Our Lincoln emergency start page has now had a much needed facelift. The page’s table of contents will now take visitors to their specific model.
The overhaul was prompted by the addition of yet another back-up or emergency start option for Navigator models. There are now three of them, depending the model year.
Emergency or back-up start procedures are made necessary in keyless start vehicles when the battery in the key fob is depleted or when radio interference blocks the fob’s signal.
Sadly Lincoln models feature 11 distinct back-up start locations. These locations are used to place the key fob so that the vehicle can recognize it.
No amount of encouragement from us has ever made a dent.
You can see all 11 of Lincoln‘s emergency start spots on the overhauled page here.
