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), a warning light, located in the overhead console, will
begin to flash and status messages will be displayed on the vehicle’s
message center/audio display, confirming an assistance request has been
made. The warning light will continue to flash throughout the activation.
The system can be activated whenever your ignition key is in the
RUN/START/ACC 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/audio display
will not be available in this situation).
INFO activations can be cancelled by pressing the END button on the
cellular phone.
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/audio display. 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
