What Is Lincoln's SecuriLock^®* Passive Anti-Theft System?

The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) is an engine immobilization system designed to prevent the engine from starting unless a coded key programmed for your vehicle is used.

Using the wrong key could prevent the engine from starting. If you cannot start the engine with a correctly coded key, there is a problem with the system. Contact your Lincoln Retailer to have your vehicle inspected.

Note: The PATS is not compatible with non-Lincoln aftermarket remote start systems. Using these systems could result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
