.
Take all remote controls to an authorized
dealer if there is any potential alarm problem
with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The alarm is ready to arm when there is not
a key in your vehicle. Electronically lock your
vehicle to arm the alarm.

Unlock the doors or luggage
compartment with the remote control or
keyless entry keypad.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
OPENER
HomeLink Wireless Control System
WARNING: 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. 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 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. The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door opener
with a three-button transmitter 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.
You can program garage doors as well as
entry gate operators, security systems, entry
door locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be found
online at www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/user/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling the toll-free help line at
1-800-355-3515.
In-Vehicle Programming
This process is to program your in-vehicle
HomeLink function button with your
hand-held transmitter.
Note: The programming steps below assume
you will be programming HomeLink that was
not previously programmed. If your
HomeLink was previously programmed, you
may need to erase your HomeLink buttons.

Erasing the Function Button Codes.
