Lincoln RESCU System Limitations Service restricted to 48 contiguous states Your Lincoln RESCU System can be activated anywhere within the 48 contiguous states. If an activation occurs outside of this region, the Lincoln Security Response Center will not be able to assist you. Inoperative if cellular phone inactive or inoperative Lincoln RESCU utilizes your vehicle's cellular phone and will not operate if cellular service has not been activated or if the phone is inoperative. Inoperative if battery discharged or disconnected Lincoln RESCU is powered by the vehicle's battery and will not operate if the battery is discharged or disconnected. Potentially inoperative if vehicle involved in accident If the vehicle is involved in an accident, some components could be damaged, rendering your Lincoln RESCU System inoperative. Positioning capability degraded if satellite signals obstructed Vehicle positioning is accomplished by receiving and interpreting signals transmitted by satellites. If the signals are obstructed, positioning capability could be degraded or lost. This situation will be most prevalent in urban areas populated with tall buildings. Tunnels, underpasses, parking garages, trees, and similar structures could also adversely affect positioning performance. Under these conditions, the system will operate but the response center could have difficulty identifying your current location. (The last valid position obtained before the obstruction is retained, however, and will be sent.) The operator may depend on you to provide verbal information regarding vehicle location. 153
