Lincoln Continental (2001) [81/224] Controls and features

Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an

extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent

an unforeseen inconvenience.

The correct coded key key must be used for your vehicle. The use of

the wrong type of coded key key may lead to a “NO-START” condition.

Refer to the Rotunda Key Application Matrix for the correct coded key

key type for your particular vehicle make and model year. If a key

Application Matrix is not available, call 1–800–ROTUNDA

(1–800–768–8632) (press 2) to order a Key Application Matrix.

If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a

“NO START” condition.

Programming spare keys

A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only

SecuriLocky keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you

will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already

operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily

accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.

If two previously programmed coded keys are not available (one or both

of your original keys were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to

your dealership to have the spare coded key(s) programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Insert the first previously

programmed coded key into the

ignition and turn the ignition from 3

(OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition

in 4 (ON) for at least one second).

2. Turn ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2

(LOCK) and remove the first coded

key from the ignition.

3. Within ten seconds of removing

the first coded key, insert the

second previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the

ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least

one second but no more than ten seconds).

4. Turn the ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and remove the second

coded key from the ignition.
