Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have

the respective system inspected immediately.

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.

Light turns on solid:

Temporary malfunctions may cause the light to illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.

Page 11

Instrument Cluster

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 fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the 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 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.

Brake system warning

Illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. Also momentarily illuminates at start up to ensure the circuit is functional. If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, or illuminates after releasing the parking brake, seek service immediately. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information.

BRAKE

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates at start up to ensure the circuit is functional. If the light does not illuminate, remains on or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced (refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information). With the ABS light on, the ABS is disabled and normal braking is still functional.

Entertainment Systems

The magazine does not need to be full for the changer to operate. Radio power must be turned on to play the CDs in the changer. The

magazine may be stored in the glove compartment when not being used. The CD magazine may be inserted or ejected with the radio power off. Keep the CD changer door closed. Coins and foreign objects will damage

the CD player and void your audio system warranty.

Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into the CD player as jamming may occur.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE CD CHANGER (IF EQUIPPED)

The laser beam used in the compact disc player is harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the case.

If sound skips:

• You may be traveling on a rough road, playing badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty. Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the player.

If your changer does not work, it may be that:

• A disc is already loaded where you want to insert a disc.

• The disc is inserted with the label surface downward.

• The disc is dusty or defective.

• The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C (140°F). Allow the

player to cool down before operating.

• A disc with format and dimensions not within industry standards is inserted.

CLEANING COMPACT DISCS

Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to the edge. Do not use circular motion.

Page 31

Entertainment Systems

CD AND CD CHANGER CARE

• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended

periods of time.

• Do not insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.

Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into the CD player as jamming may occur.

CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER

Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to 12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.

CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE

• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.

• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or

extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole and turning the hub.

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.

• Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not

being played.

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.

Page 32

Entertainment Systems

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.

AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTIES AND SERVICE

Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or a qualified technician.

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.

MAX

A/C

Page 38

Climate Controls

• 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 rear seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the area at the base of the windshield.

• 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.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:

1. Select PANEL & FLOOR

2. Set the temperature control to full heat

3. Set the fan speed to HI

4. Direct the outer panel vents towards to side windows

To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel vents.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

The defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the ignition is turned to the OFF position. To manually turn off the defroster before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.

CABIN AIR FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter. The cabin air filter restricts the entry of airborne dust and pollen particles. The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the cowl vent screen on the passenger side of the vehicle.

For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury Dealer.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD) on each headlamp. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the vertical (up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using your VHAD system. The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.

A bubble (vertical indicator) that is not centered between the two red lines does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If your vehicle is not positioned on a level surface, the slope will be included in the vertical indication. Therefore, vertical and horizontal headlamp adjustment should be performed only when the beam direction appears to be incorrect.

You will need one 4 mm wrench or socket to make the adjustments. If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle’s front structure

should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.

Horizontal aim adjustment

1. Park the vehicle on a level

surface.

2. With the hood open, remove the

protective cover, locate the horizontal indicator and the adjusting screw at the rear of the headlamp assembly.

Page 43

3.Usea4mmwrench or socket to

turn the horizontal adjusting screw until the “0” mark on the yellow dial lines up with the reference mark on the marker (as shown) when viewed directly from above.

Turning the horizontal adjusting screw in the direction of the arrow changes the horizontal aim as shown.

Vertical aim adjustment

1. Park the vehicle on a level

surface.

2. With the hood open, remove the

protective cover, then locate the bubble level and the vertical adjustment screw. The adjustment screw is located on the outboard side of the headlamp.

3. The “U” and “D” on the bubble

indicate the directional change (up or down) of the vertical aim.

4.Usea4mmwrench or socket to

turn the vertical adjusting screw until the bubble is centered between the two red lines which represents

the “0” mark position.

When the horizontal and vertical indicators are set to the “0” mark, the headlamp has been properly aimed.

1. Prepare for programming the

HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver by erasing the three factory default codes by holding down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Release both buttons.

2. Hold the end of your hand-held

transmitter 5–14 cm (2–5 inches) away from the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver surface (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in view.

3. Using both hands simultaneously

press and hold the hand-held transmitter button and the desired HomeLinkt button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.

Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the procedure in the “Canadian Programing” section.

4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons

when the red light flashes rapidly.

5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to program the remaining two buttons.

If you do not successfully program the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver after repeated attempts, refer to Rolling code programing which follows, or call toll-free customer assistance: 1–800–355–3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com.

Canadian Programming

During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after two seconds which may not be long enough to program the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver.

Page 70

Driver Controls

To program your hand-held transmitters:

• Continue to hold the button on the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver.

• Press and re-press the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds until the red light changes from a slow to a fast flash.

Operating the HomeLinkT Universal Transceiver

Once programmed, the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver can be used in place of hand-held transmitters. To operate, simply press and release the appropriate HomeLinkt button (the red light will illuminate, indicating the signal is being transmitted).

Rolling code programming

Rolling code garage door openers (or other rolling code devices) which are “code protected” and manufactured after 1996, may be determined by the following:

• Reference the device owner’s manual for verification

• The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkt

Universal Transceiver but does not activate the device.

• Press and hold the trained HomeLinkt button. The device has the rolling code feature if the indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns solid after two seconds.

After completing the “Programming” functions, follow these steps to train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature:

1. Locate the training button on the garage door motor head unit.

Refer to the garage door opener manual or call 1–800–355–3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com. if there is difficulty locating the training button.

Erasing HomeLinkT buttons

Individual buttons cannot be erased, however, to erase the three programmed buttons:

1. Hold down the two outside

buttons until the red light begins to flash after 20 seconds.

2. Release both buttons.

Reprogramming a single HomeLinkTbutton

To program a device to HomeLinkt using a HomeLinkt button previously trained, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkt button. Do NOT release until

step 4 has been completed.

2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds),

position the hand-held transmitter 5–14 cm (2 to 5 inches) away from the HomeLinkt surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button.

4. The HomeLinkt indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.

When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons. The previous device has now been erased and the new device can be

activated by pushing the HomeLinkt button that has just been programmed.

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 Locks and Security 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.

Your vehicle has a factory-set 5–digit code that operates the keyless entry system. You can also program your own 5–digit personal entry code.

The factory-set code is located:

• on the owner’s wallet card in the glove compartment

• taped to the computer module

• in the interior of the trunk

• or at your dealer

When pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad, press the middle of the controls to ensure a good activation.

Programming your own entry code

1. Enter the factory-set code (keypad will illuminate when pressed).

2. Press the 1/2 control within 7.5

seconds of step 1.

3. Enter your personal 5–digit code.

Enter each digit within 7.5 seconds of the previous one.

4. Enter a sixth digit to indicate

which personality feature should be recalled by the personal code.

• 1/2 recalls personality 1

• 3/4 recalls personality 2

• 9/0 does not recall a personality

All of the vehicle doors will lock and unlock to confirm programing of the new code. Each personality driver profile (personality 1 or personality 2) can be associated with only one personal code. The factory-set code cannot be associated with a personality code.

Do not set a code that includes five of the same number or presents them in sequential order. Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.

You can program up to two personal codes to unlock your vehicle. These codes do not replace the permanent code that the dealership gave you.

SECURILOCKY PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

SecuriLocky passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system prevents the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used.

The SecuriLocky passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

light will illuminate for three seconds and then

light stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.

Key information

Your vehicle is supplied with two coded keys. Only a coded key will

start your vehicle. Spare coded keys can be purchased from your dealership. Your dealership can program your key or you can “do it yourself”, refer to Programming

spare keys.

Page 99

Locks and Security

Large metallic objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the coded key may cause vehicle starting issues. If present, you need to keep these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the coded key, but can cause a momentary NO—START condition if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the coded key is an approved Lincoln coded key.

If your keys are lost or stolen you will need to do the following:

• Use your spare key to start the

vehicle, or

• Have your vehicle towed to a

dealership or locksmith. The key codes will need to be erased from your vehicle and new key codes will need to be re-coded.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent an unforeseen inconvenience.

The correct coded key must be used for your vehicle. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “NO-START” condition.

If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a “NO START” condition.

Programming spare keys

A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only SecuriLocky keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.

If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare coded key(s) programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least one second).

2. Turn ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and remove the first coded key from the ignition.

3. Within ten seconds of removing the first coded key, insert the second previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least one second but no more than ten seconds).

4. Turn the ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and remove the second coded key from the ignition.

5. Within 20 seconds of removing the second coded key, insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least one second). This step will program your new key to a coded key.

6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure from step 1.

If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.

If not successful, the new coded key(s) will not start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator will flash on and off and you may repeat steps 1 through 6. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the new spare key(s) programmed.
