<h1>2016 Lincoln MKT Intelligent Access Key (Smart Key with Push-Button Start)</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notes:</b> A total of four Intelligent Access Keys can be programmed to the vehicle.

If interrupted or delayed, wait at least one minute before trying again. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Programming Process:</b></font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Ensure the vehicle is off, and sit in the driver’s seat with all doors closed.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 2: Open the center floor console storage compartment lid to reveal the backup key slot.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 3: Take the first previously programmed Intelligent Access Key and insert it fully into the backup slot. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Without pressing the brake pedal, press the START/STOP button once.
