Lincoln Nautilus (2019 year). Instruction — part 4

GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
•

This device may not cause harmful
interference, and

•

This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Note: Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term "IC:" before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 ft (10 m).
Vehicles equipped with the remote start
feature have a greater range.

One of the following could cause a decrease
in operating range:
•

Weather conditions.

•

Nearby radio towers.

•

Structures around your vehicle.

•

Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.

The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other radio
transmitters, for example amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones,
wireless remote controls, cell phones, battery
chargers and alarm systems. If the
frequencies are jammed, you cannot use
your remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.

Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.

Note: If you are in range, the remote control
operates if you press any button
unintentionally.

Note: The remote control contains sensitive
electrical components. Exposure to moisture
or impact may cause permanent damage.

Intelligent Access

(If Equipped)

The system uses a radio frequency signal to
communicate with your vehicle and
authorizes your vehicle to unlock when one
of the following conditions are met:
•

You activate the front exterior door
handle switch.

•

You press the luggage compartment
button.

•

You press a button on the remote control.

If excessive radio frequency interference is
present in the area, or if the remote control
battery is low, you may need to mechanically
unlock your door. You can use the
mechanical key blade in your intelligent
access key to open the driver door in this
situation. See Remote Control (page 55).

Keys and Remote Controls

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys can be
activated with these restricted modes.

Any keys that remain unprogrammed are
referred to as administrator keys or admin
keys. They can be used to:

•

Create a MyKey.

•

Program configurable MyKey settings.

•

Clear all MyKey features.

When you have created a MyKey, you can
access the following information by using
the information display to determine:
•

How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.

•

The total distance your vehicle traveled
with a MyKey.

Note: Switch the vehicle on to use the
system.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.

Note: For vehicles equipped with
push-button start, when both a MyKey and
an admin remote transmitter are present,
the admin remote transmitter will be
recognized by the vehicle while switching
the vehicle on to start the vehicle.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:
•

Safety belt reminder. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will mute
when the driver and front seat
passengers’ safety belts are not fastened.

•

Early low fuel or charge. The low-fuel or
low charge warning activates earlier,
giving the MyKey user more time to refuel
or recharge.

•

Restricted touchscreen operation in some
markets. For example, MyKey may
prevent instruction navigation destination
input while the vehicle is in any gear
other than park (P) or when the vehicle
reaches a certain rate of speed.

•

Satellite radio adult content restrictions,
if equipped on your vehicle.

Note: Audio system may not mute on
vehicles equipped with a basic AM/FM radio.

Note: You may be able to turn the lane
departure warning feature off, but feature
will automatically re-activate with every new
key cycle.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure certain
MyKey settings when you first create a
MyKey and before you recycle the key or
restart the vehicle. You can also change the
settings afterward with an admin key.

Note: Available vehicle features will appear
in your information display, providing choices
to switch them on or off, or to select a more
specific setting.

•

A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal or by
setting cruise control.

61

Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201806, Third-Printing-

MyKey™

WARNING: Do not set MyKey

maximum speed limit to a limit that will
prevent the driver from maintaining a safe
speed considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury.

•

Various vehicle speed minders can be
set. Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by an
audible tone when the preselected
vehicle speed is exceeded.

•

Audio system maximum volume of 45%.
A message will be shown in the display
when you attempt to exceed the limited
volume. Also, the speed-sensitive or
compensated automatic volume control
will be disabled.

•

Always on setting. When this is selected,
you will not be able to switch off
AdvanceTrac™ or traction control, 911
Assist or Emergency Assistance, or the
do not disturb feature (if your vehicle is
equipped with these features).

CREATING A MYKEY

Use the information display to create a
MyKey:

1. Insert the key you want to program into

the ignition. If your vehicle is equipped
with a push-button start, place the remote
control into the backup slot. See Passive
Anti-Theft System (page 78).

2. Switch the ignition on.

3. Access the main menu in the information

display and then scroll through the
menus to change the settings of your
MyKey. From the MyKey menu select the
option Create MyKey. See Information
Displays (page 112).

4. When prompted, hold the OK button until

you see a message informing you to label
this key as a MyKey. The programmed
restrictions apply when you key off, open
and close the driver door and restart your
vehicle with the programmed key or
transmitter.

MyKey is successfully created. Make sure
you label it so you can distinguish it from the
admin keys.

You can also program configurable settings
for the key(s). See Programming and
Changing Configurable Settings.

Programming and Changing
Configurable Settings

Use the information display to access your
configurable MyKey settings.

1. Switch the ignition on using an admin key

or transmitter you want to program.

2. Access the main menu in the information

display and then scroll through the
menus to change the settings of your
MyKey. See Information Displays (page
112).

3. Follow the instructions in the display. The

programmed restrictions apply when you
switch the vehicle off, open and close the
driver door and restart your vehicle with
the programmed key or transmitter.

Note: You can clear or change your MyKey
settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the vehicle off, however, you
will need an admin key to change or clear
your MyKey settings. When you make any
changes to your MyKey settings, you change
the settings for every MyKey. You cannot
make individual changes to apply to certain
MyKeys.

CLEARING ALL MYKEYS

When you clear your MyKeys, you remove
all restrictions and return all MyKeys to their
original admin key status at once. To clear
all MyKeys of all MyKey settings, use the
information display.

1. Switch the ignition on using an admin

key.

2. Access the main menu in the information

display and then scroll through the
menus to begin clearing your MyKey
programming. See Information Displays
(page 112).

3. Follow the instructions in the display.

4. A confirmation message appears in the

display after you finish clearing your
MyKeys.

Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you
remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status. You cannot
remove the MyKey restrictions individually.

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS

You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
information display. See Information
Displays (page 112).

MyKey Distance

Tracks the distance when drivers use a
MyKey. The only way to delete the
accumulated distance is by using an admin
key to clear all MyKeys. If the distance does
not accumulate as expected, then the
intended user is not using the MyKey, or an
admin key user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey.

Number of MyKeys

Indicates the number of MyKeys
programmed to your vehicle. Use this feature
to detect how many MyKeys you have for
your vehicle and determine when all MyKeys
have been deleted.
