How do I unlock my Lincoln vehicle without a key?

If you locked your keys inside your vehicle and a spare key is not available, you may still be able to get into your vehicle with the Lincoln app, a Keyless Entry Code, or Roadside Assistance.

Important: Lincoln cannot unlock your vehicle remotely. If you are unable to remotely unlock it with the Lincoln app instructions below, contact Roadside Assistance.

Unlocking Your Vehicle Without a Key

Select the method you are using from the drop-down options below to attempt to unlock your vehicle without a key.

Remote Unlock Using the Lincoln App

If you previously downloaded the Lincoln app and activated your vehicle's modem, you can remotely unlock your vehicle by completing the following steps.

  1. Log in to the Lincoln app.
  2. Ensure the correct vehicle is chosen in your garage (if you have more than one vehicle added to the app).
  3. Scroll down and tap the Unlock icon.

A check mark will display on the tapped icon when the command is executed successfully.

Keyless Entry Code (If Equipped)

The Keyless Entry Code lets you unlock the vehicle's doors by using your 5-digit entry code. Enter your 5-digit code on the vehicle's keypad located on the driver's door. 

Note: If you do not know your Keyless Entry Code, a copy of the 5-digit code may have been provided on a wallet-sized card with the Owner's Manual. If a card was not provided, refer to the Where can I find my Lincoln's keyless entry code? article.

Roadside Assistance

If you are unable to unlock your vehicle, contact Roadside Assistance at 1-844-665-2007.

Note: Roadside Assistance is included with your vehicle's New Vehicle Limited and Powertrain Warranty. It is also included with certain ​Lincoln Protect Extended Service Plans​.
