Vehicle Location is Not Updating

Notas:

  • You can refresh your vehicle's location up to 3 times at 30-second intervals each time.
  • If the message "Refresh failed. May be due to poor vehicle connectivity." appears, it may be a symptom of a larger issue, such as a non-communicating modem.
  • Verify if your other remote commands* are working, such as:
    • Encendido remoto
    • Trabar y destrabar
  • If your other remote commands are successful but your vehicle's location refresh continues to fail, please select contact Lincoln app support for additional assistance.
