I have a 2025 Nautilus. Usually I'm the only person in the car, so I'm not sure now if these issues are new or if I'm just now noticing them. I spoke to the local sales department as the Lincoln Help Center, but neither new what the correct functionality even should be for any of these issues. Any information is appreciated is you have experience with 2025 model.
1. When the door are locked and I approach the front passenger door first, the only way to unlock that door is to dig the key out of my purse and click to unlock button on the fob. The limited keypad does not light up, and the push button under the door handle does not unlock the door. This applies to all passenger doors, but I really only expected to be able to unlock the front passenger door. In fact, I haven't seen a car in 15 years where this didn't work. Am I missing something or is it true that you must have the fob in hand and use the fob button to uplock the passenger door first? (If that is true, I guess Lincoln thinks chivalry is dead and babies in carriers are light enough to just carry around the car and back while trying to uplock the doors!) I really do hope I'm missing something here, because the absolute obscurity of this is driving me crazy. As a women whose fob is always buried in some oversized bag, digging it out is ridiculous.
2. The door keypad doesn't like up with returning to the locked car after a period of time. When I first stop the car and exist after driving it, then close the door, the keypad lights and I can lock the door from the keypad before walking away. I can also lock the door from the passenger door keypad immediately after driving. However, when I return to the locked car after being away, the driver's door keypad will not light up on approach or if I touch the keypad. I do have an emergency code programmed, but it is useless since I can't get the keypad to light. I also thought I should be able to unlock with the lock/unlock button on the keypad if I have the fob within 3 feet, although I typically just squeeze the door handle to unlock the driver's door if the fob is in my purse, but it work, right? Therefore, there is no way to get into the car with the emergence code at all. Similarly, the passenger door keypad does not light up to get it unlocked, which again, I expected to be able to do if I have the fob in my purse or pocket.
3. I have the Lincoln app installed only my phone. I get popup's several times a day saying the remote startup feature is being disabled to preserve battery life. Does that feature really not work if the car has been parked for a few hours? If so, once again, I'm missing the point. Why would I need to remote start a car I just stopped driving. I need to remote start in the morning when it's cold outside before work, when the car has been sitting all night, but I never can because it is disabling itself in the middle of the night.
Why is it so hard just to get inside my own car!!!
