2020 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL remote control

WARNING: Keep keys out of the
reach of children. Do not allow children to
operate or play near an open or moving
power decklid. You should supervise the
operation of the power decklid at all times.
Note: Do not drive with the decklid open
unless you switch off the power feature.
Make sure you fully close the decklid before
you drive your vehicle.
You can switch the power decklid feature on
or off in the information display. See
General
Information (page 117). The remote control
and instrument panel button still operates
the decklid regardless of the setting.
Opening and Closing the Power

decklid while it is under operation, as this

opened, this indicates there may be
excessive weight on the decklid or a possible
strut failure. A repetitive tone sounds and
the decklid closes under control. Remove
any excessive weight from the decklid. If the
decklid continues to close after opening,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

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.

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

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
