How do I use remote lock and unlock with the Lincoln Way App?

When using the Lincoln Way®* App remote controls, you have direct access to remotely lock and unlock your vehicle. Follow the instructions below. 

Important: 

  • Lincoln Way App Remote Commands are not substitutes for having your key fob on hand. You should not leave your key fob at home or inside your vehicle.
  • Your vehicle still requires the presence of a key to put it in drive (D).
  • A Lincoln Concierge does not have access to your remote commands. They cannot unlock, lock, or control your vehicle.

Remote lock/unlock is not a standard feature for all vehicles. The following conditions must be met:

Locking or Unlocking Your Vehicle

If you need further assistance, contact a Lincoln Concierge at 1-800-521-4140, or by selecting Live Chat at the bottom right of lincoln.com/support.
