2024 Lincoln Nautilus alarm detection

[DonLew]

My 2024 Lincoln Nautilus reserve alarm detection goes off randomly. It only happens when I am out using the car. It's never gone off in the garage by itself. I just can't determine what is causing the alarm to trigger.
Anyone have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
I've only had the car about a week and a half. And I'm still learning all of the settings.

Hi DonLew and welcome to the Lincoln Forums.

Blind Internet guess, going off of your description and my I own past experience: The buttons on the keyfob are not well recessed and rather sensitive. And the signal range/distance is surprisingly long.

Since this only seems to occur while you are out with the vehicle, the most likely scenario is the panic alarm button is being inadvertently activated. I have had it happen to me several times over the years. Even a few times while getting into the vehicle with the keyfob in my pocket and the keyfob presses against the bottom of the steering wheel.

I have had the same thing occur with the Global Open/Close window feature. Again, the button is not well recessed, and the windows have opened when the button was accidentally pressed while in my pocket or my wife’s pocketbook.

Of course, it is certainly possible there is some sort of electrical/electronic issue. However, since this never happens while the vwhicle is in the garage (and presumably you don’t have the keys on you?), an accidental panic alarm activation is my blind Internet guess.

If you think there is another issue, schedule a service appointment to have it checked.

I’m sure others will also jump in to help, so keep us updated and good luck.

Thank you for your reply. I did have some other keys hooked to the fob as well but I removed them thinking that was causing the alarm but it's still doing it without them hooked up. I'm going to do some more testing with my phone as the key and not having the key fob on me to see if this stops it. But I think in the past it has gone off with just my phone. Thanks again for your reply I will check back in later.

Just had it out. Phone only. It triggered for no reason.

Are you a helium balloon delivery man?

Nope just a confused new owner. Trying to figure out this issue of the alarm triggering. I must have posted to the wrong person. I intended to reply to

I apologize.

I thought I would post an update. I disconnected my phone as a key
I put the extra keys back on the key fob. It's been almost a week and not one alarm detection has occurred.
It's a shame that these features do not work as advertised.
Thanks again bbf2530.

I would like to add that the dealer suggested that I delete my Lincoln Way account and re-register again. This seemed to help as well. He explained that he had a similar issue with a Ford owner and this worked for them.
