Lincoln Town Car uses a rear air suspension. Only front spring codes are listed. Base part number — 18B036 Powertrain Calibration Information NOTE: Powertrain calibration information is limited to a maximum of 5 characters per line on the Vehicle Certification Label. Because of this, calibration identification consisting of more than 5 characters will wrap to the second line on the VC label. Powertrain calibration information is printed in the lower right corner of the Vehicle Certification Label. Only the base calibration information is printed. Revision levels will not appear, however, they can be found in On Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS). For the current model year, Ford Motor Company is using 3 different protocols which describe powertrain base calibration. These protocols are designed to provide worldwide standardization for vehicle calibration. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1998 and carried into the current model year, Protocol 1 will be used. Refer to Protocol 1 below. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1999 and is carried into the current model year, Protocol 2 will be used. Refer to Protocol 2 below. For electronic calibration strategies introduced since the 2000 model year, use Protocol 3. Refer to Protocol 3 below. Protocol 1 Item Description 1 Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced) 2 Engine code 3 Engine revision level

Protocol 2 Item Description 1 Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced) 2 Engine code 3 Transmission code 4 Emission standard (designates the specific country emission standard) 5 Design level (design level assigned to the engine) Protocol 3 Item Description 1 Model year (model year in which calibration strategy was first introduced) 2 Vehicle code 3 Transmission code 4 Unique calibration (designates different hardware to similar vehicles). Example: tires, drive ratios, etc. 5 Fleet code (describes fleet to which the vehicle belongs). Example: 6 — evaporative emissions 6 Certification region (lead region where multiple regions are included in one calibration). Example: A — U.S. federal 7 Revision level (will advance as revisions occur). Not printed on label The following offers a more detailed explanation of the coding strategy used for Protocol 3.

Model Year 0 — 2000 1 — 2001 2 — 2002 3 — 2003 4 — 2004 5 — 2005 6 — 2006 7 — 2007 Vehicle Line VC — Lincoln Town Car Transmission 1 — Automatic transmission Unique Calibration The Emission/CAFE/CO2 Compliance Department is responsible for assigning these calibration numbers. Unique calibration identifications are assigned to cover similar vehicles to differentiate between tires, drive configurations, final drive ratios and other certification-significant factors. These 2 characters are chosen by the analyst to provide easily identifiable information unique to each calibration. For example, using the number 2 to denote a 2-valve engine versus using the number 4 to denote a 4-valve engine provides an easily identifiable difference. Fleet Code 0 — Certification (U.S. 4K, final sale in an export market) 1 — HDGE/Dyno 2 — Fast AMA U.S. 3 — ADP U.S. 4 — Not assigned 5 — Not assigned 6 — Evaporative emissions 7 — MACAA 8 — On-board diagnostics 9 — Not assigned Certification Region 5 — U.S. 50 states A — U.S. federal, including altitude, may include Canada, may include Mexico B — U.S. California standard, includes U.S. green states C — Canada D — China G — Gulf Cooperative Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE) H — Hong Kong J — Japan K — Korea L — Malaysia M — Mexico N — New Zealand P — Australia Q — South America (Brazil) S — Singapore T — Taiwan
