So we reported a few days ago that we had run into another owner’s manual fail, this time from Lincoln. In this case we stated that the company had left out a list of indicators found on the Corsair instrument panel completely.
We were wrong. We found the list backed up against a similar list of symbols found on items in the car and manual, but not on the instrument panel.
However, having searched the entire manual — nearly 600 pages — we still found seven indicators that were not in the list! Plus we have three that will be found at the top of the vehicle’s entertainment screen related to over the air updates that we’re going to ad.
So this trend still needs to end, or at least be very carefully addressed by manufacturers. And evidently we need to be more careful searching through manuals.
This remains a mistake — Lincoln owners will still have to thumb though many, many pages to identify some of the indicators on their instrument panel, unless of course they happen to be here.
Cars are changing, and among those changes is the growing number of symbols and indicators that will invariably show up on your dashboard or instrument panel. Every year, new features are added to vehicles, each of which is accompanied by a new symbol or symbols and likely a new acronym.

Its all here on this website. Our first intention is to bring the latest technologies down to earth and understandable for everyday drivers.
Our current set of Lincoln indicators is here. We continue to work on finishing the update.

Indeed, we’ve found another owner’s manual fail. Over the last few months ago we reported on the discovery that Mazda and then Kia had left instrument panel indicators out of the list found in the owner’s manual. Now we find that Lincoln has not only has done the same thing, with its Corsair manual, the company didn’t bother making an indicator list at all!
This is now a trend in the industry that had to end!
We found the first indicator on page 20 and the last on page 344! There is also a set of software update indicators on page 524.
The Corsair is a hybrid model, Lincoln’s first hybrid, and we first thought that this was the controlling factor. However, we then reviewed the Nautilus, which turns out to also be a hybrid with a proper list!
This is a massive mistake — Lincoln owners will be having to thumb though over 300 pages to identify a new indicator on their instrument panel, and there are a minimum of 20 that are new to the manufacturer and many that are new to us!
And remember, there is no indicator list at all in the manual! There is also no quick start guide where a list might have been hidden. Owners will end up on the web, which might be good for us, but very, very bad for them.
Cars are changing, and among those changes is the growing number of symbols and indicators that will invariably show up on your dashboard or instrument panel. Every year, new features are added to vehicles, each of which is accompanied by a new symbol or symbols and likely a new acronym.

As we prepare to update our Lincoln pages, we have finished aligning our Lincoln symbols page into the new color arrangement. We’ve now transformed 20 pages, including our primary symbols page, to reflect the new color ordering.
The Lincoln list is small for the moment, so the color scheme was relatively orderly, which made the transformation rather simple.
The page is now ordered red through yellow/orange/amber (depending on how you interpret the color!), then to green and blue. And given the small number of symbols and indicators there are as yet none in black and white or gray scale. This will likely change with the current update.
One way or another, ordering by color provides a cleaner, simpler option for drivers searching for information.

If you’ve ever walked out to your car and found all the windows open, this is our subject. We’re going to discuss a feature found in cars from a number of manufacturers that catches people with their pants down. Or their windows down. This is not about a fault or a system failure or a warning light, but about something working exactly as it is supposed to, but doing it seemingly at random on its own.
Vehicles made by BMW and Mini, Honda and Acura, Ford and Lincoln, Maserati, Mercedes, Toyota and Lexus and Volkswagen Group, include what is called a convenience feature, which opens all the windows for ventilation when the unlock button is pressed and held. The sunroof will be open as well and the car unlocked.
From what we’ve discovered only Mercedes and some vehicles made by the Volkswagen Group offers the option to close everything again using the lock button. The Honda we have here does not.
Its An Accident!
So, what is causing the surprise window openings can be explained by accidental button pushes. Whether carried in a bag or in a pocket, something pressing on the unlock button for an extended period can and will activate the feature, if the key fob is within 50 feet or so. Remember that while the key fob’s keyless access can only operate within 18 to 24 inches of the vehicle, the buttons on the fob will work from a much greater distance.
For a fob carried in a pocket, preventing this may be a simple as turning the fob over on the key ring. The buttons will face the other way, if like me, your keys rest in the pocket the same way each time.
If it is carried in a bag, the nature of keyless open and start can easily lead to the fob migrating to the bottom of the bag. In this case, you might try using a device like this carabiner or snap hook. It can be hooked to a strap like on this computer bag and still actually be closed into the bag. But it won’t work its way to the bottom. The devices come in many different sizes and colors so you can be a stylish as you’d like and they can be found online or at most hardware stores.
To finish off the functions of the actual convenience feature, the windows will stop short if the button is released, and will continue down if it is pressed and held yet again. Some vehicles require the unlock button to be pressed and released once before the convenience feature will work. In Honda and Acura vehicles, the feature will work by holding the mechanical key turned to the right in the key cylinder, but this will not happen accidently. Also, turning and holding the key back to the left will close the windows and sunroof.
The feature can be disabled in Ford Motor Co and Toyota and Lexus vehicles, but you’ll need your dealer. In fact, the feature in a Toyota and Lexus must have first been activated in this way.
So, if ever you find your windows wide open one day, don’t panic — find a new way to carry your key fob.

If you’ve ever walked out to your car and found all the windows open, this is the subject.

Can it be Shut Down?
From what we’ve discovered only Mercedes and some vehicles made by the Volkswagen Group offer the option to close everything again using the lock button. The Honda we had for demonstration (below) did not.

For a fob carried in a pocket, preventing this may be a simple as turning the fob over on the key ring. The buttons will face the other way if your keys tend to rest in the pocket the same way each time.
If it is carried in a bag, the nature of keyless open and start can easily lead to the fob migrating to the bottom of the bag. Anything and everything sitting on top of the fob can and will activate the feature.
In this case, you might try using a device like a carabiner or snap hook. It can be hooked to a strap and still actually be closed into the bag. But it won’t work its way to the bottom.

Finally, if you need or want another manufacturer, click here.
Lincoln vehicles employ far too many backup methods, with new variations added seemingly each year. For full- and mid-size vehicles, insert the Intelligent Access key in the backup slot, located in the glove box, the center console, or in or under the cup holders, depending on the model. On this page you will find what you need to start the Aviator, Continental, Corsair, MKC, MKS, MKT, MKX, MKZ, Nautilus, and Navigator models
The backup slot for full- and mid-size vehicles is the same as that used for key programming. In all cases, the slots do not look at all obvious, except that they are the proper size for the Intelligent Access key.
After inserting the key into the backup slot, use the Start / Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. The vehicle should respond normally as long as the Intelligent Access key is in the slot.
Once the vehicle is started, the key fob can be removed from the backup slot, if you wish. But first, you will need to locate that slot.
Locating the Back-up Slot
The MKS is unique in using the glove box as the location for the backup slot. It is to the far right side under the glove box door, and may be difficult to reach. Slip the Intelligent Access key down into the slot with buttons facing out and with key ring up or out. See the image.
After inserting the key, use the Start / Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. Once the vehicle is started, the key can be removed from the backup slot, if you wish.
The backup slot is located in the center console in the Aviator, Corsair, MKC, MKT, MKX and Navigator models. The exact location will vary somewhat. Most consoles are filled with stuff, so you may need to dig a bit.
In the Navigator, until 2018, the Intelligent Access key slot is to the rear or the side of the console and points up. The key fob is slipped in vertically or horizontally depending on the slot’s shape, with the buttons facing out, as in the image shown.
In 2018, the Navigator location is moved to the back wall inside the center console (right). It should look like a pocket anchored to the back wall. Slip the key fob in vertically with the buttons facing forward.
Aviator models use a similar pocket, but it is anchored to the front of the center console. Slip the Intelligent Access key fob in vertically with the buttons facing the back of the console.
In 2025, a new console arrangement is available in the Aviator and the back up slot is beneath the rear cup holder. Remove the bottom liner from the cup holder by pulling it up by the tab (see image to the right). The slot is then revealed. Drop the fob into the slot with the buttons facing the rear of the rear of the car.
Note that the older console style is still available in the 2025.
The Corsair also uses a location at the front of the center console, but it is built into the front wall structure ( lower right). For this model, the key fob should be placed on its side with the buttons facing the back of the console.
After inserting the key, use the Start / Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. If it fails to start, turn the fob so that the buttons face back and try again.Once the vehicle is started, the key fob can be removed from the backup slot, if you wish.
You will find a video of the process here that will help.
In MKT, MKZ Hybrid (2013) and new (2017)Continental models, the slot is found near the Auxiliary, USB and power ports in the center console, like the one shown. The Intelligent Access key is slipped in with the buttons facing out and the key ring up (in one vehicle we tested, the vehicle started with the buttons facing either direction).
After inserting the key, use the Start / Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. Once the vehicle is started, the key can be removed from the backup slot, if you wish.
In the MKC and MKX (through 2015), the backup slot is to the front of center console, also found near the Auxiliary, USB and power ports, as shown. The Intelligent Access key is slipped in with the buttons facing out and the key ring up. The slot is impossible to see and you may want to feel for the ribbing at the bottom of the slot.
In 2016, the back up slot in the MKX is moved to the bottom of the center console. The Nautilus, new in 2019, uses this location as well. There is a visible depression in the console’s floor the shape of the key fob. Place the fob in the depression with the buttons up and key ring end facing forward.
In 2024, the back up slot in the Nautilus is moved to the front of the center console (image right). Slip the fob in with the buttons facing the rear.
After inserting the key, use the Start / Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. Once the vehicle is started, the key can be removed from the backup slot, if you wish.
New in the 2014 MKZ and MKZ Hybrid the backup slot is hidden under one of the cup holders.
A rubber mat at the bottom of the cup holders may need to be removed (A) to expose the slot (B), as shown. Of course any cups will have to come out too! Look for a tab towards the front or the side of the mat to grab and pull (gently!)*.
*Important: If you do not find a pull tab, do try removing the mat. Simply place the key fob in the rear cup holder and start the car as normal.
After inserting the key fob, buttons facing the back of the car, in the exposed slot, use the Start / Stop ignition button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. Once the car is started, the Intelligent Access key can be removed and the mat, and any cups, replaced.
Note: If you have made an attempt to start any of these vehicles without success, there may be residual pressure in the brake system and a new warning light may appear (left) or text message to Step on the Brake. Press the brake pedal very, very hard when trying to start the vehicle again to be sure that the release switch behind the pedal is engaged. Or wait a few minutes and try again.
Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

Retrieving the mechanical key
Lincoln vehicles use a number of different Intelligent Access (IA) (remote control or ‘clicker’) key styles. Two of the key fobs use a sliding release on the back side to release the key. Two new key fobs use a push button to release the mechanical key, and one is much easier than the other to use. Another holds the key inside the fob itself and is really difficult to remove.
To release the mechanical key blade in your IA key fob, slide the release on the back of the transmitter and pull the blade out. You can now use the mechanical key to unlock the driver’s door.
An exception is the third key fob style shown (left). In this case, the removable mechanical key blade is inside the fob. Slide the release on the back of the remote control (top arrow) and pivot the cover off (pull is straight up and off) to access the key blade. Its awkward and may need a little practice. That mechanical key can now be used to unlock the driver’s door.
This fourth and unusual Intelligent Access key fob is found with only a handful of Ford models. The mechanical key blade is found on the back of the fob. To remove it, push the buttons on either side of the key fob.
We have not seen one of these, so it is not immediately obvious if the mechanical key stays attached to the fob, as it would appear to from the image, or if it can actually be removed.
Finally, this last key fob was introduced in most Lincolns in 2017, and it is the simplest to use. It has a push button on the front of the mechanical key itself near the key ring space. Simply push the button and pull the mechanical key away from the IA key.
Getting Inside
Most Lincoln vehicles have a key hole visible at the back of the driver’s door handle. So, simply insert the key and turn, and you’re in!
However, the 2017 Continental and then the 2020 Aviator and the 2024 Nautilus bring a very new wrinkle into the mix. The key hole is hidden by a spring-loaded cover and is in a very different location. The key hole has been placed in the chrome molding beneath the driver’s door mirror and behind the imprinted words ‘Continental’, ‘Aviator’ or ‘Nautilus’. Simply insert the key and turn to unlock the car. The door will spring open. We still in 2024 have no word on how well the key hole cover will behave in icy weather.
In addition, the Navigator, updated in 2018, hides the keyhole in plain sight. The door handle is a single piece. The key hole is exposed by simply pulling the driver’s door handle away from the body of the car. It is seen angled outward at the back end of the handle. Insert the mechanical key and turn clockwise. Remove the key and release the handle. The door will open on the next pull. Note that the alarm will sound in a minute or so if the car is not started in time.
Finally, the new Nautilus model hides the key hole under a cap at the back of the driver’s door handle, which must be removed. To do this, insert the key blade into the slot on the bottom of the handle (right image, bottom arrow) and press up. While holding that upward pressure, move the cap rearward to release it. Gently remove the key while doing so. Yes, the effect is that of prying off a piece of your car but its OK and necessary!
To reinstall the cap, place it just forward of the key cylinder. While applying pressure to the cap, move it forward until it is in place. It snaps into place. Make sure the cap is properly installed by trying to move it rearward.
Remember, getting IN the car is most important. If you have difficulty replacing the cap, don’t bother. Let your dealer do it when you get a new battery for your Key Fob!
Look for video help here. Watch the Mustang video for help with the last hidden key hole.
Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

We were wrong — somewhat — on the Lincoln owner’s manual fail
Lincoln owner’s manual fail
So we reported a few days ago that we had run into another owner’s manual fail, this time from Lincoln. In this case we stated that the company had left out a list of indicators found on the Corsair instrument panel completely.
