How to Program a 2018 Lincoln MKT Ignition Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
Note: You can program a maximum of four keys to your vehicle. You must have two previously programmed keys and the new unprogrammed key readily accessible. If you do not have two previously programmed keys, you will need a locksmith to cut and program a second key. Make sure the ignition is switched off before beginning this procedure. Ensure that you close all the doors before beginning and that they remain closed throughout the procedure. Carry out all steps within 30 seconds of starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before starting again if you carry out any steps out of sequence. Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Remove the key blade from the transmitter.
2. Remove the rubber covering from the cup holder. With the buttons facing upward and the unlock button facing the front of your vehicle, place the first smart key into the backup slot.
3. Press the push-button ignition switch.
4. Wait five seconds and then press the push-button ignition switch again.
