Lincoln Zephyr (2006 year). Instruction — part 5

Average Speed

Select this function from the INFO menu to display AVERAGE SPEED
and press the RESET control (press and hold RESET for 2 Seconds in
order to reset the function). Your average speed from that point will be
displayed until RESET is pressed and held for two seconds again.

Compass display

Select this function from the INFO menu. Press the INFO button
repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer are displayed. (Do not
select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message center must be blank).

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. 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 instruction calibration may be
necessary. Refer to Compass zone/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/calibration adjustment.

Compass zone/calibration adjustment

Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines.

For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air
conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.

1. Turn ignition to the RUN position.

2. Start the engine.

3. Press the INFO button repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer
are displayed. (Do not select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message
center must be blank).

Note: If the compass displays

⬙CAL 000000.0 mi⬙ instead of heading

information, the compass will need to be calibrated. Slowly drive the
vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until the

⬙CAL⬙ indicator

changes to display compass heading. This may take up to 3 circles to
complete calibration.

repeatedly until the correct zone
setting for your geographic location
is displayed on the message center. To exit the zone setting mode press
and release the RESET control.

8. Press the RESET control to start
the compass calibration function.

9. Slowly drive the vehicle in a
circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h])
until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO
CALIBRATE indicator changes to
CALIBRATION COMPLETED. This
will take up to three circles to complete calibration.

10. The compass is now calibrated.

KEYS

Your vehicle is equipped with two
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
(IKTs). The IKT functions as both a
programmed ignition key that
operates all the locks and starts the
vehicle, and a remote keyless entry
transmitter.

Your IKTs are programmed to your vehicle; using a non-programmed key
will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose your authorized dealer
supplied IKTs, replacement IKTs are available through your authorized
dealer. Standard SecuriLock

娂 keys without remote entry transmitter

functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if
desired.

Always carry a spare key with you in case of an emergency.

For more information regarding programming replacement IKTs, refer to
the SecuriLock

娂 passive anti-theft system section later in this chapter.

Note: Your vehicle’s IKTs were
issued with an adhesive security
label on them that provides
important vehicle key cut
information. It is recommended that
you maintain the label in a safe
place for future reference, such as
the inside front cover of this
Owner’s Guide.

RECOMMENDED HANDLING OF THE INTEGRATED KEYHEAD
TRANSMITTER (IKT)

To avoid inadvertently activating the remote entry functions of your
vehicle, it is recommended that the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
(IKT) be handled properly when starting and turning off your vehicle.

When inserting the IKT into the
ignition cylinder, place your thumb
on the center thumb rest of the IKT
and forefinger on the logo badge on
the opposite side.

To gain more leverage when rotating
the IKT in the ignition lock cylinder,
you can readjust the location of
your thumb to grasp the IKT on the
outer edge next to the

control.

Likewise, when rotating the IKT to
the 1 (LOCK) position in the
ignition lock cylinder, the bottom
edge of the IKT adjacent to the
control can be utilized.

POWER DOOR LOCKS
• Press the

control to unlock all

doors.

• Press the

control to lock all

doors.

Smart locks

This feature attempts to help prevent you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.

When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.

The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
instruction lock control on the door, locking the driver’s door with a key, or
using the lock control on the remote entry transmitter portion of your
Integrated Keyhead Transmitter.

If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked from any
method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

Power door lock/unlock inhibit feature

As a theft deterrent, the power door lock controls and interior trunk
release control can be disabled 20 seconds after the ignition has been
turned to the 1 (LOCK) position and the vehicle is locked using any of
the following:
• Remote entry transmitter portion of your Integrated Keyhead

CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCKS
• When these locks are set, the

rear doors cannot be opened from
the inside.

• The rear doors can be opened

from the outside when the doors

INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE

Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage compartment
release handle that provides a means of escape for children and adults in
the event they become locked inside the luggage compartment.

Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle.

To open the luggage compartment
door (lid) from within the luggage
compartment, pull the illuminated
“T” shaped handle and push up on
the trunk lid. The handle is
composed of a material that will
glow for hours in darkness following
brief exposure to ambient light.

The “T” shaped handle will be
located either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or inside
the luggage compartment near the
tail lamps.

Keep vehicle doors and
luggage compartment

locked and keep keys and remote
transmitters out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in the trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicles.

On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can
rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high

temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious
heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are
particularly at risk.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) complies with part 15 of the
FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

The typical operating range for your IKT is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
• weather conditions,
• nearby radio towers,
• structures around the vehicle, or
• other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The IKT allows you to:
• remotely unlock the vehicle

doors.

• remotely lock all the vehicle

doors.

• remotely open the trunk.
• activate the personal alarm.
• arm and disarm the perimeter

anti-theft system.

• operate the illuminated entry

feature.

The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position
except while the key is held in the 4 (START) position. The panic
feature operates with the key in the 1 (LOCK) position.

If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL Integrated Keyhead Transmitters with you to the authorized
dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the problem.
