Key Programming: Mercury Milan 2006-2010
Mercury Milan 2006-2010 Key Programming Procedure
The following are the key programming procedures for Mercury Milan for the year 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
ADD KEY (Must have two working original keys):
1. Insert the first previously programmed coded keys into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (RUN) position. Keep the ignition in the 3 (RUN) position for at least 3 seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the first coded key from the ignition.
4. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position, insert the second previously coded key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (RUN) position. Keep the ignition in the 3 (RUN) position for at least 3 seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the second coded key from the ignition.
7. Within 20 seconds of turning the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the new un-programmed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (RUN) position. Keep the ignition in the 3(RUN) position for at least 6 seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
If the key has been successfully programmed, it will start the vehicle’s engine and will operate the remote entry system (if the new key is an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter). The theft indicator light will illuminate for 3 seconds and then go out to indicate successful programming.
If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your vehicle’s engine and/or will not operate the remote entry features. The theft indicator light may flash on and off. Wait 20 seconds and you may repeat Steps 1 through 8. If the failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key(s) programmed.
To program additional new un-programmed key(s), wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1.
About Mercury Milan
The Mercury Milan, like the bigger Montego and Grand Marquis, has a roofline that is shared with its Ford cousin. In order to distinguish the Milan from the Fusion, the model line was equipped with front and back fascias that were unique to each model. With a waterfall-style grille (drawn from the Monterey and Montego), projector headlamps, LED taillamps (which extended into the trunklid), and a bumper-mounted license plate, the Milan stood out from the crowd (trunklid-mounted on the Fusion). The Milan was available with either imitation matte-silver trim or imitation wood trim, identical to that found on the Montego, depending on the trim level selected.
The Milan was subjected to a number of minor changes in 2007. Mercury modified the exterior of the building by adding “MILAN” badges on the front doors. In the course of the model year, an update to the interior panels resulted in improved side-impact protection (along with an improvement in safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). As an option, a DVD-based navigation system was included, coupled with an MP3 auxiliary jack installed on the console as a running change.
The Milan, which made its debut at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, received a significant mid-cycle redesign for the 2010 model year, along with the Fusion and MKZ sedans. However, while only a modest revision to the taillamps was made to the back fascia, considerable revisions were made to the front fascia, which included an expanded grille, reshaped headlamps, and a redesigned front bumper. Revisions were made to the interior, which included the remodeling of the dashboard. While the Mercury Milan Hybrid was not the first hybrid vehicle offered by the company, it was the first Mercury hybrid vehicle to be marketed as a sedan.
