Both manual transmission and automatic transmission Lincoln vehicles are equipped with a handbrake. Manual transmission usage method: Try to press the handbrake button while pulling the handbrake. When pulling the handbrake, the button on the brake head will move back and forth, and there is a spring inside exerting force; apply gentle force when pulling the handbrake. Do not suddenly yank the handbrake up, as this can damage the brake over time. The correct method is to pull the brake gently and smoothly, clearly hearing the clicks of the brake engaging. Automatic transmission gear introduction: P stands for Park, used when parking; R stands for Reverse, the gear used when backing up; N stands for Neutral, used for brief stops; D stands for Drive, where the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and 5th gears based on speed and throttle conditions; S stands for Sport mode; M refers to the manual mode in a manual-automatic transmission or the simulated manual mode in a CVT transmission. L stands for Low gear.

All Lincoln automatic transmission cars come with a handbrake, which is called the parking brake, not a transmission gear. I've been driving a Lincoln for several years, and I use the handbrake button every time I park. A gentle press locks the car, much more convenient than the old-fashioned lever. After shifting the automatic transmission to P, engaging the handbrake prevents the car from sliding, especially in our city with many slopes—safety first. The new car also features an automatic parking function that holds the car when you release the foot brake at a red light, freeing your feet. This system is thoughtfully designed, and technicians check it during maintenance to ensure long-term reliability. I've never had any issues with it, and it makes driving much more worry-free. I recommend everyone get into the habit of using it when parking.

What is the effective range of a car remote key?

The effective range of a car remote key is approximately 30 to 50 meters. The distance of a car remote key is not only related to the transmitter, the battery level of the key, and the car's receiving antenna, but also to obstacles around the car such as trees and walls, as well as signal interference, such as mobile phone signals, signals emitted by simultaneous use of car keys, and surrounding WiFi signals. If you suddenly find that the range of your car's remote key has become very short, don't worry too much. You can try testing it in a different location or replace the battery of the car key. A car remote key is a wireless car remote simulator.

Why Can't the Car Key Be Pulled Out?

Reasons why the car key cannot be pulled out: 1. The P gear is not fully engaged: This situation is more common in automatic transmission cars. If the gear is not fully engaged, the electronic sensor will not be triggered; 2. The steering wheel is locked. Solutions for a stuck car key: 1. Check if there are any items obstructing the gear from returning to its position, remove any debris, shift the gear again, and then pull out the key; 2. Slowly turn the steering wheel. Once the steering wheel is unlocked, the key can be pulled out. When storing and using remote-controlled keys, pay attention to waterproofing and moisture prevention. Avoid frequently pressing the buttons of the remote key far away from the car to prevent the need for re-pairing the remote key.

What are the reasons why the car key suddenly cannot be pulled out?

The reasons why the car key suddenly cannot be pulled out: 1. After turning off the engine, the key cannot be pulled out because the gear is in P position but does not actually touch the electronic sensor or there are obstacles like coins in the gear slot preventing it from returning to position; 2. The key cannot be turned after insertion due to the car's automatic steering wheel lock function. If the steering wheel is accidentally turned left or right after parking and turning off the engine, or if the wheels are not aligned properly when parking, the steering wheel's self-locking function will activate, causing the steering lock pin and steering column to engage, making the steering wheel immovable. For the first situation, the owner should check if there are any foreign objects blocking the gear slot, remove them, start the car, and shift the gear again to ensure it fully returns to position, then the key can be pulled out; for the second situation, the owner can gently turn the key with the right hand while slightly shaking the steering wheel left and right with the left hand, then the key can be turned.

Does Car Antifreeze Need to Be Replaced?

Car antifreeze needs to be replaced. Car antifreeze is used to add to the radiator. Since the boiling point of antifreeze is as high as 120 degrees Celsius and it can withstand low temperatures from -40 to -60 degrees Celsius, it is used to replace water as the liquid in the car radiator. The shelf life of car antifreeze is generally 2 years, so it is recommended to replace the antifreeze every 2 years or after the car has traveled more than 30,000 kilometers. If the antifreeze level is found to be below the minimum mark before reaching 30,000 kilometers or within 2 years of replacement, it is necessary to add antifreeze at a 4S shop or by yourself. Antifreeze has cooling, anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, and anti-freezing functions.
