<h1>2018 Lincoln MKC Smart Key Remote Fob</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important:</b> The 2018 Lincoln MKC allows you to program up to four intelligent access keys. This procedure requires two working smart keys already programmed to the vehicle. If you only have one or no functional keys, the programming must be completed by a qualified technician using specialized equipment. Before you begin: Ensure all doors are fully closed. Do not press the brake pedal at any time during key placement. Complete all steps within 30 seconds of starting. If any step is missed or performed out of order, wait at least one minute before starting over. Read all instructions fully before beginning. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Step-by-Step Spare Smart Key Programming Procedure:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Sit in the driver’s seat with all doors closed and the ignition switched off. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Open the center console lid to access the backup key slot (usually located inside the console). </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Insert the first working smart key into the backup slot with the buttons facing up. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Without pressing the brake, press the START/STOP button once to enter accessory mode.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 5: Wait five seconds, then press the START/STOP button again to turn off the ignition. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Remove the first smart key from the backup slot. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Within 10 seconds, insert the second working smart key into the same backup slot.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 8: Press the START/STOP button once (without pressing the brake). </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Wait five seconds, then press the START/STOP button again to power off. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 10: Remove the second smart key from the slot. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 11: Wait five seconds, then insert the new, unprogrammed smart key into the backup slot. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 12: Press the START/STOP button once (without pressing the brake).
