TROUBLESHOOTING
Phone as a Key – Frequently Asked
Questions
How can I tell if my vehicle has Phone as a
Key?
The touchscreen shows the Phone as a
Key reset option if your vehicle has
Phone as a Key. If you have registered
your vehicle through the Lincoln Way
app, a control button appears on the
home screen of the Lincoln Way app. What happens if I cannot unlock the vehicle
with Phone as a Key?
Attempt to move your phone closer to
the vehicle. Check that the Lincoln Way
app is still running and that the Phone
as a Key control screen shows
connected. If the phone is connected,
attempt to press the remote unlock
button in the Lincoln Way app. If the

Lincoln Way app, attempt to force close
and restart the app.
Why do I get a No Key Detected message
in the instrument cluster display when I am
using Phone as a Key and my phone is in
the car? Your phone ’s Bluetooth connection has
been disrupted or is not connected. Try
reconnecting your phone's Bluetooth
connection. Move the phone closer to
the center of the vehicle near the cup

Note:
Not every feature applies to every
vehicle in every market. When they are
available for your vehicle, then they appear
in your information display, providing choices
to switch them on or off, or to select a more
specific setting.
• Various vehicle speed limits so the
MyKey driver cannot exceed certain
speeds. The information display shows
warnings followed by an audible tone
when the MyKey driver reaches the set
speed. You cannot override the set
speed by fully depressing the accelerator
pedal. WARNING: Do not set MyKey
maximum speed limit to a limit that will
prevent the driver from maintaining a safe
speed considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury. •
Various vehicle speed reminders so
MyKey drivers know when their vehicle
speed approaches the limits. Warnings
appear in your information display and a
tone sounds when the MyKey drivers
exceed the set vehicle speed.
• The audio system's maximum volume
limits to 45% so MyKey drivers can
concentrate on the road. A message
appears in the information display when
MyKey drivers attempt to exceed the
limited volume. MyKey also disables the
automatic volume control.
Note: If your
vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a
very basic audio system, then the radio
may not limit.
• Always on setting. This setting forces
certain features to remain on and active
for MyKey drivers. For example, E911 or
emergency assistance and the do not
disturb features stay on even if a MyKey
driver uses the feature's control to switch
it off. When selected, you will not be able
to turn off Advance Trac or traction
control (if your vehicle has this feature). CREATING A MYKEY

admin key user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
Your vehicle has an intelligent electronically
controlled door system that is in constant
communication with overall vehicle systems.
When you lock your vehicle using the lock
switch on each door interior trim panel, or
by using the keyless entry keypad or the lock
sensor on each door exterior trim panel, the
exterior door handle switches do not release
the doors. This helps to secure your vehicle
and prevent unauthorized entry. Also, when
your vehicle reaches a speed greater than
12 mph (20 km/h) the exterior door handle
switches do not release the doors.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff
switch activates, all interior and exterior
unlock switches do not unlock your door for
six seconds. This helps to secure the doors
in the event of a crash. After six seconds, all
switches reset and you can open the doors
using the interior and exterior unlatch
switches. Door Lock Indicator

when you lock the doors. It remains on for

the door lock switches and the interior
luggage compartment release switch do not
operate after 20 seconds. You must unlock

You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display.
