How do I program a personal keyless entry code for my Lincoln?

You can create up to five personalized keyless entry codes that are easy to remember using the keypad on the door or your SYNC®* system (if equipped).

You will need the original 5-digit keyless entry code. You can find it printed on the owner’s wallet card in the glove compartment or through one of the other methods here.
