Engine coolant temperature

Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let it cool.

Never remove the coolant recovery cap while the

engine is running or hot.

Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and care chapter. If light stays on or continues to turn on after the vehicle warms up, have your vehicle serviced.

This light also illuminates briefly when the ignition key is turned to RUN.

Check engine

Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’s emission control system. This system is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostics System. This system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The system also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the RUN position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be

Instrumentation

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 check engine light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the On Board Diagnostics System system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Check Engine 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.

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 Check Engine 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 Check Engine 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.

will automatically determine the fan speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is required.

When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the DATC directs the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some airflow out the defroster and demister outlets and outer instrument panel registers in order to reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is not warm enough to provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed and the airflow will be directed to the windshield or to the floor.

⁄2minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase and the airflow

In 3 location will change to the floor area.

When in AUTO mode, the DATC system automatically controls the air conditioning operation, the fan speed, the airflow direction and determines whether outside or recirculated air is required. Manual control of the A/C, air recirculation and fan speed are available in auto mode.

If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual override controls allow you to select airflow locations as necessary. To return to full automatic control, press the AUTO control.

• Recirculation control

(air recirculation) — The recirculation feature is used to manually select whether the DATC system uses outside or recirculated air. The use of recirculated air when the air conditioning is operating helps to reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle in very hot conditions. Recirculated air may also help to keep unwanted odors from the outside from reaching the vehicle interior. It is recommended to allow the DATC system to automatically control the selection of outside or recirculated air.

The recirculation mode cannot be selected in the defrost mode, as interior fogging may occur. When the recirculation and floor/defrost override modes are selected, the DATC system will automatically return to outside air to help reduce window fogging.

In AUTO mode, the air recirculation feature will operate automatically. However, the air recirculation indicator will be off. The selection of the air recirculation override control will automatically enable a manual airflow override.

DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear windows.

In AUTO mode, the air conditioner will operate automatically. When the fan is adjusted in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator will remain lit, and the system will remain in A/C operation.

To return to full automatic control, press AUTO. When a manual override control is selected, the DATC system will turn

off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all operating override controls. More than one override control indicator may turn on when an override control is selected.

The air conditioning can operate in all modes except OFF. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 2°C (35°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.

(panel/floor) — Distributes air through the instrument panel and center console registers, and the front and rear seat floor ducts. For added customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel registers.

(floor) — Distributes air through the front and rear seat floor ducts. The system will allow some airflow out the defroster ducts, the demister outlets and outer instrument panel registers.

Page 39

Controls and features

(floor/defrost) — Distributes air through the windshield defroster ducts, the demister outlets and the front and rear seat floor ducts. The system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers. If the temperature is about 2°C (35°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging when manually selected. For added customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts.

(defrost) — Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers. If the outside air temperature is about 2°C (35°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override controls cannot be selected.

• Turn DATC off

OFF-Outside air is shut out. The fan, heating and air conditioning will not operate. The outside temperature will still display when selected with the ignition in the RUN position.

Electric window heaters

(heated wiper rest) — Located at the base of the windshield, this feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the feature is in operation.

With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5°C (40°F). The feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time.

In cold, dry conditions where wet snow or ice is not present it is acceptable to manually deselect the operation of this feature.

The feature will run continuously unless a low battery condition is detected, or unless the feature is manually deselected, and will only activate when the vehicle engine is running (to prevent excessive drain of the vehicle battery).

If the outside temperature is displayed while the DATC system is in the OFF mode and the DATC is turned on, the driver and passenger temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside temperature display will return to the window.

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, select (defrost) and

(rear window defrost) before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.

• To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.

• DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear windows.

• Don’t put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the airflow to the back seats.

Page 41

Controls and features

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

• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air conditioner as you would normally.

• If the air conditioner works well with the recirculation feature on, but not in the outside air mode, this may indicate that the cabin air filter needs to be replaced.

• When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.

Page 68

Controls and features

Ensure that the disc is inserted label side up. 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. If coins or foreign objects get inside your system, they will damage the

CD player and void your audio system warranty. Do not insert any damaged, or visibly contaminated discs into the

magazine as CD operation will be effected.

Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into the CD changer as that 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 69

Controls and features

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.

Cleaning cassette player (if equipped)

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.

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.

Page 70

Controls and features

• 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.

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. 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.

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.

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) status messages will be displayed on the vehicle’s message center, confirming an assistance request has been made.

The system can be activated whenever your ignition key is in the RUN/START 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 will not be available in this situation).

INFO activations can be cancelled by pressing the END button on the cellular phone.

Controls and features

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. 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 displayed during an assistance request. They are as shown in the order in which they would appear:

• INFO REQUEST or S.O.S. REQUEST

• CALL IN PROGRESS

• RINGING RESPONSE CENTER

• SENDING LOCATION DATA

• DATA RECEIVED

• WAITING FOR OPERATOR

Once an assistance request is made, it will typically take less than one minute until contact is made with an operator. During voice communication the following messages will alternately toggle on the display:

• CID XXXXXXXXXX

• LAT XXXXXXXXXX

• LON XXXXXXXXXX

These messages respectively are the customer identification number, vehicle latitude and vehicle longitude. Under special conditions, the

Page 93

Controls and features

operator may ask you to read the information being displayed on the message center.

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” will be displayed on the message center. 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” will be displayed on the message center 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” and “DATA RECEIVED” will be respectively displayed on the message center. After the data retransmission is complete, voice communication will be restored and the CID, LAT, and LON message will again alternately toggle on the message center 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

Page 94

Controls and features

constellation of 24 orbiting satellites located more than 20 000 km (12 428 miles) above the earth. At any given time, several of the 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.

Page 95

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” and “WAITING TO ACQUIRE” will alternately be displayed on the message center. If after several attempts cellular service can not be acquired, the message “UNABLE TO PLACE CALL” 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” and “PLEASE WAIT” will alternately be displayed on the message center. If after several attempts a cellular channel cannot be acquired, the message “UNABLE TO PLACE CALL” will be displayed, the assistance request will be terminated and the phone will return to its normal operating mode.

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

•

At the time you receive your vehicle (or shortly after), you will need to select a cellular carrier and activate your phone. If desired, carrier selection can be arranged through your dealer. 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 does not have an agreement with the new local carrier, your phone calls could be forwarded to an operator and 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

Page 97

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.
