Service engine soon
Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’s emission control system. This system is commonly known as the
SERVICE
ENGINE
SOON
On Board Diagnostics System (OBD II). The OBD II system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD II system also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.
The Service Engine Soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require towing.
What you should do if the Service Engine Soon light illuminates
Light turns on solid:
This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.
Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service Engine Soon light to illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run poorly.)
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.
8
Instrumentation
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the Service Engine Soon light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.
If the Service Engine Soon light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
Air bag readiness
Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned ON. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.
AIR
BAG
Safety belt
Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.

Instrumentation
Brake system warning
Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to ensure the circuit is functional. Also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to ensure the circuit is functional. If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.
Turn signal
Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If one or both of the indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out turn signal bulb. Refer to Bulbs in the Maintenance and care chapter.

ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER
The electronic message center only works when the ignition is in the ON position.
The message center tells you about the condition of your vehicle by two methods:
operator selectable features
continuous warning reporting of
monitored systems
You can select different features for the message center to display by using the message center controls located to the right of the instrument cluster. You will hear a tone when you press one of these controls. However, the message center will display the appropriate warning message if it detects a warning from any of the monitored systems.
If you have a vehicle with the Driver Select System, which allows you to save operator selectable features to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2, you have a DRIVER ID control in place of the E/M control.
The message center will display the Memory Profile System features (operator selectable features) which are selected from the MENU and VEHICLE HANDLING controls.
The Memory Profile System allows for two primary drivers to save their individual seat and outside rearview mirror position preferences. The feature will then be set to the remote entry transmitter, that will automatically recall the saved individualized preferences. Refer to Basic Operation of Memory Profile System in this section.

Basic operation of Memory Profile System
In order for the system to be able to store or recall an individual’s seat and mirror position preferences, the Memory Profile must first recognize who will be driving the vehicle. Drivers may identify themselves to the system one of two ways:
Pressing the unlock control on the appropriate remote transmitter (Memory position 1 or Memory position 2 is identified by the number on the back of the remote transmitter) before opening the driver’s door.
Entering either the Personality 1 or Personality 2 personalized code into the keyless entry keypad before opening the driver’s door.
For information on programming personalized codes see Remote and Keyless entry systems in the Control and features section.
Once the system has identified the driver (Memory position 1 or Memory position 2), the seat and mirror will automatically begin to move to that driver profile. Changes made to the seat and mirror positions will automatically be saved to that profile.
If the driver should enter the vehicle without first identifying themselves, all features will remain at their last setting or position and any settings will be saved to the vehicle not individualized settings.

DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy initialized by the factory. This value is not the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel economy is based on more than 800 kilometers (500 miles) of driving history, and is reinitialized if the battery is disconnected.
If the FUEL LEVEL ERROR message is displayed, there is a problem with the fuel indication system and you should contact your dealer for service as soon as possible.
Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic message center display
The following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your actual highway fuel economy. Since this procedure requires the vehicle speed control system to be set to highway speeds, it must be run only on suitable roadways where long distance speed control can be safely maintained.
You may notice gradual improvement in fuel economy over the course of your vehicle’s break-in period (approximately 1 600 kilometers [1 000 miles]).

The air conditioning compressor can operate in all modes except and . It will also operate only when required when AUTO has been selected. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you have stopped the vehicle.
MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. The temperature will display 16°C (60°F). To exit, press AUTOMATIC or any other override controls.

If a manual override function is selected while the outside temperature is displayed, the new function will be displayed for four seconds after it is changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window along with the override selection.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
Operating tips
In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in DEF before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.
Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet duct.
Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from contamination of outside pollutants.
If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the climate control system as desired.
Don’t put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the airflow to the back seats.
31
Controls and features
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (at the bottom of the windshield and underneath the hood).
Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in addition to damaging the climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

The rear defroster control is located on the instrument panel.
Press the rear defroster control to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog.

Radio frequency information
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
Radio reception factors
Three factors can affect radio reception:
Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.
Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.
Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.

Quick summary
To utilize your vehicle’s RESCU system, your cellular phone must be activated and plugged into the vehicle interface.
Information or emergency assistance can be requested whenever your key is in the RUN/START/ACC position and for six minutes after the vehicle is turned off.
An assistance request is initiated by pressing either the Information or Emergency control located in the overhead console.
When a control is pressed, a warning lamp located in the overhead console will begin to flash and status messages will display on the vehicle’s message center/audio display (messages can only be displayed when the key is in the RUN/START/ACC position).
The vehicle’s cellular phone automatically places a call to a 24 hour emergency response center.
When contact is made, the vehicle sends an electronic data message to the response center’s computer. This data message includes latitude and longitude coordinates obtained from the vehicle’s positioning system and customer identification information.
Once the data transmission is complete, the call is forwarded to a response center operator who confirms your location using a computerized map.
The vehicle’s cellular handset is locked-out, the phone is automatically placed in the “hands-free” mode and voice communication is established with the operator through the “hands-free” microphone.
Typically, voice communication with an operator is established within one minute after an assistance control is pressed.
During voice communication the system will display latitude and longitude coordinates and customer identification number on the message center/audio display.
The operator verbally obtains details of your situation and, if necessary, ties your vehicle into a three-way phone call with the United States Auto Club or local 911 or other emergency services to dispatch the appropriate assistance to your location.
In most situations, only the response center can terminate an assistance request. Once the operator terminates the call, the system warning light will stop flashing and the system will be reset.

General description
Lincoln’s Remote Emergency Satellite Cellular Unit (RESCU) is designed to expedite roadside, emergency or information assistance to motorists who are uncertain of their location and/or are uncertain of whom to contact for assistance.
The Lincoln RESCU system utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and the nation’s cellular phone network to track vehicle location and, at the touch of a control, put you in voice contact with the Lincoln Security Response Center.
Two controls in the overhead console, Information (i) and Emergency (S.O.S.) will activate the system:
When a control is selected, the RESCU System will direct the vehicle’s cellular phone to automatically place a call to the response center’s central computer. Once a connection is made, an electronic data message will be transmitted. This data message will include:
Type of alarm (Information, Emergency or Air Bag activation)
Customer Identification Number (CID)
Latitude and longitude coordinates
Last recorded speed and direction of the vehicle
Time tag identifying when last position was taken
Call-back phone number
After the transmission is complete, the call is forwarded to an operator who will verify the details of the request and confirm the vehicle’s location using a computerized map.
Information Control
The Information control provides the customer access to the information such as points of interest near their current location, route assistance and other services as they become available.
There may be charges incurred for certain services.
i

69
Controls and features
The Emergency (S.O.S.) control should be selected if emergency assistance is required. This feature should be used:
if you have been involved in an accident.
to report a crime or fire.
when medical attention is required.
to receive assistance in an emergency situation.
There may be charges incurred for certain services.
Upon receiving an Emergency Activation (by pressing the emergency control or via an air bag activation) the Lincoln Security Response Center relays details of the situation and the location of the vehicle to the appropriate authorities and establishes a three-way phone call. While the appropriate authorities dispatch help to your location, the response center will:
dispatch the emergency help to your location.
when appropriate, stay in direct phone contact with you until
emergency help arrives.
notify pre-designated family contacts or friends of the emergency situation, if requested, or if no response is received from the vehicle.
If you are certain of your location, a direct phone call to 911 or other emergency services may provide a faster response.
If roadside assistance is required, the Lincoln Security Response Center will contact the Lincoln Commitment Roadside Assistance provider via three–way phone call.
S.O.S.
Supplemental Personalized Information Services (if equipped)
Additional services such as accessing sports scores, news and weather may be available through the in-vehicle phone or the mobile phone outside. Details on the availability and setting up the profile to personalize these services will be provided in the Cellular phone operations literature. There may be charges for some of these services.
70
Controls and features
Activation and deactivation
When either of the two Lincoln RESCU controls are pressed, or the air bags are deployed (this will activate the system as an emergency automatically), a warning light, located in the overhead console, will begin to flash and status messages will be displayed on the vehicle’s message center/audio display, confirming an assistance request has been made. The warning light will continue to flash throughout the activation.
The system can be activated whenever your ignition key is in the RUN/START/ACC position and for six minutes after your vehicle is turned off. Once a RESCU control has been pressed, do not attempt to crank the engine as this may cancel the activation. In most situations, the assistance request can only be terminated and the system reset when a special tone is sent to the vehicle by the Lincoln Security Response Center. (See Automatic redial later in this chapter for exceptions.) Operation will continue even if the vehicle is turned off during an activation (although visual feedback via the message center/audio display will not be available in this situation).
INFO activations can be cancelled by pressing the END button on the cellular phone.
Cellular phone interface
The cellular phone must be connected to the vehicle and activated for the system to work. During an activation, Lincoln RESCU takes control of the vehicle’s cellular phone. If the phone is in use, the call will be terminated and the Lincoln Security Response Center will automatically be dialed. The cellular handset becomes inoperative and all voice communication with the operator is accomplished via the cellular phone’s “hands-free” microphone.
When an activation is terminated, your phone is left unlocked, in the ON state and may not return to its previous call restriction or system selection setting. It can be reprogrammed to your previous setting as desired.
Refer to your cellular phone user’s manual for further information.
Message center interface
During an activation, Lincoln RESCU communicates with the vehicle’s message center/audio display. Status messages describing the sequence of the steps being executed are displayed, allowing you to visually follow the activation process. The following messages are typical of those

These messages respectively are the customer identification number, vehicle latitude and vehicle longitude. Under special conditions, the operator may ask you to read the information being displayed on the message center/audio display.
72
Controls and features
Automatic redial
As described previously, when an assistance request is made, the vehicle’s cellular phone automatically dials the Lincoln Security Response Center’s central computer and attempts to send an electronic data message. On rare occasions, it can be difficult for the computer to recognize the message if the cellular connection is weak or noisy. If the transmission of the message is unsuccessful, the data call will be terminated and the message “REDIAL IN PROGRESS/REDIALING” will be displayed on the message center/audio display. A second call will automatically be placed which bypasses the response center’s computer and is forwarded directly to an operator.
Similarly, if the cellular call is disconnected by the network prior to receipt of the termination tone, another call to the response center will also automatically be dialed. The message “REDIAL IN PROGRESS/REDIALING” will be displayed on the message center/audio display and voice communication with an operator will be restored.
During redial calls, full control of the cellular phone is returned to you. Pressing either PWR or END on the cellular handset will terminate the assistance request and reset the system.
Location data retransmit capability
During an activation, the Lincoln Security Response Center operator has the capability to initiate a retransmission of the electronic data message. This may be necessary to ensure a more precise determination of vehicle location or to track a vehicle that is moving. To accomplish the retransmit, a special tone is sent to the vehicle by the response center. In this situation you will temporarily lose voice contact with the operator and the messages “SENDING LOCATION DATA/SENDING DATA” and “DATA RECEIVED/DATA RECEIVED” will be respectively displayed on the message center/audio display. After the data retransmission is complete, voice communication will be restored and the CID, LAT, LON and HDG message will again alternately toggle on them message center /audio display.
Global positioning system
Vehicle location is continuously updated via Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for worldwide navigational and positioning purposes. It utilizes a constellation of 24 orbiting satellites located more than 20 000 km (12 428 miles) above the earth. At any given time, several of the
73
Controls and features
24 satellites should be visible to the vehicle’s GPS receiver. Based on the time for signals emitted by these satellites to reach the receiver, an on-board computer will determine the vehicle’s location, typically within 30 meters (100 feet). In addition to latitude and longitude, the system also determines heading and speed.
Vehicle positioning information is relayed to the Lincoln Security Response Center only during roadside or emergency requests. The response center will not be able to track your location while in an inactive state.
Lincoln RESCU system limitations
Inoperative if cellular phone inactive or inoperative
Lincoln RESCU utilizes your vehicle’s cellular phone and will not operate if cellular service has not been activated or if the phone is inoperative.
Inoperative if battery discharged or disconnected
Lincoln RESCU is powered by the vehicle’s battery and will not operate if the battery is discharged or disconnected.
Inoperative if cellular phone is not installed in the vehicle
interface
Lincoln RESCU utilizes your vehicle’s cellular phone and will not operate if cellular phone is not installed in the vehicle interface.
Potentially inoperative if vehicle involved in accident
If the vehicle is involved in an accident, some components can be damaged, rendering your RESCU System inoperative.
Positioning capability degraded if satellite signals obstructed
Vehicle positioning is accomplished by receiving and interpreting signals transmitted by satellites. If the signals are obstructed positioning capability could be degraded or lost. This situation will be most prevalent in urban areas populated with tall buildings. tunnels, underpasses, parking garages, trees and similar structures could also adversely affect positioning performance. Under these conditions, the system will operate but the response center could have difficulty identifying your current location. (The last valid position obtained before the obstruction is retained, however, and will be sent.) The operator may depend on you to provide verbal information regarding vehicle location.
74
Controls and features
Positioning capability temporarily degraded after battery
reconnect
When your vehicle is started, the Lincoln RESCU GPS receiver begins the process of determining vehicle location. The receiver will search the sky and attempt to acquire signals from all visible satellites. A real-time clock and an almanac containing detailed information about satellite constellation are stored in the on-board computer’s memory and are used to expedite the search. If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, the clock memory is erased and time and date are lost. Once the battery is reconnected, it could take approximately 15 minutes to reacquire the clock and for positioning capability to be restored. During this time, the system will operate but the response center will not be able to identify your location. In this situation, the operator will depend on you to provide verbal information regarding vehicle location.
Inoperative if cellular signal marginal or unavailable
Since the Lincoln RESCU System utilizes the vehicle’s cellular phone, it can only be operated in geographical areas with cellular coverage. Although approximately 90 percent of the U.S. population lives and works in cellular coverage areas, there are various rural or mountainous areas where coverage is marginal or does not exist. If an activation occurs in this situation, the messages “NO CELLULAR SIGNAL/NO SIGNAL” and “WAITING TO ACQUIRE/RETRYING” will alternately be displayed on the message center/audio display. If after several attempts cellular service can not be acquired, the message “UNABLE TO PLACE CALL/CALL FAILED” will be displayed, the assistance request will be terminated and the phone will return to its normal operating mode.
Inoperative if cellular system is busy
In a particular area, the local cellular system can only handle a limited number of cellular calls at one time. Once volume has reached the maximum limit, additional callers are denied access. If an activation occurs in this situation, the messages “CELLULAR SYSTEM BUSY/SYSTEM BUSY” and “PLEASE WAIT” will alternately be displayed on the message center/audio display. If after several attempts a cellular channel cannot be acquired, the message “UNABLE TO PLACE CALL/CALL FAILED” will be displayed, the assistance request will be terminated and the phone will return to its normal operating mode.
75
Controls and features
Incompatible with cellular PIN feature
Some cellular carriers offer custom phone numbers that are assigned a personal identification number (PIN). In this situation, the user is required to enter the PIN with any phone calls made over the network. The PIN feature is not compatible with the Lincoln RESCU System. At the time your phone is activated, ask your carrier to assign you a phone number that does not require a personal identification number. If you have difficulty obtaining a non-PIN number, contact you dealer or call the Ford Cellular System Clearinghouse at 1–800–367–3357 for assistance.
Incompatible or performance limited with certain cellular
providers features
Some cellular carriers offer customers various optional features with their cellular services. Several of these features are not compatible or could potentially limit the performance of your Lincoln RESCU System. Some outgoing calls, hotline and NPA restrictions are incompatible cellular features and must be avoided. Operation is possible with no incoming calls, call forwarding, busy/no answer transfer and call waiting, but these features could impact overall system performance. Because carriers are regularly making new features available to customers, this list may not be complete. Contact you dealer for assistance if you are unsure if a particular cellular feature is compatible with your Lincoln RESCU System.
Potential limitations if activated outside home cellular region or
Sprint PCS digital network
At the time you receive your vehicle your dealer will activate your phone. This carrier is usually local to your region and will handle call processing and billing services for your cellular telephone. In order to use your phone when traveling outside your home cellular region, the services of the carriers local to the new area will be required. If your home carrier has an agreement with the new local carrier, your phone calls could be forwarded to an operator. However under some circumstances you may be required to provide a credit card number before your call is processed. If an activation occurs in this situation, the initial call will be terminated and a second call which bypasses the response center’s computer will be placed.
Unlike during the first call attempt, your cellular handset will not be locked during the second call, so you will have the option of terminating the assistance request at any time by pushing either PWR or END on the
76
Controls and features
cellular phone. If the second call is not terminated, it will be forwarded to a local cellular carrier operator. In this situation, you can provide the operator with the number you are dialing (Lincoln Security Response Center at 1–888–99RESCU [1–888–997–3728]) and your credit card number or ask to be connected to the local 911 or other emergency services.
Registration requirement
In order to receive effective service, it is highly recommended that you register with the Lincoln Security Response Center shortly after receiving your vehicle. The registration process is simple and can be accomplished by calling the Lincoln Security Response Center at 1–888–99RESCU (1–888–997–3728). Alternatively, the registration process can be completed on-line during an acquaintance period activation. (See “Acquaintance activations” later in this section for details.) The information requested will aid in servicing you more efficiently during an assistance request.
Acquaintance activations
It is required that you initiate an acquaintance activation shortly after receiving your vehicle and having your phone activated. An acquaintance activation is initiated by pressing either the roadside or emergency control. When voice communication is established with the Lincoln Security Response Center, indicate that you are a new user and the operator will follow special acquaintance period support procedures which are intended to familiarize you with your Lincoln RESCU System. As described previously, the acquaintance call can also be used to complete the registration for new customers.
Service charges
For four years, beginning with your vehicle’s warranty period, you will be entitled to unlimited emergency and roadside assistance activations without facing service charges. (These activations should be made only when emergency or roadside assistance is required.) You will be responsible, however, for any charges imposed by your cellular phone carrier for the 1–800 phone call to the Lincoln Security Response Center. After your initial service period expires, you will be required to pay a monitoring fee if you elect to continue emergency and roadside assistance. Your dealer can provide you with specific information regarding post-initial service period fees.

HOMELINKUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver’s visor, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, to a garage door or gate be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call toll-free: 1–800–355–3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com.

ELECTRONIC COMPASS (IF EQUIPPED)
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antennas. Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.
