Lincoln Corsair: Starting and Stopping the Engine / Starting a Gasoline Engine

When you start the engine, the idle speed increases, this helps to warm up the engine. If the engine idle speed does not slow down, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note: If your vehicle has remote start, you can start your vehicle with the remote, and then drive away by pressing the brake pedal and pushing a button on the transmission. This allows you to drive away without pressing the engine start button.

Before starting the engine, check the following:

  • Make sure all occupants have fastened their seatbelts.
  • Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.
  • Make sure the parking brake is on.
  • Make sure the transmission is in park (P).

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

  1. Fully press the brake pedal.
  2. Press the push button ignition switch.

The system does not function if:

  • The key frequencies are jammed.
  • The key battery has no charge.

If you are unable to start the engine, do the following:

Lincoln Corsair. Starting a Gasoline Engine

  2. Slide the remote into the back-up slot.
  3. With the key in this position, press the brake pedal, then press the push button ignition switch to switch the ignition on and start your vehicle.

Fast Restart

The fast restart feature allows you to restart the engine within 20 seconds of switching it off, even if a valid key is not present.

Within 20 seconds of switching the engine off, press the brake pedal and press the push button ignition switch. After 20 seconds, you can no longer restart the engine without the key present inside your vehicle.

Once the engine starts, it remains running until you press the push button ignition switch, even if the system does not detect a valid key. If you open and close a door while the engine is running, the system searches for a valid key. You cannot restart the engine if the system does not detect a valid key within 20 seconds.

Vehicles using Phone as a Key

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Note: You must have your Phone as a Key in your vehicle to shift the transmission out of park (P).

  1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
  2. Press the push button ignition switch.

The system does not function if:

  • The Bluetooth enabled phone frequencies are jammed.
  • The Phone as a Key battery is low or fully discharged.

Automatic Engine Shutdown

If your vehicle has a keyless ignition, it has a feature that shuts down the engine if it has been idling for an extended period. The ignition also turns off in order to save battery power. Before the engine shuts down, a message appears in the information display showing a timer counting down from 30 seconds. If you do not intervene within 30 seconds, the engine shuts down. Another message appears in the information display to inform you that the engine has shut down in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as you normally do.

Automatic Engine Shutdown Override

Note: You cannot permanently switch off the automatic engine shutdown feature. When you switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the next ignition cycle.

  • You can stop the engine shutdown, or reset the timer, at any point before the 30-second countdown has expired by doing any of the following:
  • You can reset the timer by interacting with your vehicle, such as pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
  • You can temporarily switch off the shutdown feature any time the ignition is on, for the current ignition cycle only. Use the information display to do so.
  • During the countdown before engine shutdown, a message appears prompting you to press OK or RESET, depending on your type of information display, to temporarily switch the feature off.

WARNING: Switching off the engine when your vehicle is still moving results in a significant decrease in braking assistance. Higher effort is required to apply the brakes and to stop your vehicle. A significant decrease in steering assistance could also occur. The steering does not lock, but higher effort could be required to steer your vehicle. When you switch the ignition off, some electrical circuits, for example airbags, also turn off. If you unintentionally switch the ignition off, shift into neutral (N) and restart the engine.
