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. 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 displayed
during an assistance request. They are as shown in the order in which
they would appear:
•
INFO REQUEST or S.O.S. REQUEST
•
CALL IN PROGRESS
•
RINGING RESPONSE CENTER
•
SENDING LOCATION DATA
•
DATA RECEIVED
•
WAITING FOR OPERATOR
Once an assistance request is made, it will typically take less than one
minute until contact is made with an operator. During voice
communication the following messages will alternately toggle on the
display:
•
CID XXXXXXXXXX
•
LAT XXXXXXXXXX
•
LON XXXXXXXXXX
These messages respectively are the customer identification number,
vehicle latitude and vehicle longitude. Under special conditions, the
