How do I create a Personal Profile in my Lincoln?

You can set up a personal profile with SYNC®* 4 or Digital Experience®** to save your settings for seats, temperature, ambient lighting, etc. Personal Profiles can also be associated with your key fob, allowing the vehicle to react and welcome each driver to the vehicle automatically. See below for instructions on using personal profiles.

Note: Not every vehicle model is equipped with this feature, regardless of SYNC generation†. Refer to your Owner’s Manual to confirm you can set a personal profile. If you need assistance determining your SYNC generation, refer to the SYNC Visual Reference Guide.
